This report provides a look at the experiences of several early adopters, focusing on why and how the initiatives were undertaken; what services are provided and planned for the future; what benefits and challenges have been encountered; and what lessons would be useful for others interested in such programs. Because most of these initiatives are still young — in some cases, only a few months old — the case examples focus on objectives, plans, and start-up experiences.
