The Changing Face of Application Lifecycle Management 2006-09-13 01:00:18 SERENA Software

IT organizations spend billions of dollars a year on development life-cycle tools that don't play well together. The result? For most shops, application life-cycle management (ALM) -- the coordination of development life-cycle activities -- is still largely a manual process. Today's ALM suites don't offer much support for ALM beyond what can be accomplished through brittle tool-to-tool integrations. But tomorrow's ALM platforms will do much better by providing common services to practitioner tools. These solutions will be easier to implement, maintain, and employ. And at the end of the day, they'll enable development organizations to build better software.

Computacenter Case Study: South Wales Fire & Rescue Service 2006-08-10 01:00:12 Computacenter

When South Wales Fire & Rescue Service embarked on the roll-out of sophisticated in-cab computer systems, it opted to also include a wireless data link to ensure firefighters could access real-time information held at its headquarters. Thanks to the project, which was implemented with help from Computacenter, the brigade is now able to provide firefighters with wireless access to potentially life-saving information, which ranges from building plans to car designs and chemical properties.

IP Telephony Boosts Contact Centre Efficiency 2006-08-10 01:00:12 Computacenter

The General Register Office for England and Wales (GRO) manages the registration of all births, marriages and deaths by the local registration service. Its dedicated contact centre handles 20,000 inbound queries a month, many of which concern certificate orders. The GRO decided to deploy an IP-based telephony system with contact centre functionality that would not only improve its call management capabilities, but also future-proof the contact centre's functionality for voice-activated directories, automated order tracking, and multi-media queuing for faxes, emails and web site interaction. Following a competitive tender, the GRO selected Computacenter, in partnership with specialist software reseller IDL-Mettoni, to deliver the new IP telephony system, which is based on Cisco technology.

Mindspeed Technologies Turns to MTI Technology for Complete Data Storage Solution 2006-08-10 01:00:12 MTI Technology

Mindspeed Technologies designs, develops and sells semiconductor solutions for communications applications in enterprise, access, metropolitan and wide area networks. Not only does Mindspeed currently have an enhanced data storage system in place, but also the company's overall expenditure on data storage solutions has decreased considerably. Since MTI was already respected by the Mindspeed IT community, they felt confident that MTI would offer the best advice on storage solutions, provide top level support, and offer extremely competitive pricing.

Financial Services Company Relies on MTI for Cost-Effective, High Performance, Tiered Storage Solution 2006-08-10 01:00:12 MTI Technology

A Specialized Applications Service Provider (SASP) for the financial services industry turned to MTI to implement a high performance, highly redundant storage solution that could be leveraged to replicate data between the company's primary and remote data centers located 45 miles apart. The solution had to support their mission critical ticker database application, which tracks stock market transactions over the course of each trading day. In addition, the company was faced with growing transaction rates from their customer base that were beyond the capabilities of their current storage system. They needed to implement a solution that could scale to meet their capacity, performance and disaster recovery needs, while providing support for increased transaction rates in the future.

Computacenter Case Study: Open Business Exchange 2006-08-10 01:00:12 Computacenter

As with many other business functions, the Internet provides organisations with the opportunity to both streamline the invoicing process and cut their overheads. Open Business Exchange (OBE) has launched an electronic invoicing service (OB10OB10) that will provide just this streamlining for suppliers and buyers, whatever their size or accounting package. The IT infrastructure supporting the online service is crucial to OBE's success, which is where Computacenter's integration and implementation expertise came into play. In addition to helping design and architect the infrastructure, Computacenter also has overall responsibility for the application layer through its comprehensive Managed Availability service.

Computacenter Case Study: Nationwide Building Society 2006-08-10 01:00:12 Computacenter

Not surprisingly for a leading financial institution, the Nationwide invests substantially in information technology and employs a large and highly skilled IT staff. Towards the end of 1996 the Society decided to refresh its existing server architecture that operates the NT-based infrastructure of its head office operations in Swindon and Northampton. Nationwide already knew Computacenter. Computacenter had worked with Nationwide on a number of projects over a period of years. The first evaluation project carried out by Computacenter with Nationwide covered the Society's increasing demand for mobile computing.

Computacenter Case Study: Credit Suisse 2006-08-10 01:00:12 Computacenter

Banking, like all large enterprises, faces a continual challenge - how to implement complex infrastructures that can cope with the relentless tide of data that needs to be stored, but without risking huge sums of money in the process. Credit Suisse First Boston (CSFB) came to terms with this issue when it set out to implement a storage solution to serve data to its equities division, and mirror this data to a disaster recovery center. CSFB decided that Storage Area Network (SAN) would offer the required levels of business continuity, so worked with Computacenter and their partners Sun, EMC, HDS and Compaq to define and evaluate a solution.
