Lenovo's Latest ThinkCentre Desktop Brings Energy Efficiency to the Mainstream 2007-09-14 Technology Business Research

Energy efficiency is the new metric by which businesses are measuring IT operations. Increasingly, energy efficiency is also becoming a factor by which customers and even government regulators are evaluating businesses. By focusing on energy-efficient computing, Lenovo is helping businesses limit energy consumption and boost efficiency. The company has recently been designing more energy-efficient products, including the newly launched ThinkCentre A61e, an ultra small form factor desktop PC. The ThinkCentre A61e uses less than one-half the electricity of a typical small form factor desktop PC.

Students Integrate Tablet PCs Into High School Math Curriculum to Improve Learning 2007-09-10 Microsoft

Torrey Pines High School wanted to integrate Wolfram Research's Mathematica 6.0 technical computing software into its curriculum to answer the needs of its advanced mathematics students. Microsoft and Lenovo partnered with Wolfram Research and deployed 30 Tablet PCs running the Windows Vista operating system for the students' full-time use. While beta testing Mathematica 6.0, students used the Tablet PC pen and touch technologies for a rich computing experience in manipulating the new program's interactive graphics and developing complex data models. The class created a series of Mathematica learning tools, which it uploaded to a new Web site for use by teachers, students, and others interested in mathematics.

How to Design a New Product That Will Compete in a Brand Dominated and Choice Saturated Market Environment? 0000-00-00 GadShaananDESIGN

The rear projection television market is saturated, price driven market dominated by consumer electronics giants such as Sony, Samsung and Mitsubishi as well as less known, low priced brands from China. HP wanted to capture the essence of their brand attributes. As a new player in the RPTV market, HP wanted to introduce a product that would "Stand out" from the competition and establish itself as a key player in the category. The design strategy should convey the message that "HP IS THE OBVIOUS CHOICE", HP turned to GadShaananDesign to address the challenge. This case study will focus on the discovery of the "Unique feature" strategy on the RPTV itself and not the remote control or other elements of the project.

Bendigo Bank Bolsters Growth Strategy With IBM Global Financing 0000-00-00 IBM

With 25-30 new branches opening each year, Bendigo Bank views IT infrastructure as critical to supporting the bank in its efficient delivery of banking and wealth management services to customers nationally. With its business growing by over 20 per cent per annum, Bendigo Bank began to face the challenges imposed by ageing IT equipment supplied through leases from various suppliers. After a comprehensive review, Bendigo Bank decided to consolidate its IT asset leasing into a partnership with IBM Global Financing. The bank's IT infrastructure comprises about 3000 desktop and notebook computers, more than 400 small servers and an IBM Servers mainframe server, with associated storage and tape library.

Success Stories: Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology 0000-00-00 Hewlett-Packard (HP)

Engineering and science coursework is notoriously difficult, with an endless barrage of equations, formulas and methodologies to study and review. At Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology in Terre Haute, Indiana, students and faculty rely on HP to make learning easier and the learning environment better integrated. Since 1994, each incoming freshman has received a notebook PC. For its latest class, the school wanted a highly durable notebook PC with faster processing speeds and improved graphics capabilities. After reviewing and testing several notebook PCs, the school chose the HP nw8440 Mobile Workstation.

HP's Mobility Solution Helped Position Cyber Resource to Seamlessly Cope With Change and Beat the Competition 0000-00-00 Hewlett-Packard (HP)

Located in Beijing Shangdi High Technology Industrial Park, Cyber Resource has many overseas investment companies as well as government entities as customers, and is well known in its industry. For them to fully understand the actual needs of a customer, a good many projects require that Cyber Resource post engineers onsite at the customer's office. As such, many of their staff must continually operate between Cyber Resource and customer offices. The company had to, therefore, find a way to help its staff work more effectively. Cyber Resource believed that the best way was to adopt a HP Smart Office mobility solution. They replaced some of their Desktop PCs with HP Business Notebooks and also introduced several HP iPAQ Pocket PCs.

Scan to PC Desktop Professional Workgroup Edition v9.1: Personalize Your Xerox Network Scanning and Your PDF Workflow 2007-09-01 Xerox

The single greatest challenge today to streamlining document-based processes in the office is the fact that there are three dominant, yet incompatible, document formats - Paper, Microsoft Office and PDF. A significant majority of knowledge and information in the office is still in paper format. Locked in a paper document, knowledge and information is not easily shared across an organization. Microsoft Office provides millions of professionals a rich environment for document creation. However, the editable Microsoft Office file format is not well suited for electronic publishing and online document storage. On the other hand, PDF has emerged as an electronic file sharing standard providing business users with a format that is well suited for the viewing, sharing, printing and archiving of documents.

The HP Blade Workstation Solution - A New Paradigm in Workstation Computing Featuring the HP ProLiant xw460c Blade Workstation 2007-09-01 Hewlett-Packard (HP)

The HP Blade Workstation Solution represents a new paradigm in workstation computing. Rather than placing the workstation's computing power at the user's desk, the computing power, in the form of blade workstations, is moved to the data center where the workstations can be more easily, securely, and inexpensively managed. Centralizing an organization's workstations in the data center provides many benefits, including. This paper describes the industry-leading HP Blade Workstation Solution and how this solution delivers the above benefits as well as many other important benefits. An overview of the solution is presented first followed by a more detailed description.

The Entry-Level HP Workstations: Market Segments and Application Areas 2007-09-01 Hewlett-Packard (HP)

Engineers, designers and power office users are constantly demanding more from their desktop systems. Increasingly sophisticated applications require more computing performance, larger memory, and a range of professional graphics - all on similar or shrinking budgets. Although ordinary business PCs can sometimes fulfill these users' needs, the demands these applications make on a desktop system often make a workstation a required solution. However, until recently, the per-unit pricing of workstations meant that organizations could only justify deployment to users with higher-end computing requirements. With the recent introduction of two entry-level workstations, HP has made workstation power uniquely affordable to a broader range of users.

Microsoft Windows XP Professional Enables Unattended Installation of Operating System and Applications in Less Than an Hour 0000-00-00 Microsoft

Taking advantage of Remote Installation Services (RIS) and Group Policy features in the Microsoft Windows XP Professional operating system, the Corporate Services Division Information Technology Management Branch (ITMB), serving two British Columbia environmental ministries, was able to perform a completely unattended installation of both the operating system and applications in an average of 40 minutes per desktop. These capabilities will help reduce deployment costs, automate future software upgrades, and simplify hardware additions and changes. The expected result is a more consistent environment and the ability for the ministries to more efficiently administer and support their 3,500 desktops.
