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.

whitepaper Defining an Enterprise-Wide Business Performance Management Architecture2007-06-11 12:57:24 Hyperion
  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.

whitepaper Streamline to Success: The Real Mid-Market Experience: Wholesale/Distribution2006-09-26 01:00:16 IBM
  "Legacy" core systems, or Business Management Systems, are the lifeblood that supports the financial functions, and track inventory and sales information. In many cases, the legacy core systems represent 20 to 30 years of business rules and logic, customer and supplier data, and extensive internal and external interfaces, which makes replacing them seem impossible from the perspectives of cost, time, and risk. However, they provide the technology foundation that is the cornerstone to providing information for most of the business functions.   
whitepaper Best Practices for Building Performance in From the Start2006-09-22 01:00:14 Compuware
  Today's highly complex infrastructures and applications, coupled with limited resources, time constraints and the need for greater collaboration among IT teams, make implementing an effective application performance assurance strategy a challenge. Developing such a strategy requires input and collaboration from many disciplines within IT and the business. Despite this challenge and the amount of work involved, businesses want to take their service from good to great, and recognize the fundamental importance for assuring application service. Businesses that meet the challenge stand to gain substantial benefits, including optimally running applications, satisfied end users, efficient use of IT staff and, most importantly, business success and growth.   
whitepaper Performance-Driven Software Development2006-09-22 01:00:14 Compuware
  When software automates business processes, software performance is the limiting factor for business performance. A slow order processing engine necessarily means slowly processed orders. Even though software performance matters to the business, it's low on the priority list for most application development organizations. To meet business needs — and to improve the efficiency of their own operations — development shops must mature their performance practices from pure firefighting to performance-driven development.   
whitepaper Investigating apparent traffic anomalies to ensure peak performance of Permanent TSB's online banking system2006-09-22 01:00:14 Compuware
  In 2001, the bank launched Online Consumer Banking, followed in 2005 by Online Business Banking. The system was developed by the Bank's own in-house IT department and operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Security and customer service are both critical success factors, and a high level of performance is key to success. System usage has been very intensive since it went live. It peaks each weekday morning when offices open for business and when consumer customers carry out their transactions.   
whitepaper Data Quality and Regulatory Compliance: Watching Your Watchlists2007-01-23 01:00:26 SAS Institute
  This paper offers a complete approach to watchlist compliance. There are other approaches, of course, approaches that leverage matching to the exclusion of other technologies and preparations. While matching is perhaps the focal technology in watchlist compliance, it might not produce - in isolation - the results needed for complete, accurate compliance, especially for large, geographically-dispersed organizations. In these instances, the complexity of their data and data sources is such that matching alone should not be replied on for effective compliance.
