whitepaper Enterprise-Proven On-Demand Business Portal Provider, EnterConnect, Delivers SaaS to Their Customers and Marketplace Partners2008-08-01 Oracle
  RedChip Companies was seeking a robust, online content, document and project management system to support their rapidly expanding research and reporting business. The EnterConnect SaaS model appealed to RedChip because they would not incur large implementation costs. Limited IT resources, already consumed with running internal business systems and email, also supported a SaaS model. RedChip saw that EnterConnect, built on Oracle Fusion Middleware, could be quickly and easily configured to present them with familiar views of their information, as well as the new version control, document management and project collaboration capabilities they needed.

whitepaper NH Hoteles Reduces Response Times to Consultations on Room Availability and Prices to Five Seconds2008-07-01 Oracle
  NH Hoteles wanted to enable multi-channel, transparent management of reservations, including availability and pricing and reduce online response times for consultations on room availability and reservations. The challenge was to comply with service level agreements with travel agencies and provide coverage to online travel agencies, which have doubled their business volume with NH Hoteles over the last three years. As a solution NH Hoteles centralized applications with the implementation of Oracle BPEL Process Manager and Oracle Business Activity Monitoring solutions, providing a platform that facilitates integration and interoperability with clients' systems and gained the ability to manage more than 3 million transactions per month, including those from 20,000 internal providers.

whitepaper China Southern Airlines Builds Database Archiving Platform in Three Months Using SOA Technologies2008-06-01 Oracle
  China Southern Airlines wanted to develop an archiving platform to store data generated by the electronic ticketing and the electronic customer systems and integrate the platform with the ticketing and customer systems and move data between individual systems with complex interdependencies that change with new business requirements. The challenge was to ensure the platform can efficiently process large amounts of data every week without affecting production systems and enable any process changes to be quickly implemented. China Southern Airlines cut development time from a projected five months to three by using tools from Oracle SOA Suite and used Oracle BPEL Process Manager 10g to establish, deploy, and manage data archiving workflows for the platform.

whitepaper Acciaierie Venete S.p.A. Implements Flexible and Scalable Infrastructure Software Solution2008-06-01 Oracle
  Acciaierie Venete wanted to streamline and simplify IT management and overcome difficulties integrating a number of applications from different environments. The challenge was to obtain a homogeneous, flexible system that can adapt quickly to changing market conditions and evolving company strategy and open a new plant and integrate its IT environment with that of the company's other facilities. Acciaierie Venete achieved the integration of applications in various systems to centralize management and make it compatible with the central administrative organization as well as used BPEL as an interface engine for integration of logistics management in the payables cycle and production management, obtaining complete management of administration even for complex reception tasks such as arrival of scrap.

whitepaper Develop and Deploy Multitenant Web-Delivered Solutions Using IBM Middleware, Part 1: Challenges and Architectural Patterns2008-04-24 IBM
  Web-delivered solutions that follow a Software as a Service (SaaS) delivery model - where customers subscribe to software and access it from a service provider site rather than get licenses and have software installed on their premises - can offer compelling business value for businesses of any size. Solution developers who develop new solutions or transform existing solutions and service providers who deploy these solutions are faced with several technical challenges. One example is multitenancy, where a single instance of the software, running on a service provider's premises, serves multiple organizations. This paper series describes different patterns to address these challenges, often using Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) techniques. Also learn how IBM software products can help one build and deploy scalable, configurable, and cost-effective multitenant Web-delivered solutions.

whitepaper Verification of Data Intensive High Performance Computing Middleware2008-04-13 University of Illinois
  Interactive exploration of terabyte and petabyte datasets has been identified as a critical enabler for scientists to glean new insights in a variety of disciplines, such as biomedical imaging, geosciences and high-energy physics. Practically, these large-scale datasets must flow among a Grid of instruments, physical storage devices, visualization displays, and computational clusters. These applications have a real need for tens to hundreds of gigabits-per-second of bandwidth and deterministic QoS that are best satisfied by interconnecting Grid resources with dedicated networks dynamically created by concatenating optical lightpaths (lambdas).

whitepaper Closing the Dependability Gap: Converging Software Engineering With Middleware2008-04-07 Vienna University of Technology
  The inertness of today's software systems turns innovative applications into an obstacle rather than an enabler and results in dependability degradation during the systems' lifetime. Even more so, heterogeneity, scale, and dynamics open up what Laprie called the dependability gap. This paper identifies the need to converge methods from software engineering with traditional middleware and dependable systems research to close the dependability gap. In particular, the paper suggest a nested control loop approach, where the inner loop addresses short-term changes autonomously, while the outer loop addresses long-term evolution by run-time software engineering.

whitepaper Extreme Business Warehousing 60 TeraBytes and Beyond2008-04-01 IBM
  This paper covers the design criteria and implementation of an SAP NetWeaver Business Intelligence (SAP BI) system of extreme size, under massive online load, and with very demanding availability requirements. The proof of concept documented in this paper is based on real customer data, business processes and business needs. It shows that how the application, infrastructure and middleware can scale-out to meet the most extreme business requirements, therefore the name "Extreme Business Warehousing".

whitepaper 2008 Annual Google Communications Intelligence Report2008-02-01 Google
  At the end of 2007, Google conducted an annual online survey of messaging professionals. The survey highlighted the major communications trends that messaging professionals faced over the past year and provided insight into the pressing issues they expect to confront in the coming year, including:
  • The number of electronic messages increased in 2007, with spam still a huge issue for most organizations.
  • IT personnel--not end-users--are responsible for ensuring security and compliance.
  • Serious challenges that negatively impact productivity stand in the way of reaching security and compliance goals.
  • Communications security and compliance solutions based on the software-as-a-service (SaaS) model can address these productivity issues.
  • In the year ahead, Google expects the number of business communications security threats to stabilize but their complexity to increase dramatically.
Download this insightful report to learn more about business communications priorities, industry expectations, and best practices for communications security and compliance in 2008.
