whitepaper Information Architecture Essentials, Part 6: Distributed Data Mining2008-04-08 IBM
  The explosive growth in data-storage capabilities and rapid network communication protocols has allowed organizations to collect and store a staggering amount of information on specific topics. These databases may be upwards of petrabyte size (1 x 10 15 bytes, or a billion megabytes) - a truly awe-inspiring amount of data! Such massive information stores are often found in research applications (such as biology, medicine, physics, and astronomy) and government agencies (such as the IRS, Department of Defense, and Department of Labor). They may also occur in business: for example, in insurance calculations for underwriting risk. Government agencies often need to share data, but different data schemas, interfaces, and communication techniques complicate these transfers.

whitepaper Information Architecture Essentials, Part 5: Business Intelligence in Your Information Architecture2008-04-01 IBM
  This series explores a variety of elements that create a successful information architecture design. As one manages and organizes data and content, work with distributed data mining, and analyze and present information to users, there is a key element that one can't let go untapped: business intelligence. How is one using all that data to build a better business from within? Is one getting the right information to the right people and in a format they can understand? If the first response is, "Um, uh&," then it's a good bet that the design is suffering from what some experts call an information paradox - an excess of information that has little usefulness.

whitepaper Implementing a Transaction Hub MDM Pattern Using IBM InfoSphere Master Data Management Server2008-03-20 IBM
  Master data such as customers, products, accounts or locations is the foundation of critical business decisions and is used in important business processes. Today, many companies have their master data scattered and inconsistent across numerous front- and back-office systems and lack a consistent, complete, and accurate enterprise view of this data. This inefficient handling of data costs businesses millions of dollar in lost revenue. Master Data Management (MDM) solves these issues and improves revenue by enabling cross- and up-sell opportunities. Implementing a MDM solution successfully requires a well-designed MDM system as a core component of the solution.

whitepaper The Tangled Web of Google Health - Online Medical Records Could Change Healthcare Receivables Strategies2008-03-20 Kaulkin Ginsberg
  Several prominent web cornerstone firms, like Google and Microsoft, are pushing a system that would allow consumers' access to Personal Health Records.
