Businesses can recover from disasters thanks to Information Technology

LAKELAND, FL (September 16, 2005) - Today companies are turning to Mike McMillan of Lakeland in their times of desperation as disasters of all types are creating a need for data recovery technology which plays an increasingly vital role in businesses who rely on computers and servers for storing their operating information.

McMillan, Director of System Integration for DSM, a Lakeland-based company that specializes in systems integration and data recovery, will present a talk at the University of South Florida Lakeland's monthly IT Colloquium on Wednesday, September 21 at 12 p.m. to discuss the need for these specific technologies today and where much of the system integration technology is expected to go in the future.

McMillan recently worked on a project where data recovery technology enabled him to recover 95 percent of a company's data lost during the June 2005 fire that spread through Bartow's historic downtown district. During the talk he will also share what he has learned through 18 years of experience in the information technology field that includes work with the US Navy's multimillion dollar Air Traffic Control system, the AN/TPX-42V12.

In an effort to give Polk County students, educators, community members and business leaders exposure to new technologies, the USF Lakeland Department of Information Technology hosts a free monthly IT colloquium showcasing some of the technological advancements that are improving business organizations worldwide.

The colloquium, which began in 2002, features USF Lakeland faculty, community members and visiting professors from other universities and aims to expand the scope of traditional computer science education into a broader set of disciplines more in tune with the needs of modern society and business. It is scheduled for the third Wednesday of each month at noon on the campus of USF Lakeland. Lunch is provided for participants. For additional information, contact department Chairman Art Karshmer, Ph.D. at (863) 667-7067 or via e-mail at arthur@lakeland.usf.edu.
