whitepaper Chubb Insurance Company of Europe: Protecting the Performance of Key Business Applications and Improving User Productivity2005-05-01 Juniper Networks
  Chubb Europe employees use a "Fat-client" application to access centrally hosted applications. With the volume of traffic increasing on the network, including bandwidth-intensive applications such as videoconferencing, Chubb realized it needed to increase network capacity and prevent the continued deterioration in performance of a key business application. Chubb deployed Juniper Networks application acceleration platforms to address poor application performance and network congestion. It is also in the process of rolling out a Quality of Service (QoS) provision using the Juniper Networks WX Framework to support additional application deployments such as Voice over IP (VoIP).

whitepaper Butler Manufacturing: Juniper Networks Saves Century-Old Firm Up to $90,000 Annually2005-05-01 Juniper Networks
  Butler Manufacturing Company is the world's leading producer of pre-engineered metal building systems and architectural products for the nonresidential construction market - and the largest source of related development and construction services. Butler had already deployed a QoS solution to effectively manage their limited WAN capacity. However, limited network capacity was causing response time delays, which required a network upgrade. Timing was critical to support an impending application rollout that would cut operating costs and improve responsiveness to customer requests. Increasing the capacity of their current network was estimated to cost Butler $90,000 in annual recurring WAN charges. Butler Manufacturing installed a pair of WX 50 application acceleration platforms between their Missouri and California sites to evaluate performance gains.

whitepaper Quality of Service and the Cisco Network0000-00-00 Cisco Systems
  The Cisco QoS story really started in 1995, when the Cisco IT team began implementing QoS policy link by link. Originally, administrators looked at traffic patterns case by case and applied QoS functions to individual routers. By 1999, the emergence of multimedia, and especially voice traffic, created a new urgency to control network traffic. The real-time nature of the traffic generated by these new, next-generation network applications made QoS even more critical. Because routers play a large role in the Cisco network's ability to deliver the end-to-end performance that each application needs, Cisco engineering created the Cisco Modular QoS Command-Line Interface (MQC).

whitepaper Expand Saves Rural Health Provider From Network Overload2004-11-03 Expand Networks
  GMAHS has WAN links between their biggest sites where most staff is located. Due to increasing numbers of users and amount of traffic, the network becomes almost unworkable at peak times, with staff waiting up to 10 minutes for Citrix ICA screen refresh. This made it very difficult for health professionals and administrators to do their jobs. GMAHS decided to pilot the Expand concept with a live evaluation. The trial demonstrated that Expand Accelerators could be easily integrated into the existing network and produce immediate improvements in network capacity. They also proved an ideal fit for GMAHS's Citrix and Office EP applications.

whitepaper VBA Processes Veteran Requests Online2001-01-10 Microsoft
  The Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA) is dedicated to increasing the quality of service it delivers to the country's veterans. One step along the way is to improve the process in which a veteran submits a claim for compensation and/or pension benefits. The VBA wants to increase veteran satisfaction and decrease the response time to get claims decided. The process can include multiple medical examinations for a veteran in order to evaluate the extent of his or her disabilities. To better serve veterans, the VBA has automated the exam request initiation and tracking process using Microsoft technologies in a Web-based application for those exam requests that go to an external health provider.

whitepaper UMTS Case Study0000-00-00 European Institute for Research and Strategic Studies in Telecommunications
  During the last few years we have seen a remarkable growth in mobile communication. As this trend continues the consumers will demand the same service spectrum and quality regardless of whether they are communicating from a wired or wireless terminal. IP will be the main bearer, and control and management functionalities as well as the mobility and security aspects will evolve towards deploying IP only technology. To fulfill the IP vision it is of crucial importance that the new access networks conform to the overall IP technology developments regarding QoS, security, management and mobility aspects. One of these new access networks is the UMTS (Universal Mobile Tele-communication System) access network.

whitepaper Banking on Six Sigma to Improve Service Quality0000-00-00 Proxima Technology
  Improving the quality of IT services continues to be on the agenda for IT managers and practitioners in the banking and finance industry. To help address this, organisations have turned to practices and quality methods that include IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL), and Six Sigma - combining them to measure the quality of service, and improve IT-dependent business processes by focusing on the customers. This case study is based on a large Australian financial institution, where the DMAIC model was used to improve service quality. To simplify, the study focuses on one business service - its online banking, and more specifically, the bank's e-credit card payment system.
