C&DS - IBM Content Management makes your company more competitive with Information On Demand 2006-09-15 10:02:51 IBM

Tightly integrating business information with processes and people is crucial in order to enhance productivity while extending information infrastructures to ensure consistent, high-quality customer service. Companies must ensure that information such as purchase histories and current portfolio activity is available to employees, distributors and customers, in real time. Learn how IBM Content Management can help you: improve productivity and maximize control of information, streamline compliance to address specific business needs, extend and leverage existing information assets, deliver content where it's needed, maximize return on information, curb database growth and manage compliance issues.

Data Services - Resilient, available and higher-value database servers as the foundation for Information On Demand 2006-09-15 10:02:51 IBM

Learn how IBM Data Servers can provide you with: 1) a resilient and security-rich information management infrastructure that maximizes availability while minimizing planned outages; 2) a scalable, powerful solution that handles mixed workloads and spikes in demand to fully leverage your resources and help you fulfill service-level agreements (SLAs); 3) a productivity-boosting system with autonomic features that enable your information technology (IT) staff to work efficiently—maximizing resources and helping you to keep down the total cost of ownership; and 4) database servers that plug easily into your existing IT architecture.

Evolving to insight with business intelligence 2006-09-11 10:41:38 IBM

This white paper explains the importance of the IBM information infrastructure in terms of providing the information employees need to help their companies become on demand businesses. Of critical importance to this infrastructure are information services such as business intelligence solutions. IBM offers the widest range of business intelligence solutions along with the most scalable, highest-performance data warehouse software product to help customers meet their need for rapid query responses and in-depth business analysis.

IBM SOA Foundation: providing what you need to get started with SOA 2006-03-01 01:01:25

This white paper discusses how you can implement an SOA that suits your unique business requirements based on IBM SOA Foundation software.

IBM invites you to explore the power of Dynamic Digital Merchandising 2006-03-24 10:51:10

Download IBM's "Dynamic Digital Merchandising" webcast or podcast. IBM presented the Platt Retail Institute's findings on the digital communications network tested by the United States Postal Service (USPS) and its implications to the greater retail industry. Learn how the USPS implemented a unique, personalized shopping experience for their customers and see how it benefited their bottom line.

The Citizen Health System (CHS): A Modular Medical Contact Center Providing Quality Telemedicine Services 2006-07-11 03:12:28 Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers

In the context of the Citizen Health System (CHS) project, a modular Medical Contact Center (MCC) was developed, which can be used in the monitoring, treatment, and management of chronically ill patients at home, such as diabetic or congestive heart failure patients. The virtue of the CHS contact center is that, using any type of communication and telematics technology, it is able to provide timely and preventive prompting to the patients, thus, achieving better disease management. This paper presents the structure of the CHS system, describing the modules that enable its flexible and extensible architecture. It is shown, through specific examples, how quality of healthcare delivery can be increased by using such a system.

A Dynamic Programming Framework for Pervasive Computing Environments 2006-05-16 01:00:28 University of Texas

As lightweight sensors and mobile computing devices become ubiquitous, they provide increasing amounts of context information that can be leveraged for a range of uses. This paper presents a novel architecture for managing the resulting context-aware interactions to provide transparent, lightweight decision support for a variety of domain specific applications where the types, locations, and users of pervasive sensors and devices are dynamic and unpredictable. The approach takes the current notion of sensor networks from a unified collecting apparatus to a fluid and information rich environment that is directly accessed by mobile users that move in an information-rich environment.

Grid Service Level Agreements Combining Resource Reservation and Predictive Run-Time Adaptation 2006-08-09 01:00:11 University of Leeds

Resource reservation and performance prediction of execution run-times are key components in delivering timely application services for decision support systems. The provision of Service Level Agreements (SLA) and components to manage tasks such as resource negotiation, monitoring and policing are needed to help meet this requirement. This paper presents an SLA management architecture for use in Grid environments focusing on resource negotiation, monitoring and policing strategies for Grid application services. Included are methods for resource negotiation and generating execution run-time predictions for tracking application progress. Experiments to test the prediction model are presented and compared with a reference execution schedule.

Mitigating financial services risk with Component Business Modeling (CBM) 2006-08-29 13:52:10 IBM

Learn how IBM's Component Business Modeling (CBM) methodology is helping financial institutions take on the make-or-break challenge of managing risk. As they struggle to comply with Sarbanes-Oxley, the USA PATRIOT Act, International Financial Reporting Standards and other industry and governmental regulations, financial institutions are faced with mounting costs. CBM can help these businesses manage these expenses, even while they manage their levels of risk.

Enterprise Business Intelligence: Strategies and Technologies for Deploying BI on an Enterprise Scale 2007-01-24 01:00:28 Hyperion

Since its inception, Business Intelligence (BI) has promised to empower businesses by providing direct access to information they can use to make decisions, create more effective plans, and respond more quickly to problems and opportunities. Eager to reap the full benefits of business intelligence, many businesses now want to transform BI from a departmental to an enterprise-wide initiative.
