President's Message - April 2008

Greetings,

With the spring season in full swing, things at InSight are really starting to bloom. We kicked off the year with the rollout of our redesigned Web site to enrich collaboration within the InSight community, and from there, we have only gained momentum. 

Those who have visited the Web site within the past week may have noticed a new addition, the launch of our InSight Search Application, powered by Google Search Appliance. To learn about some of the new functions associated with this tool, please read “InSight Launches Web site Search Tool” in this issue of NewsLink. As this is a new function, updates will follow so be on the lookout for future notifications.

The first Webcast in our CIO Forum Webcast Series also began this month. This program runs now through September where it will culminate at the CIO Forum during the InSight 2008 Annual Conference. If your position is C-level or equal to and you have questions about the CIO Forum and the Webcast Series, or you want to forward this information to your supervisor, please send an e-mail to ciopeers@insight-net.org. 

The thought of the CIO Forum brings another event to mind.  The InSight 2008 Annual Conference is coming soon.  Specific conference information will start to hit your inboxes and the Web site in the very near future, including early bird registration, hotel information and a host of other top-of-mind items. Stay informed by visiting the InSight 2008 Annual Conference landing page frequently.

The InSight Board of Directors continues to put forth great effort to make sure you and others remember that InSight is a year-round resource for McKesson customers.  As NewsLink continues to be your monthly source for new and important InSight information, I want to personally extend the invitation for feedback.  NewsLink is a great member resource and your connection to the InSight community.  In order to have the most pertinent information, we want to hear from you.  If you have any questions or comments, please send an e-mail to insight@insight-net.org.

Best regards,
Janet Stanek
2008 InSight President
