Company Efficiently Delivers Advanced Forecasts With Scalable Software-Plus-Services | 2009-11-01 | Microsoft |
| Lokad is a software development company that delivers sales, demand, and call volume forecasts for more than 300 customers - from one-person eCommerce companies to multinational retailers. To improve its forecasting capabilities, the company developed advanced forecasting tools and models. However, the more powerful forecasting models required significantly more computing resources than the company had available. Lokad decided to implement its software-plus-services forecasting application on the Windows Azure platform - a quick, efficient process.

Deliver LAN-Like Performance for VMware View to Branch Offices and Mobile Users | 2009-10-28 | VMware |
| Desktop virtualization dramatically simplifies IT infrastructure, provides greater enterprise data security and enables cost effective IT utilization and management. While some desktop virtualization products attempt to use communication protocols designed for Wide Area Networks (WANs), even these products run into two fundamental challenges when trying to support users located across the globe: bandwidth constraints often limit the amount of data or the number of users, and latency prevents users applications from delivering LAN-like performance. The presenter will detail how WAN optimization can impact and improve the performance of VMware View and other products such as ThinApp.

The Creative Business Analyst Part 3 - Making Better Decisions | 2009-10-27 | IRM Training |
| This final paper of the series it looks at decision making techniques - how to select the best idea from the many come up with - and how to justify recommendation to client, manager and peers. Unfortunately the word solution means different things to different people - to a designer it describes the architecture of the application. To a developer it defines how the application will be coded and to a project manager, how the application will be built and implemented. However, to the client (and business analyst) it means what the system will do.

The GPS Connection | 2009-10-27 | Significant Digits |
| SDI's GPS Connection is offered in several different packages of varying price and plotting accuracy. The levels, starting from least accurate to most accurate are, plotting by 911 addresses, low performance GPS gathering, Trimble high performance GPS and Trimble high performance GPS with post processing. The cheapest and least accurate way to plot points is 911 address plotting. Microsoft MapPoint has a database of coordinates for 911 addresses. These are easy to obtain, but the downsides are that not all addresses have an associated GPS coordinate. They are not very accurate and represent a general location rather than a specific point.
