SAP - ITOA Real Time Insight

Almost everything in the data center generates log files, it’s not uncommon to see volumes of 100 million events per day. Those events are generated by servers, routers, applications, virtual machines, databases, and operating systems, among others. With this volume of data, it’s hard to pinpoint problems and correlate them across devices in real-time to address problems quickly. When an outage or performance issue does occur, teams work in parallel attempting to address the problem. Because teams typically use separate monitoring tools, it’s difficult to correlate events and quickly identify the root cause—and harder to predict issues before they impact users. Michael Lippis interviews John Schitka to gain SAP's perspective on leveraging IT Operations Analytics for Real Time Insight. John a Senior Director of Big Data Solutions Marketing for SAP.

SAP Business Analytics

Decision makers are swimming in information, yet they still struggle to really “know” their business. They cannot access relevant data easily, navigate it quickly, organize it meaningfully, or make decisions with any degree of certainty. Business analytics should enable everyone within an organization to achieve remarkable results. How? By enabling users to know every aspect of their business — relative to them; by enabling decisions to be made with confidence — balancing risk and opportunity; and by enabling users to act boldly — responding to events as they unfold, taking coordinated action, and learning and improving over time. As you look to purchase an analytics solution, consider whether it will do what you need and whether there are avoidable hidden costs. We interview James Fisher to gain SAP's perspective on Business Analytics. James is the VP of solution marketing, analytics at SAP.

Application Fluent Unified Access

A decade ago, mobility for enterprise networks was viewed as a convenience, a way to provide those employees fortunate enough to have laptops with some ability to move about their workplace while remaining connected to the network. Today, however, wireless local-area networks (WLANs) have become mission-critical and enabling mobility has become vital to the enterprise. And with good reason: studies have shown that mobility-enabled workers are more productive, help to increase profits and are happier employees. What’s more, the definition of what constitutes a workplace has undergone a shift in recent years, as working from home becomes more common to both give employees more flexibility and to reduce corporate space requirements and their associated expense. The definition of enterprise mobility has also grown to reflect its importance. Beyond creating campus-wide Wi-Fi access, enabling a mobile enterprise means providing ubiquitous connectivity and simple access: employees – or any user in the network – are provided with quality access to whatever applications they need, anywhere, anytime, on any device. Outlook Series' Michael Lippis interviews Heitor Faroni and Joseph Raccuglia to gain Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise's perspective on Unified Access. Heitor is a Director of Solutions Marketing and Joseph is a Senior Director of Solutions Marketing both are at the Network Division of Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise.

Customer Intimacy

A wealth of data is in applications for order management, accounting and sales force automation. That data contains valuable customer insights, and more CIOs are looking to predictive analytics to uncover those insights. Furthermore, you cannot rely on selling and marketing to mass audiences the way you have in the past. Customers are asserting their individuality, and they want to engage in personal relationships that extend beyond the point of purchase, however and wherever those interactions occur. Today, a lot of digital noise is outside your organizations control. Few of those conversations are useful, but a few voices might determine the success or failure of your marketing campaigns, product development or operational efficiencies. We interview Erick Brethenoux to gain SPSS an IBM Company's perspective on customer intimacy. Erick is the VP of Corporate Development for SPSS an IBM Company.

Business Rules Management

Making consistent decisions across your organization is a complex task. Usually for any one decision, multiple data elements must be evaluated. In addition, decision making must respond to constantly changing conditions—external factors such as economic changes, competition, or regulations, as well as internally driven changes such as new product launches or new strategies. Without a sophisticated system for managing rules, it’s highly improbable for an organization to make decisions that avoid losses or drive maximum revenue. When selecting a BRMS look for technologies that help IT and business experts work together to develop intelligible, effective rules; and to quickly deploy new process applications with immediate support from the rules system. We interview Don Griest to gain FICO's perspective on BRMS. Don Griest is Sr. Director, Product Management with FICO.
