Are you training your staff for IPv6?

The expansion of the Internet, known as IPv6, is on its way. But will your staff know how to handle it? The federal government is on a timetable to expand access to the Internet starting in June 2008. It will require the government to move to expanded codes for Internet addresses that will allow the Internet to handle far more addresses than it does now. The General Services Administration, which handles many technology contracts, said it wants information on IPv6 training from companies that already have GSA contracts suitable for providing training. And that means that private sector companies doing business with the federal government need to expand their offerings for training sooner than later. It is only a matter of time--very short, as a matter of fact--when the new Internet will be the norm, not the exception. And it is just as important for CIOs, in their business model, to be able to train their own workers for this expansion, too.
