whitepaper Managing a growing threat: An Executive's Guide to Web Application Security2009-11-19 IBM
  Traditionally, companies have relied on perimeter defenses to keep their networks and data secure. Unfortunately, network firewalls and network vulnerability scanners can't defend against application-level attacks. Cyber-criminals are leveraging relatively simple application exploits to gain access to sensitive information for fun and profit. It's more important than ever to implement secure application strategies to effectively protect your business.

whitepaper Business Analytics and Optimization for the Intelligent Enterprise2009-11-09 IBM
  Based on our survey of 225 business leaders worldwide, we found that enterprises are operating with bigger blind spots and that they are making important decisions without access to the right information. They recognize that new analytics, coupled with advanced business process management capabilities, signal a major opportunity to close gaps and create new business advantage. Those who have the vision to apply new approaches are building intelligent enterprises and will be ready to outperform their peers.

whitepaper The Creative Business Analyst Part 3 - Making Better Decisions2009-10-27 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.

whitepaper Detailed Diagnosis in Enterprise Networks2009-08-21 Association for Computing Machinery
  By studying trouble tickets from small enterprise networks, the paper concludes that their operators need detailed fault diagnosis. That is, the diagnostic system should be able to diagnose not only generic faults (e.g., performance-related) but also application specific faults (e.g., error codes). It should also identify culprits at a fine granularity such as a process or firewall configuration. The paper build a system, called NetMedic, that enables detailed diagnosis by harnessing the rich information exposed by modern operating systems and applications. It formulates detailed diagnosis as an inference problem that more faithfully captures the behaviors and interactions of fine-grained network components such as processes. The primary challenge in solving this problem is inferring when a component might be impacting another.   
whitepaper Integrating Advanced Diagnostics Using the Smart Wireless THUM Adapter2009-07-01 Emerson Process Management
  The Smart Wireless THUM Adapter can unleash "Stranded" advance diagnostics in the Rosemount 3051S Advanced Diagnostics Pressure Transmitter. This technical paper will describe how to integrate those advanced diagnostics into a control host system using the Smart Wireless Gateway and Modbus communications protocol. The Smart Wireless THUM Adapter is an easy way to unleash otherwise 'Stranded' advanced diagnostics, such as statistical process analysis and data logging, to allow one to prevent abnormal situations and increase plant productivity.

whitepaper Troubleshooting Slow Networks with Wireshark2009-04-23 Global Knowledge
  Wireshark, the world's most popular open-source network analyzer, has become an essential tool to locate and diagnose the cause of network problems in the most efficient and cost-effective method possible. In March 2009, the Wireshark Certification Program was released to validate a candidate's knowledge of Wireshark functionality, TCP/IP troubleshooting, and network forensics/security. In this white paper, we examine how to use Wireshark to troubleshoot some of the top causes of poor network performance.

whitepaper Law Firm Cuts IT Costs by 90 Percent, Dismisses Server Worries with Online Services2009-03-01 Microsoft
  James C. Nolan Law Office specializes in immigration law. Owner James Nolan uses technology to deliver excellent customer service and achieve paperless efficiencies, but his technology costs were too high, and it was too difficult to connect part-time workers to his firm's systems. Nolan decided to eliminate his physical servers and subscribe to the Microsoft® Business Productivity Online Standard Suite. By moving messaging and collaboration software and data to the Internet "cloud," Nolan cut IT costs by 90 percent. Removing the physical servers also helped Nolan downsize his space and save on rent and electrical bills. Having Microsoft host documents eliminates worries about server downtime, and employees are more productive by accessing data online, anytime. Setting up part-time workers to access the firm systems now takes 15 minutes instead of two or three days.

whitepaper Analyze Requirements for Complex Software Systems in a New, Holistic Way: A Method to Resolve Conflicting Functional and Non-Functional Requirements2009-02-17 IBM
  This paper describes a method for systematically analyzing requirements of an IT system so one can create a component model that addresses the requirements in a holistic way. Explore sample requirements with uses cases and "Stress cases" to identify potential conflicts between functional and non-functional requirements. Stress cases must be addressed by defining an optimum solution that resolves the conflict. Learn how functional and non-functional requirements are opposing forces that are handled similarly to forces in civil engineering structures.
