Leveraging electronic data & workflow to optimize financial processes
Does
anyone remember the paperless office? Every few years we hear some
expert claim that we're so automated that we've rendered paper
obsolete.
Now, look around your desk and office. Are we there
yet? The better question would be, why aren't we there yet? What's
hindering our path to electronic data and why are we hindering our
businesses by not taking that path?
In this program, leading
experts from Gartner and ReadSoft explore the benefits and challenges
of electronic data and workflow. How can your company become more
efficient and profitable with more workflow automation?
They'll
answer that question and, more importantly, lay out the best practices
and solutions you need to get the most out of your electronic data and

Better Information Governance can improve your business results
Information
is crucial to the success of any organization. However, too much data
can be overwhelming and lead to poor decision-making. Further, as
organizations face an ever-growing wave of digital data, they need to
analyze that information and make timely decisions to achieve their
business goals.
For more and more organizations, the key is
information governance. But what is information governance, and how can
an organization get started on this path, and what changes lie ahead?
In this program, leading experts from featured analyst firm, Gartner
Inc. and IBM examine the assignment of roles and responsibilities and
accountabilities around data and how you can use information governance
to your advantage.

De-risking Applications in your Virtualized Infrastructure
De-risking critical applications, especially in a virtualized data center, is now a top priority for most enterprise IT departments. Nearly all Global 200 enterprise data centers rely on fiber channel SANs for their storage infrastructure. The move to 8-gigabit and eventually 16-gigabit fiber channel networks results in faster throughput but also less resiliency than 2 and 4-gigabit. This can easily impact service levels. Outages and slowdowns need to be quickly resolved or, better still, avoided altogether. So how do you ensure performance and uptime while increasing the use of new, faster technologies, together with server and storage virtualization? How do you proactively monitor your SAN traffic to be able to see that all is well or is potentially about to negatively affect your users? In this webcast, Gartner storage management expert Valdis Filks and Virtual Instruments’ Vice President of Solutions Consulting, John Gentry, discuss how real-time I/O monitoring solutions are required to guarantee application performance and availability SLAs

The Evolution and Importance of Job Scheduling in the Modern Data Center
Automating job scheduling is a requirement in today’s complex data center environments. However, there are challenges that include the integration between IT applications, databases and file sharing platforms using only their native tools or using systems-based schedulers must be custom coded or left undone. Neither scenario is optimal: Custom integrations are time consuming, error prone and need constant maintenance and revisions. Leaving integrations undone forces the data center operations team to manually manage complex job scheduling workloads—increasing the risk for errors and expensive downtime. Listen to the experts as they examine the reasons behind the longevity of job schedulers, the role of adapters in the modern data center, how system events factor into enterprise scheduling, and what the future holds for job scheduling. They also offer advice on where you can turn to meet your enterprise job scheduling needs.

We
all must contend with ever-growing data from ever-expanding sources.
Social, location-aware, mobile and device data now have to be merged
with customer, product and third-party data. But as the data grows, it
runs into a basic law of physics – that as objects gain more mass, they
slow down. So how can enterprises get all of their data to be available
quicker and perform faster?
More and more enterprises are turning
to new analytic software to get ahead of this curve. In this program
featured analyst firm Gartner Inc. analyst Mark Beyer will address the
changing data landscape, the business opportunities and the issues
facing IT. Also, SAND Chief Operating Officer Mike Pilcher will look at
analytic platform column based databases and the solutions for
accelerating Oracle, IBM, Microsoft, SAP and SAS data warehouses.
