About ITANS

When I was in Halifax during the SQL Server 2005 Lauch Tour I got an opportunity to meet with members of the Information Technology Industry Alliance of Nova Scotia (ITANS) and find out about the exciting work they are doing to assist IT organizations, government, and education reach their mutual goals.  I have asked Michael McConnell, the CEO of ITANS to provide a guest blog posting describing what ITANS is all about, so here it is:
