Most small businesses turn to banks for credit to smooth out their cash flow, regardless of the economic environment. Securing lines of credit, however, remains a challenge for many companies. Although banks have raised their standards, small businesses need not throw in the towel. Here are three ways to make your company “bankable.”

The Vulnerability of Technology
By Rear Adm. Hamlin Tallent, USN (Ret.), and Capt. Thomas H. Lang, USN (Ret.)
The U.S. Navy may be setting itself up for strategic mismatches of historic proportions in the near future. While its perception of victory may be tainted by the vision of several aircraft carriers of the Imperial Japanese Fleet listing heavily, on fire and dead in the water during the Battle of Midway, today’s mismatch could likely center on the expectation of data flow in the face of an adversary’s ability to deny it.

My Worst Business Mistake: Partnering With an Old Friend
By Eric Basu
I wanted to expand my year-old IT security consulting business and move it into defense contracting, so I decided to look for a partner. I brought up the idea with two good friends of mine who had experience in the industry, and we agreed to set up a company, Sentek Global. We would each claim a one-third ownership stake, with the expectation that each partner would bring in at least $250,000 in revenue in the first year.

Small Government Contractors Can Lead Job Creation
By Eric Basu
The discussion of how to create jobs now that the recession is waning appears to be missing the obvious. Although unemployment numbers are a lagging indicator of a recession and therefore poor numbers should be expected even as the economy recovers, government pundits fail to realize that creating incentives for small businesses to hire workers is the fastest way to encourage new growth and jobs.

Combating Piracy - The Computer Mouse is Mightier than the Sword
Recent events off Somalia involving U.S. Navy SEALs dramatically illustrated that terrorism takes many forms; from relatively well organized groups like al Qaeda to opportunist pirates working in lawless regions of the world. More to the point, that situation painfully highlighted that merchant shippers and private companies stand squarely on the front lines of this war and in larger numbers than military combatants.

Bridging the SOA divide
By Cameron Matthews
Service-oriented architecture (SOA), the definition of grouping functionality around business processes and packaging them as interoperable services, is ideal for most government and military technology environments. This practice allows different applications to exchange data with one another by loosely connecting services with operating systems, programming languages and other technologies that underlie applications. These services communicate with each other by passing data or coordinating an activity with other systems. SOA affords agencies the ability to take advantage of new technologies and respond to end-user demands more quickly and cost- effectively.

Defining AFRICOM’s Mission
By Hamlin Tallent and Cameron Matthews
Combatant commands are vital to the protection and preservation of U.S. interests. However, in today’s dynamic, volatile global environment, they may need to evolve their “product” to best suit the environment they intend to shape. In the case of U.S. Africa Command, it may be more relevant and effective for the organization to support the region’s fledging democracies.

Bridging the SOA divide for deployed assets
By Cameron Matthews, CTO
SOA affords agencies the ability to take advantage of new technologies and respond to end-user demands more quickly and cost- effectively. However, establishing and maintaining connectivity between applications and services can be significantly difficult in forward- deployed operations. There will need to be some rethinking by program managers and engineers about how data exchange can occur with units and individuals operating in remote areas.

Meeting the Mission: How the U.S. Navy Can Rise Above Budget Crunch
By Hamlin Tallent
The U.S. Navy recently reduced the number of new, state-of-the-art DDG-1000 class destroyers to be purchased from seven to three and decided instead to build more Arleigh Burke-class DDG-51 destroyers. Budget constraints don't allow otherwise without hampering the service's goal of growing its fleet to 313 ships.
What remains in question, however, is whether the Navy can still meet its mission. The answer is yes.
