whitepaper Get Clean, Stay Clean - Competitive Advantage through Data Quality2008-01-01 Netrics
  The purported benefits of advanced IT investment are many. Systems promise to provide executives with comprehensive, timely, and accurate data to support better decision making. Whether the strategic goal is better customer targeting and servicing (Customer Relationship Management), streamlined logistics (Enterprise Resource Planning), or an integrated view of the enterprise (Master Data Management), all of these strategic IT initiatives - and many more - fundamentally depend on the accuracy of the databases that feed these advanced systems.

The Gartner Group estimates that 25% of all corporate data has significant data quality issues.

Read this white paper to learn more about the Netrics' Decision Engine and how it can help your organization realize the full potential of their IT investment because systems are working with a strong foundation of clean, accurate data.

whitepaper Lessons Learned in Master Data Management2007-12-13 Investcorp
  Master Data Management (MDM) is getting the attention it deserves. In hindsight, it's surprising how master data that forms the foundation of any enterprise initiative was never discussed holistically when organizations initiated multimillion dollar initiatives such as Customer Relationship Management (CRM), supply chain integration/optimization, Data Warehousing (DW), Business Intelligence (BI) and other integration-related initiatives. It probably is one primary reason for many of these initiatives not delivering their anticipated value. Master data is the most important and, in fact, the only information asset available to integrate data and business processes in a seamless manner.

whitepaper Seeing the Big Picture: A Corporate Guide to Better Decisions through IT2007-12-04 SAP
  Executives at small and midsize companies make critical business decisions every day based on the information available to them. This information can come from a variety of sources: opinions from peers and colleagues; a personal sense of intuition or business judgment; or data derived internally or externally to the organization. This is particularly worrisome given the lack of confidence in data available to decision makers: a 2007 report conducted by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) and commissioned by Business Objects found that nine out of ten corporate executives admit to making important decisions on the basis of inadequate information.

whitepaper Integrating Consumer Demand to Improve Shipment Forecasts2007-12-01 SAS Institute
  Integrating consumer demand to improve shipment forecasts has become a high priority in the Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) industry over the past several years. Until recently, many factors such as data collection and storage constraints, poor data synchronization capabilities, technology limitations and limited internal analytical expertise have made it impossible to either integrate with consumer demand or link to shipment forecasts. With improvements in technology, data collection and storage, along with improved analytical knowledge, CPG companies are now looking to integrate consumer demand with their shipment forecasts to capture the impact of marketing activities on shipments. As a result, Multi-Tiered Causal Analysis (MTCA) is receiving renewed interest.

whitepaper Import Data Into Office Publisher, Visio, or Word by Using the Data Connection Wizard2007-12-01 Microsoft
  There is a world of data outside of the Microsoft Office Publisher, Visio, or Word program that one can use inside each program. But how does the user import the data and secure it? It is all about making the right connections. Data in one's program can come from an external data source, such as a text file, a workbook, or a database. This external data source is connected to the program through a data connection, which is a set of information that describes how to locate, log in, and access the external data source. The main benefit of connecting to external data is this: One can periodically analyze this data without repeatedly copying the data. Repeatedly copying data is an operation that can be time-consuming and error-prone.

whitepaper A Change in the Paradigm: The Rise of the New Enterprise Data Center2007-12-01 IBM
  The paradigm for the modern enterprise data center, which has served businesses admirably for many years, is looking increasingly brittle. The strains posed by disruptive technological innovations and ever-changing service demands required by business units, coupled with budgetary pressures as well as increasing requirements for security, resiliency, and performance have pushed the data center quite literally to the breaking point. Like a juggler with too many balls in the air at one time, today's data center executive feels like he or she can barely manage to keep a data center running, much less develop a vision for tomorrow's data center architecture.
