Automating repetitive Data Center Operations into best practices makes response times faster, more reliable, and less costly. Learn how to extend your current IT systems to do more of the routine work, freeing up IT staff for higher-value projects.

This paper examines the nature, cause and impact of data quality problems in typical IT system implementations.  It argues that the extent and impact of poor data quality is largely misunderstood and often ignored.

This white paper describes how the Clarabridge Content Mining Platform avoids the pitfalls of previous approaches to unstructured analysis, and capitalizes on lessons learned from solving similar problems in the structured domain.

Sensitive documents, files and intellectual property are extracted from a central repository such as a database, records management system, or document management system to complete daily tasks, however, extracting this information can lead to a security breach.  Avalere provides the tools you need to control the proliferation of sensitive information throughout your organization.

Laptops, USB devices, and other endpoint devices foster a flexible and more productive work environment, yet also increase a company's exposure to the loss or theft of critical information. Avalere inventories, protects, and controls your company’s laptop, desktop or removable storage device information to mitigate risks of lost or stolen equipment.

This paper includes a comparison between using RFID and barcoding for asset management as well as real-life examples of how RFID technology is being used by enterprising organizations today to gain significant time savings and enable better asset and maintenance management.

Today's competitive, agile business demands anytime/anywhere connectivity and access to real time data. Outdated technology, security concerns and compliance requirements are forcing companies throughout industries to consider migrating to advanced wireless systems for supply chain operations.

Institutional (academic) libraries and public libraries face growing challenges in managing the assets of their collection and maintaining or improving service levels to patrons. Learn how libraries can leverage RFID solutions to save time, reduce cost, and increase productivity.

Barcodes, magnetic stripes, and proximity readers all rely on the user to either make contact or place the badge very close to the reader. In addition, bar codes can only be read one at a time and the respective embedded information cannot be updated. Find out how an RFID access control system can provide an easy and efficient solution.

The applications for the healthcare industry are multiple, including asset tracking, patient tracking, staff location, baby monitoring, blood bank distribution, and more. Learn more in this overview by GAO RFID.

Efficient fleet maintenance is absolutely necessary given today's high equipment costs and climbing operating expenses. Whether you are involved in LTL, cartage, courier, direct store delivery (DSD) or field service operations, an integrated and cost effective fleet maintenance program is a prerequisite to increased profitability.

Railroads face a complex set of economic and operational challenges like competitive freight pricing, asset utilization and competition with trucking, capital expenditure levels, industry consolidation and debt management. Learn how RFID technology can help railroad professionals address these challenges.

Once a business clears the financial hurdle and begins to plan their data protection strategy the choices can appear daunting. Do they select tape or disk? Apply differential or incremental backups? How much will a new system cost and how much time will it take to implement? What data should be included in the backup? This article attempts to address these concerns.

ROI is based on the analysis of differential cash flows. In the case of remote data acquisition and aggregation systems for fuel tank operators, it is based on calculating the cost of acquiring and aggregating the data manually and compared to the total cost of owning, maintaining and operating an automated data acquisition and aggregation system.

Digital signatures aren't enough. This paper posits that data integrity needs to be redefined within the context of a time-sensitive mechanism.

The ProofMark software solution is a broadly applicable system that operates on a computer, server, network, system, or infrastructure. This system utilizes public-key cryptography to create an irrefutable record of the time-existence and exact composition of any digital data. This document, the ProofMark System Concepts, Architecture, and Planning Guide, provides you with a broad technical overview of the ProofMark system.

High-profile data losses are grabbing more and more headlines every week, threatening the reputation, customer base, and overall bottom line of organization whose systems have been exploited. In addition to this lurking threat, now organizations face potential fines for PCI non-compliance from VISA, beginning in September 2007. Ecora Software will provide you with the information you need to proactively address PCI compliance and, of equal importance, minimize your risk of a costly data breach.

Learn how to adhere to the PCI security standard by automating regulatory compliance and best practices reporting typically used to identify and validate IT configuration changes throughout operating systems, database management systems, applications and network devices.

Achieve and Maintain Compliance with PCI Data Security Standard – Part 4. Deep dive into PCI DSS requirements 10-12. Learn how to adhere to the PCI security standard by automating regulatory compliance and best practices reporting typically used to identify and validate IT configuration changes throughout operating systems, database management systems, applications and network devices.

Deep dive into PCI DSS requirements 5-9. Learn how to adhere to the PCI security standard by automating regulatory compliance and best practices reporting typically used to identify and validate IT configuration changes throughout operating systems, database management systems, applications and network devices.

Deep dive into the first 4 PCI DSS requirements. Learn how to adhere to the PCI security standard by automating regulatory compliance and best practices reporting typically used to identify and validate IT configuration changes throughout operating systems, database management systems, applications and network devices.

Learn about agent-based versus agentless monitoring approaches to enterprise management, and how a combination of data collection technologies can realize the benefits of both.

In 2000, ICEE began to scrutinize the inefficiencies they found in the ICEE machine repair process. With so many field technicians servicing so many machines, streamlining the process would be no small feat. The company's existing paper-based system required that field technicians fill out paper work orders at the end of each job. One copy was given to the customer, one was filed at the regional office, and another was sent to headquarters in Ontario. This left a long, inefficient and error-prone paper trail.

More than ever before, IT managers need to secure equipment and facilities against a variety of intrusive conditions that could cripple critical operations, resulting in system malfunctions, loss of data or intellectual property, damage to mission critical hardware or even theft of valuable physical assets. Such conditions often include environmental events, failure of air conditioning systems, power outages, and untoward human actions.

Chartered in 1973, San Francisco-based Spectrum Federal Credit Union serves over 12,000 members. When the issue arose on how to protect their members’ personal data residing on backup tapes, Spectrum FCU took no chances – they and their Techical Advisory Board made the decision to encrypt this important information with the help of NeoScale Systems, an undisputed leader in this emerging market.
