Installing and managing virtual private networks isn't easy, but security vendor Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. says it's making the job less of a challenge. Its Next Generation Feature Pack 1 touts one-click technologies that create interconnected VPNs. IT managers can automate the deployment of VPNs by creating traffic rules and properties for each gateway, assigning the rules to a VPN community, and connecting disparate locations in a single click. Says Gartner security analyst John Pescatore, "Check Point has taken a step that makes it easier for their customers to manage their products."

Insurance Providers: Improving Customer Retention through the Contact Center
Customer experience is a big deal for the insurance industry, and doing it right has never been more critical than now. In fact, Nationwide Insurance found that a 1% increase in customer retention increased annual premiums by $1 million. In order to master providing a consistent � and consistently positive � customer experience, insurance companies must rebuild their contact center operations around the customer. The problem? Desktop complexity in the insurance contact center, which is particularly prevalent in the insurance industry. Some insurance companies have more than 20 applications and tools on the desktop.
