<p>This executive brief highlights the data management challenges of a California-based organization faced and illustrates how their chosen solution resulted in cost savings and in better overall use of IT resources – an exceeded all expectations.</p> 

This case study illustrates how Sun World International, a mid-sized grower in California, shifted its competitive strategy to capitalize on analytics and gain real-time insight into the competitive market. Learn how it gained a 5% reduction in harvesting costs, a 20% reduction in fuel usage and an eight-fold increase in profit per acre. 

Read this white paper to learn the appropriate metrics to use when analyzing workforce turnover and retention data, how to define them, and how to increase their value. 

This white paper provides high level definitions, opportunity identification, and future potentials for: Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), Software as a Service (SaaS), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Anytime, Anywhere Availability, Mobile Devices, Web 2.0, and Report Cards or Balanced Scorecards as a Business Intelligence (BI) capability. 

This Technical Standard provides a taxonomy describing the factors that drive risk – their definitions and relationships. This Technical Standard is not a reference or tutorial on how to assess or analyze risk, as there are many such references already available. 

Many IT administrators believe the cloud is staged to offer adaptable, flexible and scalable resources at a fraction of the cost. But with varying definitions, strategies and expectations, the cloud is still clearly in the developmental stages. Take a look at this white paper for an expert analysis of cloud computing. 

This resource divides the data center management tools into four distinct subsets and provides definitions and examples of each. Learn how you can determine which physical infrastructure management tools are needed to operate a data center. 

More IT pros are looking to introduce a cloud infrastructure to their organization. However, as the definition and its potential benefits have morphed over time, knowing exactly what this technology offers is not always easy. This white paper highlights cloud computing to help you better evaluate this technology. Learn more here. 

Many organizations struggle to carry on the processes of multiple large data integration and SOA projects for reconstructing data flows, ontologies, transformations and more. This paper addresses the obstacles faced when attempting data projects and the strategic plans for overcoming these issues to attain a higher ROI and reduce overall cost. 

The definition of a mobile payment is often open to interpretation and can differ from source to source.    Juniper Research has a simple definition of a mobile payment as “payment for goods or services with a mobile device such as a phone, Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), or other such device.” 

Juniper Research defines mobile banking as  “the provision of banking services to customers on their mobile devices”: specifically we mean in the vast majority of instances “the operation of bank current and deposit or savings accounts”. 

<p>This white paper presents an effective way to establish a requirements definition (RD) process that reduces the need to rework requirements and speeds development time. Read more inside to learn how you can get started now.</p>
