JD Edwards EnterpriseOne CNC Managed Services - How an On-Demand Model Can Maximize Your CNC Investments 2007-10-15 SYSTIME

Supporting JD Edwards EnterpriseOne requires professional(s) that have the requisite experience to handle complex technological processes and are abreast of the latest system developments, understand the technology, have prior experience of working with the software, and have a consultative approach to troubleshooting issues. Finding individuals that demonstrate all these skillset traits is difficult as they are relatively scarce in the marketplace. If one is fortunate to find individuals with the requisite skills, typically a high price tag is associated with them. In some cases, after recruitment it may become evident that the individual's knowledge is limited by his prior exposure to a particular configuration, which may not necessarily match yours (i.e. with respect to software versions, modules used, security design, hardware and database platforms).

Five Ways to Reduce Costs for Batch Processing 2007-09-07 BMC Software

IT has largely been forced to use upgrades to ensure they meet batch commitments. While this sometimes delivers timely results, it can also significantly increase costs and further erode the IT cost of ownership position. Fortunately, infrastructure management technology provides alternatives to upgrades; alternatives that deliver more consistent and better batch performance, without the cost impact of repeated upgrades or the business impact of service failures. IT organizations should explore how one or more of these options can help drive down the cost of batch processing.

A Comprehensive, Best-Practices Approach to Business Resilience and Risk Mitigation 2007-09-01 IBM

A successful governance and risk mitigation strategy must operate at multiple levels with broad coverage. Risk mitigation plans at many organizations fall short simply because they are not comprehensive and fail to take into account the reach and range of all the risks that they actually face. Often this occurs when organizations only focus on specific areas of risk categories, only plan for certain types of risk or don't understand all the different areas in their organization that particular risks will impact. This white paper discusses common types of risk, the considerations for each and the steps organizations must take to develop an effective risk mitigation strategy.

Managing IT Risk 2007-07-24 Symantec

Think about it: One is more dependent than ever on IT to run the businesses, yet IT failures are commonplace. At the same time, the IT environments are becoming more complex, thus increasing the exposure to all forms of IT risk. The fact is, if one doesn't get IT risk under control, one puts the entire business at risk. That's why Symantec believes there has never been a better time for taking a comprehensive approach to IT Risk Management.
