whitepaper RFID: Changing Business Dramatically, Today and Tomorrow2006-09-30 01:00:12 SAP AG
  Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology helps today's companies track and control goods as they move through the supply chain. But the broad investments required for RFID-enablement are risky, since standards for the technology are still evolving and there are high costs involved in maintaining unintegrated RFID systems. For more information about the challenges you'll face in adopting and integrating RFID tags, readers, and the hardware and software infrastructure they require, check out this white paper from SAP.

  
whitepaper Management of R&D Projects Under Uncertainty: A Multidimensional Approach to Managerial Flexibility2006-04-20 07:19:00
  This paper describes the practical application of a flexibility-based management approach to new product development, highlighting advantages, and limitations of this methodology. The model is concerned with the resolution of uncertainty over the product development life cycle and deals with technical, market, and cost factors all together. To this end, the authors consider a real options model, which uses multidimensional decision trees, to assess the development process of a high-technology product, namely the Adaptive Optics Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscope.   
whitepaper A Life-Cycle Cost Estimating Methodology for Nasa-Developed Air Traffic Control Decision Support Tools2006-04-25 03:49:07
  This paper describes the development of a Life-Cycle Cost (LCC) estimating methodology for air traffic control Decision Support Tools (DSTs) under development by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), using a combination of parametric, analogy, and expert opinion methods. There is no one standard methodology and technique that is used by NASA or by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for LCC estimation of prospective Decision Support Tools. The developed LCC estimating methodology can be visualized as a three-dimensional matrix where the three axes represent coverage, estimation, and timing. This paper focuses on the three characteristics of this methodology that correspond to the three axes.   
whitepaper Real-Time Business Intelligence and Data Integration as a Strategic and Critical Component2006-02-10 10:43:39
  Change Data Capture (CDC) is a strategic component in the data integration infrastructure that dramatically improves efficiencies, eliminates the needs for batch windows, deals with the growth of data volumes, delivers information in real-time, and reduces costs. Attunity Stream provides an enterprise-scale CDC solution that complements and works seamlessly with existing ETL and EAI investments. Visit us at www.attunity.com .   
whitepaper Managing Master Data for Business Performance Management: The Issues and Hyperion's Solution2007-04-10 14:59:40 Hyperion
  This white paper from IDC defines master data management and explores the various scenarios and issues gaining attention both from IT and business managers. The challenge for organizations is to align business roles with responsibilities for management of specific master data domains, with IT providing the technical support for the underlying data resources and data models.   
whitepaper Best Practices in Selecting Performance Management Software2006-02-07 09:05:11
  A new generation of sophisticated, Web-based database applications is changing the way companies look at planning and financial reporting. These corporate performance management (CPM) solutions combine a wide variety of financial functions into a single suite, resulting in one real time data pool for budgeting, forecasting, consolidation, reporting, business modeling, strategic planning and decision support.

This white paper, created by CFO Research Services, documents the experiences learned from organizations that have previously deployed performance management solutions. It discusses how companies defined their business problem, evaluated technology and process change, and implemented their solutions with the goal of achieving sustainable business results. In addition, a list of best practices to help any organization undertaking a CPM project is provided. 		  
whitepaper Case study: Banca Popolare di Milano2006-08-29 13:52:30 IBM
  This Italian bank set out to offer better customer service--and started by transforming its IT. IBM helped it break down the walls separating different customer-service channels, to give the company a single view of its clientele. The result was improved service, enhanced cross-selling opportunities and faster time to market.

whitepaper OSS for The New World20040302121649 Axiom Systems
  The communications companies at the heart of the New World Economy are not only providing those enterprise businesses with the network and higher value services which can be supported by their wireline and wireless infrastructures, but are also now searching for the new Operational Support System (OSS) and Business Support System (BSS) technologies needed to sustain the resulting complex business and operational processes. To operate at business speed is to perform in ever shrinking elapsed time frames for the period from order to delivery of product, or consumption of service. Speed concerns the reduction of product and service lifecycles. The time from launch to the point at which the product or service becomes redundant, surpassed by other differentiated offers, or is morphed into hybrid variations and customer crafted customisations of the original. Speed has an impact on customer expectations that are firmly targeted on the benefit of now.   
whitepaper A Brief History of Decision Support Systems20040302121454 Decision Support Systems Resources
  Today, a number of disciplines provide the substantive foundations for DSS development and research. Database researchers have contributed tools and research on managing data. Management Science has developed mathematical models for use in DSS and provided evidence on the advantages of modeling in problem solving. Cognitive Science, especially Behavioral Decision Making research has provided descriptive information that has assisted in DSS design and has generated hypotheses for DSS research.
