WHITE PAPERS

  • BPM, SOA and Web 2.0: Business transformation or train wreck?
    Organisations must not only promote change from within, but they must also be agile enough to quickly adapt to evolving markets, policies, regulations, and business models. Fortunately, the convergence of a trio of technologies and business practices—business process management (BPM), service-oriented architecture (SOA), and Web 2.0—is providing a solution.
  • The Social Enterprise: Using Social Enterprise Applications to Enable the Next Wave of Knowledge Worker Productivity
    On the face of it, social software seems an unlikely example of enterprise collaboration. Aren’t social networks a fad? What does sharing photos or connecting with college buddies have to do with getting work done?
  • Unified Threat Management
    This white paper looks at the emergence and inadequacies of unified threat management (UTM) products, and introduces a new solution from Check Point.
  • Delivering an Effective Backup and Recovery Service
    Rapid data growth and the need for greater data availability place a demand on organisations to provide an effective backup and recovery service. Yet businesses have often been satisfied with just minimal provision. It is only when a disaster arrives that it becomes clear how inadequate this approach is. This white paper helps organisations make the right decisions about how best to prevent data loss and potentially catastrophic IT failure.
  • Oracle Universal Content Management
    The key features and benefits to an enterprise of Oracle's Universal Content Management solution. Easily manage content through the whole lifecycle, streamline business processes and improve customer service and relationships.
