Linking a university's information systems resources with local businesses provides a win-win scenario for improving the technological life of both. Partners in Technology Transfer, residing at the intersection of several traditional roles of the university, establishes this connection using the ideas of virtual workgroups, workshops/courses, and projects to bring the parties together. The result is an environment for outreach education in technology, professional certification for workers in technology, and information systems consulting to the business community.

Keywords: technology transfer, partnership, incubation center, certification, brain gain
