White Papers
Search-Based Applications: A New Paradigm for Enterprise Information Discovery and Access
Nearly every enterprise has made significant investments in core systems that run the back office, the product life cycle, the supply chain, logistics, sales, and customer service to name a few. Over the years, these systems have grown organically as business processes have changed and the enterprise has adapted to new market realities. In the midst of all of this systems growth and the resulting avalanche of information, several key touchstones have been lost. For instance, which system could completely reveal a customer’s relationship with the enterprise?

Flexera: Maximize Software Cost Savings by License Reharvesting, Recycling & Applying Product Use Rights
Software asset management (SAM) is a complex process that enables organizations to gain control of their software estate from both a license compliance and financial standpoint. In many organizations, SAM represents one of the few remaining ways that substantial IT savings can be realized. McKinsey and Sand-Hill Group estimate that 30% or more of IT budgets are consumed by software license and maintenance costs. By optimizing the SAM process, organizations can maximize software utilization, reduce the risk of non-compliance (audits, fees, penalties), and reduce overall IT costs by as much as 5 to 10% per year.

Qlik Technologies: BI for the People – And the 10 Pitfalls to Avoid in the New Decade
Business Intelligence (BI) emerged twenty years ago as a tool for decision-making. Originally used exclusively by analysts, power users, and board-level executives, it has slowly evolved into a more democratic medium as organizations have come to realize that decision-makers at all levels and in all departments need access to timely, relevant information. Today, there is an increasingly strong move towards the ‘consumerization’ of BI as people are demanding the same speed and ease-of-use from their workplace software as ubiquitous applications have delivered in their personal life.
