whitepaper Desert Schools Federal Credit Union Upgrades Internet Security to Give Members Advanced Fraud Protection2007-09-01 Oracle
  Desert Schools Federal Credit Union is Arizona's largest credit union, with more than US$2.7 billion in assets, over 325,000 members, and nearly 60 locations. Desert School wanted to protect member data against potential threats including phishing and integrate security with minimal business disruption. The challenge was to identify a solution that can scale to respond to increasingly sophisticated threats and stronger federal guidelines. Desert School implemented Oracle Adaptive Access Manager to provide advanced security and a future-proof fraud protection strategy - without sacrificing the convenience or usability of online baking systems. It also enabled real-time fraud detection and risk analysis, which can determine what location a user is signing in from or if someone is trying to login fraudulently from a different location.

whitepaper The Green Revolution in Data Warehousing: The Power, Cooling and Footprint Advantages of the Netezza Analytic Appliance2007-09-01 Netezza
  The Netezza Performance Server (NPS) analytic appliance redefines energy efficiency in data warehousing, while providing cost-effective query performance beyond the reach of other systems. This paper examines the power crisis in the data center, and the environmental impact of general-purpose processor technology (web servers, email servers, OLTP servers, etc.). Today's tightly packed servers consume more power and give off more heat than their predecessors as the latest generations of x86 chips drive enormous amounts of data through microscopic circuitry. But is this type of computing, and the power it requires, optimal for data warehousing? The paper then examines the NPS system from an energy efficiency perspective.

whitepaper Visualizing Change: An Innovation in Time-Series Analysis2007-09-01 SAS Institute
  The paths that one's lives take and the speed of passage from one place to the next are difficult to retrace. The story of a life is a story of change as one navigates, in the present, what immediately becomes the past and is mostly forgotten. Wouldn't it be enlightening if one's life could be revealed as a picture, a map that displayed the entire journey on a single page, a record of the many intersections, turns, paths, and events that have become lost in the haze of fallible memory? On the pages that follow the author examines this problem of tracing change through time, not in terms of the personal journeys, but in terms of the journeys that reside in the data.

whitepaper Bloor Research: Database Performance Management - The Importance of Time-Based Analysis2007-09-01 Confio Software
  The only performance that matters in a computer system is how long it takes to respond to a users request for information. The only sensible way to monitor the performance of a system is to measure the amount of time it takes to respond to those requests.

This paper, written by internationally recognized firm Bloor Research, explains that counting the number of times things occur is outdated and that a time-based approach is not only more intuitive but is also more effective in monitoring and identifying root cause. The paper also highlights Confio's Ignite software as an excellent example of a practical solution using this method.

whitepaper Mining Methodologies to Ensure Successful CLV Implementation: Cross-Sell/Up-Sell Modeling2007-08-31 SAS Institute
  Selling more to the existing customers not only increases the likelihood of a satisfied customer, but it also increases value. The presenter of this webcast discusses how data mining can help answer the fundamental business questions associated with successful cross- and up-selling campaigns, including: "What groups of products are customers mostly likely to own?" "What products are owned by groups of similar customers?" "How likely is a particular type of customer to buy?" The attendee will learn about identifying opportunities for cross-sell and up-sell that will increase revenue per customer and optimize value; evaluating various analytical approaches, such as association analysis, cluster analysis and predictive modeling; and building two-stage models that not only maximize the probability of successful sales but also add economic value.

whitepaper MSDN Webcast: Developing More Intelligent Applications With Data Mining (Level 300)2007-08-28 Microsoft
  Imagine an application that adjusts its behavior as it learns about the needs and characteristics of its users: for instance, a user interface that knows what the user is most likely to do, or select, next. Or, perhaps, a Web store that can predict a shipment delivery failure even before the order has been placed, and warns the user. How about software that knows it is being abused and is on the brink of being attacked by a criminal? In these three cases, and many others, the traditional approach would require one to think of all the circumstances in advance, and to encode them as some form of logic.
