This article reports that Deirdre Woods, CIO at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School and her IT team soon will roll out enhancements to Wharton's Spike student portal that include mobile features such as letting students use text messaging to reserve study rooms and view course schedules. Woods previously worked at an econometric forecasting firm. Woods said that offshoring isn't going away, but it actually gives opportunities for a lot more different people to be in the profession, because it only makes the work more complex. One of the most popular electives is Wharton's negotiations class, and Woods has sat in on several sessions.
