whitepaper Continuous Disk-Based Windows Protection2006-12-16 01:00:21 Symantec
  Today's Windows-based organizations find themselves in a quandary. On the one hand, users require instant, on demand data recovery. On the other, industry estimates show data volumes continue to grow 40% to 50% per year. While traditional tape backup has proven effective over the years, today's business climate demands a more efficient approach to both backup and recovery. This paper looks at three data protection strategies and makes the case that Windows-based organizations can best manage data growth and speed data recovery by employing continuous disk-based protection.   
whitepaper Introducing Master Data Management2006-12-16 01:00:21 Forrester Research
  Master data management (MDM) is a business capability enabled through the alignment of multiple information management technologies, business process improvements, and organizational commitments. MDM is much more than a single technology solution; it requires an ecosystem of technologies to allow the creation, management, and distribution of high-quality master data throughout the organization. This master data can be leveraged on both sides of your firewall — wherever and whenever it's needed. Enterprise architects and information management leaders must filter through the vendor hype surrounding MDM and use a checklist that considers the current state of the master data landscape and the technology, resource, and organizational commitment required to successfully implement this business capability across it.

whitepaper Content Selection Based on Compositional Image Quality2007-01-07 01:00:31 International Society for Optical Engineering
  Digital publishing workflows usually have the need for composition and balance within the document, where certain photographs will have to be chosen according to the overall layout of the document it is going to be placed in. i.e., the composition within the photograph will have a relationship/balance with the rest of the document layout. This paper presents a novel image retrieval method, in which the document where the image is to be inserted is used as query. The algorithm calculates a balance measure between the document and each of the images in the collection, retrieving the ones that have a higher balance score.   
whitepaper Keeping Up With the Times2006-11-08 01:00:18 Oracle
  This paper provides an approach to implementing one of the more demanding types of transformations: the dreaded Type 2 Slowly Changing Dimension (SCD). Although this technique may be applicable to other type of transformations, it is particularly useful for the Type 2 SCD. The focus of this paper is the Type 2 SCD, as it is the most effective and most commonly used variety. The Type 2 SCD provides an approach for completely and elegantly tracking history, while conforming to the dimensional model for optimal performance. Although Oracle9i Warehouse Builder (OWB) does not have "Built-in" support for SCD transformations, one can easily implement them within the OWB framework.   
whitepaper Corporate Performance Management Solution Enhances the Eyes and Ears of Police Force2006-11-08 01:00:18 Microsoft
  Israel Police is regarded as one of the most progressive, best-trained, and most dedicated forces in the world, with approximately 27,000 officers spread over six districts, 17 sub-districts, and some 70 police stations. In 1999, in an effort to be accountable and responsive to the needs and concerns of citizens and to demonstrate the impact of its efforts in areas of crime, traffic law, and beyond, Israel Police implemented a basic system for collecting performance information. However, the system lacked tools for organizing information to make informed decisions about how to improve service performance. Israel Police chose a corporate performance management solution from Microsoft Certified Partner Panorama Software that is based on Microsoft Office Business Scorecard Manager 2005.

whitepaper Create an Excel Report From Several Oracle Databases Using Apache Jakarta POI2006-11-08 01:00:18 Oracle
  Microsoft Excel spreadsheets are ubiquitous in today's business environment. Although Excel can read and display delimited files, the .xls proprietary format provides additional expressive features, including font formatting and multiple sheets per spreadsheet. Many tools - commercial as well as open source - provide a mechanism for producing reports that Excel can read. Depending on the structure and use of particular databases, there are additional reasons why one might produce this type of spreadsheet, but these reasons are dependent upon functional requirements and definitions of particular databases. This paper describes how to use the Apache Jakarta POI open source project to produce a spreadsheet from several different datasources.
