whitepaper IDG White Paper: How You Can Gain Business Advantage by Protecting Against Internal & External Threats2008-12-03 Oracle
  Recent years have seen increasing demands on midsize organizations to ensure compliance with changing legal, financial and governance regulations. As a result, they have come under pressure to improve flexibility in a bid to keep their reporting, data security, traceability and quality processes transparent and adapt them whenever necessary. As such, data protection is often viewed as an onerous 'tax' on IT budgets - a necessary evil to keep the regulators at bay. However this paper will argue that the performance, collaboration and governance of a midsize organization can improve immediately if its operations are based on a secure, consolidated and open information infrastructure.

This paper will also show that, with the right multi-level data protection against a wide range of threats, it is no longer necessary for midsize organizations to tolerate a little insecurity for the sake of platform consistency. Nor do they need to implement security protocols so rigidly that productivity falls.

Affordable data infrastructure solutions based on open standards that are inherently secure are now available to midsize organizations. Not only are they quick and easy to deploy, use and maintain, they are designed to meet the constraints of limited IT resources and budgets in the face of the current economic downturn.

whitepaper IDG White Paper: How to Respond Quickly to Changing Market Demands by Streamlining Processes2009-01-01 Oracle
  To thrive in today's competitive market midsize organizations need to be agile, responding quickly to changing market conditions and exceeding customers' demands. This implies flexibility in their underlying ICTCT infrastructure and business processes. But in the current economic climate, organizations of all sizes are under pressure to freeze expenditure and wring ever more return from existing assets. These two conditions need not be mutually exclusive: there are solutions that can release greater value from existing ICTCT investments while enabling an increase in efficiency across the organization.

This white paper shows that by improving process flexibility and transparency, not only can employees and systems adapt more easily to changing requirements, but existing infrastructure and applications can run more smoothly together for longer, thus raising ROROI. It will argue that enhanced visibility via centralized data management makes it easier for problems to be identified and resolved quickly. This helps increase uptime, and reduce maintenance costs.

Reducing the need for remedial maintenance also means skill resources are freed to focus on more strategic tasks, winning and retaining customers and increasing profit on revenue.
