whitepaper June 2006 IT Priorities Report2006-09-26 08:23:05 TechRepublic
  In the June 2006 survey of IT priorities among medium to large U.S. organizations, IT decision makers report spending more on software infrastructure than other solutions, followed by wired and wireless networking and hardware upgrade projects. Over the next 12 months, software infrastructure initiatives will account for the largest portion of IT spending, with hardware and networking spending positioned as the #2 and #3 greatest allocations. Within the hardware category, nearly half of project spending is on servers with the greatest emphasis on server upgrades. This level of spending is expected to remain around 45% through the next 12 months.

CNET Network's IT Priorities Research Program surveys technology decision makers in medium and large organizations each month and asks them about their current and planned IT spending. The study is designed to provide a near-real-time snapshot of business technology project priorities over two timeframes: now and 12 months in the future. CNET has been publishing these data since November 2002.

whitepaper HP Case Study: EADS2006-06-02 01:00:29 Hewlett-Packard
  EADS is Europe's largest aeronautical company and the second largest in the world. It was formed in July 2000 through the merger of Germany's DaimlerChrysler Aerospace AG, France's Aerospatiale Matra and Spain's CASA, and specialises in civil and military aviation, defence systems and services. In order to optimise purchasing terms and conditions across the EADS corporation, Corporate Sourcing started constructing an electronic catalogue platform.

The system is based on a catalogue management system, developed by Poet Supplier Solutions and is installed on HP ProLiant servers.

  The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a set of security practices set forth by American Express, Discover, Japan Central Bank, MasterCard, and VISA to protect cardholder data. It is an industry-established policy requiring compliance by all merchants and service providers that store, process, or transmit cardholder data.

whitepaper Understanding IT Buyer Behaviour: Sales Process Engineering2006-05-27 01:00:26 Sales Process Engineering
  The White Once enables IT vendors to understand the buying behaviour that motivates and mobilises the buying process for a particular product or service category. Vendors can then map this to a scaleable sales process that will match customer needs exactly. This 'roadmap' will enable vendors to align their sales and marketing teams and activity with an agreed, verified understanding of 'what works'. It is increasingly the primary methodology to ensure maximum transparency, integration and ROI for an IT vendor company's sales process.   
whitepaper May 2006 IT Priorities Report2006-09-26 08:23:35 TechRepublic
  In the May 2006 survey of IT priorities of medium to large U.S. organizations, IT decision makers report spending more on hardware than other solutions, followed by software and wired and wireless networking projects. Among IT project plans 12 months from now, software infrastructure initiatives will account for the largest portion of IT spending, with hardware and networking spending positioned as the #2 and #3 greatest allocations. Security ranks #4 in planned spending, but traditionally security is the most volatile IT budget item, with actual investments shifting abruptly to tackle new outbreaks as needed. We'll be monitoring the variance between the proportion of planned security spending versus actual over the next few months.

CNET Network's IT Priorities Research Program surveys technology decision makers in medium and large organizations each month and asks them about their current and planned IT spending. The study is designed to provide a near-real-time snapshot of business technology project priorities over two timeframes: now and 12 months in the future.
