whitepaper DataFlux Version 8: Accelerate to Compliance, Data Governance and MDM2007-01-23 01:00:26 SAS Institute
  Increased competition in a global marketplace is forcing many businesses to re-think their data management strategies and techniques. After all, better data fuels better decisions about customers, products, suppliers and strategic partnerships. However, organizations typically store and manage information within multiple divisions, regions and languages, creating silos of non-integrated data. And as this data multiplies, data governance becomes increasingly important in solving the problems that inevitably occur across so many divisions within the enterprise. To adequately understand the business and keep pace in this increasingly global environment, one needs a technology capable of consolidating and maintaining corporate data on a single, unified master data repository.   
whitepaper Solving the Data Quality Problem2006-10-27 01:00:16 TriTuns Innovation
  This paper examines the nature, cause and impact of data quality problems in typical IT system implementations. It argues that the extent and impact of poor data quality is largely misunderstood and often ignored. It is proposed that the problem of poor data quality is primarily a behavioral problem, not a technological problem. This paper provides an approach for improving data quality through clear accountability for the prevention, detection and correction of data problems.   
whitepaper Launching Your CDI Program: The Pitch, the People, the Plan2007-01-23 01:00:26 SAS Institute
  Customer Data Integration (CDI) has one foot in established systems - those that need newly-robust customer data on demand - and the other in a new paradigm of automated data management and purpose-built data integration. Marrying incumbent technologies, available skill sets, and business processes with a new paradigm of "Integration on demand" means that launching a CDI effort is different, arguably more specialized, than other strategic IT programs. This paper describes the critical success factors to consider when starting up CDI, involving larger Master Data Management (MDM) principles, but delivering business value incrementally and quickly. The paper defines CDI as the automation of the integration, reconciliation and management of customer reference data from enterprise systems and to enterprise systems.   
whitepaper The CIO's Guide to Taking Data Asset Metrics to the Boardroom2007-01-23 01:00:26 SAS Institute
  Data quality and data integration can affect all aspects of an organization. Without consistent, accurate and reliable data, companies cannot respond to trends and meet customer expectations. This white paper explains how reports on data quality initiatives can help executives understand the impact of data quality - and what CIOs need to know to foster an environment of continual data improvement.   
whitepaper IDC Technical Brief: Enabling Technologies for Blade Management2006-11-02 08:47:54 Hewlett-Packard
  In June 2006, Hewlett-Packard (HP) announced its next-generation blade chassis, the BladeSystem c-Class, which addresses some of the total cost of ownership (TCO) issues facing today's data centers. Chief among these concerns is the need to rein in infrastructure management and administration costs. Toward that end, the company has introduced HP Insight Control, which automates key management functions and significantly reduces the time required to manage BladeSystem c-Class servers. Download this IDC Technical Brief to read more about HP Insight Control and to learn why manageability features are a critical consideration when evaluating and choosing your blade platform.

  From the perspective of today's business users, there is a growing demand for a single system that will address all of their business performance management requirements. Adding to the complexity, most organizations cannot afford to replace their existing infrastructure and therefore require solutions that work in conjunction with as many existing systems as possible. These requirements drive a new class of product with a unified Business Performance Management (BPM) architecture.
