This report explores recent Gartner findings...

best practices for achieving a successful accelerated implementation. Companies who implement enterprise resource planning (ERP) software tend to be intimidated by the time and cost of an implementation and seek to accelerate the go-live date. Without the right strategy and tools, implementation acceleration carries the risk of abbreviated end user training and change management, over-engineering of business processes, and other problems that can lead to higher over-all cost of...

for a master data management (MDM) implementation. Hear advice on developing MDM soft skills and learn how to measure the success of MDM implementations. Everyone, it seems, is talking about master data management (MDM). But to successfully cut through the marketing hype, choose an MDM vendor, prepare your IT environment and people, and successfully implement MDM -- you need action, not just words.

when you are considering a unified communications implementation. Unified Communications--everyone seems to see great value in its implementation, but how does the enterprise evaluate the move to unified communications (UC)? Since UC is sold on human productivity improvements, who within which parts of an organization will benefit?

This paper will focus on the OpenSSH implementation, which was initially developed as part of the OpenBSD project and is installed by default on most modern BSD and Linux-based operating systems, including Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Fedora. OpenSSH is an open-source implementation of the SSH (Secure SHell) protocols, originally developed in 1995 by Tatu Ylonen. SSH-based tools provide secure client/server connections and are usually designed to replace...

A successful SOA implementation relies as much on the flexibility of your network as it does the services which will be delivered on it. This white paper explores the unique challenges when implementing a service oriented architecture. A successful SOA implementation relies as much on the flexibility of your network as it does the services which will be delivered on it. Just as brittle, inflexible application integration technologies have been...

it comes with many challenges. Learn how a standardized ERP implementation will help you streamline and automate business processes during globalization. Enterprise resource planning (ERP) is a mission-critical component of any globalization strategy. The information made available through this component is key to providing visibility to key performance indicators (KPIs) and meeting corporate objectives. Yet, this is often overlooked because companies focus only on supply chain...

rate serves as the key performance indicator for their ESD implementation. This quantifiable metric is tied directly to important business benefits: Companies with high download completion rates are able to maximize the returns they see from their ESD implementation, while companies with low completion rates may suffer lost sales and lost customers as well as increased infrastructure and physical fulfillment costs.

model is the separation between the interface and the implementation. The invoker of a service need only (and should only) understand the interface; the implementation can evolve over time, without disturbing the clients of the service. Interestingly, the same interface can be offered by many implementations; several key benefits of service-orientation derive from this abstraction of the capability from how the capability is delivered.

This white paper presents the Microsoft...

Xen (pronounced ‘zen'), a popular virtualization implementation for Linux, uses a hostaware architecture, requiring special hypervisor command code actively running in both the host & all running virtualized guests. Each form of virtualization comes with pros & cons, but both work equally as well. Transparent systems are the most portable for the guest, but sacrifice speed & are typically designed around much heavier hypervisors; host-aware systems are faster &...

made about replication technologies assume a host-based implementation. Most often, host-based implementations replicate data by duplicating the I/O stream being written to the host-attached disk. Although features vary, the essential technology of duplicating the I/O stream does not vary much from product to product for host-based technologies first developed on Windows platforms. Vendors developing host-based replication on UNIX systems have offered block-based...

a Six Steps to Successful SOA Governance model. An SOA implementation which lacks governance is often unable to deliver expected SOA benefits, resulting in incompatible services, unreliable composite applications, inconsistent data and poor service reuse. Such implementations are subsequently unable to achieve business and SOA objectives, minimizing the projects overall rate of success.

This white paper details the best practices necessary for effective SOA...

Many organizations look SOA to provide greater business agility in the face of evolving business requirements. To achieve this agility architects implement a Services abstraction that loosely couples business Services from the underlying implementations. Many organizations look to Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) to provide greater business agility in the face of evolving business requirements and complex, heterogeneous information technology (IT...
