whitepaper Understanding SOA and Business Mashups: Automate. Coordinate. Collaborate. No coding required!2008-06-26 Serena Software
  Featured Speaker: Tim Zonca, Master Masher and Director of Product Marketing at Serena Software

Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) has been the talk of business process management, IT and enterprise architecture for the last decade, but the promise of SOA remains largely unfulfilled. Learn how Serena Business Mashups help you milk SOA for all its worth and offer new hope for beating the application backlog.

View this on-demand Serena webinar, where Master Masher Tim Zonca shows you how Business Mashups are the killer application for SOA and Web services, making your business more productive. Instead of relying on highly-skilled developers for all SOA work, non-programmers can visually assemble composite applications, called Mashups, using a simple, drag-and-drop user interface, and with no coding required.

In this webinar, you will learn:
  • What SOA is and how Business Mashups are strategically and technically aligned with it.
  • Why SOA matters.
  • How Web services can be used to rapidly assemble applications from existing building blocks.
  • How business users can perform application assembly, without programming skills.
  • How different systems, whether behind the firewall or Internet-based services, are easily connected.

whitepaper HP Open Extensibility Platform: Streamlining Paper-Intensive Business Workflows2008-04-01 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.
