Tue, June 10, 2008 — CIO — CORRECTION: Due to inaccurate information provided by the primary source for this article, the original version of this article overstated the nature and scope of Kane County's virtualization efforts, and misstated the return on investment the that Illinois county received, according to the Kane County CIO. David Siles, the Kane County IT staffer interviewed for this piece, is no longer a Kane County employee. Because the substance of the original article was not accurate, CIO.com has removed the original text.
