Everything's plugged in!
I get a call that only two of five users in one area can connect to the
network. It's initially relayed to me as the connections "went down" and only
the two came back up. There are no other reports of any network problems. . .

All too often, BI is done only by isolated departments or managers, and the
results are not put to good use throughout the organization. But by extending
