How have you highlighted the efforts of your IT department? Were these measures successful? Do you agree with Ramon Padilla Jr. that it's important to bring attention to the IT department, or do you think it's better if the department stays in the background? Share your comments about getting the IT department noticed, as discussed in the March 23 Government IT e-newsletter.

I'm a Network Admin for our medium sized company and had the same situation, our IT dept is like the CIA, no one knows what we're up to. A few years ago our company started a daily newsletter. It became popular and 80% of the company is now reading it daily. To make IT noticed, we occasionally submit articles discussing best practices as far as spam and viruses or whatever. We also include the picture and name of the associate in IT who wrote the article. During our company conference call (quarterly) the president will sometimes announce the next big project for IT. This has worked for us.
