As a lap tray, the UltraLite creates a 22-inch x 11-inch workspace. It cools laptops via ventilation channels that allow increased airflow beneath the computer. Used as a desktop stand, the product folds into a wedge shape and props the laptop's keyboard into five typing angles to allow comfortable use. Nonslip rubber anchors the notebook to the device.

This Digital Communities white paper highlights discussions with IT officials in four counties that have adopted shared services models. Our aim was to learn about the obstacles these governments have faced when it comes to shared services and what it takes to overcome those roadblocks. We also spoke with several members of the IT industry who have thought long and hard about these issues. The paper offers some best practices for shared government-to-government services, but also points out challenges that government and industry still must overcome before this model gains widespread adoption.
Don't miss this opportunity to see the latest in digital government solutions, keep abreast of current policy issues and network with key government executives, technologists and industry specialists.
