The eight most important best practices in SOA governance 2008-05-01 Hewlett-Packard (HP)

The technologies used by IT to create Service-Oriented Architectures (SOAs) are maturing. They are found to be robust and reliable. SOA governance provides a framework for making and applying the decisions that determine how the SOA will be designed, developed and operated. Work with real enterprises deploying SOAs to solve real business problems has led to the development of a set of best practices spanning SOA. This paper presents the eight best practices for SOA governance.

HP Open Extensibility Platform: Streamlining Paper-Intensive Business Workflows 2008-04-01 Hewlett-Packard

MultiFunction Peripherals (MFPs) are transforming business workflows. The initial motivator for deploying these devices in the enterprise office was cost savings from the consolidation of copier, print, scan and fax devices. This reduced maintenance costs, power consumption and warranty costs and yielded lower space requirements. Once MFPs were deployed, many companies found that the digital send feature (the ability to scan a document to e-mail) reduced distribution costs and streamlined the movement of paper in the enterprise. This trend for streamlining paper-intensive business processes has continued to the point where the term "Multifunction peripherals" is no longer accurate. These devices have now transformed into clients of business processes.

SaaS Document Management Is Affordable and Attainable 2008-01-14 DocumentMall

"Document Management" usually refers to a system or method of organizing and using the documents (paper or electronic) derived from one's business or organization. The promise of document management is huge. Getting the right information to the right people at the right time means faster and better decision making, shorter sales cycles, better customer service and less wasted time and steps. Unfortunately, many document management systems require big commitment, investment and risk. The Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model provides organizations with total cost of ownership (TCO) savings. With this approach, the software is paid for by subscription and the back-end infrastructure is outsourced. DocumentMall provides simple and effective document management in a "Software as a Service" solution.

General Assembly Manufacturing 2008-01-01 siemens

Recognizing that a lack of process consistency is seriously hampering production efficiency, companies are enforcing standard processes and methodologies across their extended enterprise by adopting a digital manufacturing environment where knowledge and best practices can be captured and shared through a centrally managed repository. Digital manufacturing solutions based on PLM provide a common backbone that links all of the interrelated aspects of assembly manufacturing. These solutions provide highly sophisticated tools that make it possible to manage product and process information more effectively and to ensure that all parties across the value chain work together in highly focused teams that operate in a consistent manner.

Integrating RenderX XSL FO Technology With iText for High Performance Dynamic Forms Generation 2008-01-01 RenderX

This paper presents a complete, generic framework for creating modifiable, flowing PDF forms, based on XML content and standard XSL templates. It requires no programming to generate dynamic, fill-able, custom PDF forms by mapping some RenderX XSL FO extensions to form elements. Recently RenderX has seen many opportunities arise for creating "Dynamic" forms. Dynamic because both the shape and the content of the form may depend on the actual content. This paper presents a method used for generating dynamic forms using RenderX's XEP, an XSL FO formatting engine, combined with the iText library for PDF manipulation to produce dynamic, fill-able, custom forms in a high-volume, multi-threaded application.

Software Testing 3.0: The Continuing Evolution of Software Testing 2007-12-19 LogiGear

This paper traces the evolution of software testing through its first two phases, and then presents the current state-of-the-practice: Software Testing 3.0, an independent and strategic approach to software quality.

The paper concludes with a discussion for senior executives on how and why software testing can finally meet and exceed management expectations, illustrated by real-world case studies showing how two companies benefited from Software Testing 3.0 to test better and faster while lowering their costs.
