The article presents updates on the use of computer systems. British Financial Services Authority has given operational off shoring to India a clean bill of health after investigating concerns about the safety of customer data. Sheffield's e-government and ICT unit will manage this British resource hub for e-government research, project management, consultancy, accreditation and training. Birmingham City Council has implemented EMC Documentum's Enterprise Content Management platform to handle documents for planning applications and construction and refurbishment projects. Lawmakers in California have introduced a bill to make it illegal for government agencies and other bodies to use Radio Frequency Identification chips in state identification documents. The bill follows attempts by a California school to introduce badges to automatically track students, which have been denounced by civil liberties groups. The product combines IBM DB2 Records Manager and IBM Websphere Information Integrator Content Edition to simplify the management of record-keeping policies for distributed content throughout an organization.
