The August 2010 report 'Gartner Magic Quadrant for Web Content Management' has positioned SDL as a leader in Web Content Management (WCM). See how Web Content Management vendors were rated based on "Completeness of vision" and "Ability to Execute".

Vendors in this market have been challenged in their attempts to gain market visibility and awareness for their products and for the benefits they can provide compared with just throwing more hardware at the problem.

Over the past year, Microsoft and associated research companies have interviewed hundreds of technology professionals at organizations around the world that are either preparing to deploy or in the midst of deploying unified communications (UC). From these discussions, a picture has emerged of the far-reaching impact of UC on the structure of the IT organization, how this affects evaluation and preparation for deployment, and how the resulting changes in IT's structure may be leveraged to promote increased efficiency, collaboration, and employee satisfaction.

IT organizations are under extreme pressure as growing management needs conflict with shrinking resources. To close the manageability gap and ensure optimal IT performance, IT organizations must eliminate the labor intensive and costly manual tasks.

IT budgets are shrinking even as the reliance on data availability grows. One area where IT departments can realize significant savings is in storage. Download this paper to get a breakdown of the actual costs paid for storage when real-world utilization and performance numbers, in addition to costs, are surfaced.

Storage virtualization has been a positive evolutionary step in the data center, driving the consolidation of power and floorspace to maximize utilization and power savings. With all of the benefits of virtualization comes a wholesale change in the way that you must plan for implementation, management, backup, and recovery.

The business value of data varies widely and changes over time; therefore, storage systems should flex to accommodate those changes.

To mine raw data and extract crucial insights, business decision‐makers need fast and comprehensive access to all the information stored across their enterprise, regardless of its format or location. Furthermore, that data must be organized, analyzed and visualized in ways that permit easy interpretation of market opportunities growth, shifts and trends and the business‐process changes required to address them. Gaining a true perspective on an organization’s customer base, market area or potential expansion can be a challenging task, because companies use so many relational databases, data warehouse technologies, mapping systems and ad hoc data repositories to gather and house information for a wide variety of specialized purposes.

We work in an ever-changing landscape of competitors, market forces, customer relationships, partner alliances, political and regulatory pressures, and global climate effects. The common mechanism for coping effectively with change is to refer to canned reports and dashboards, dump reporting data into a spreadsheet and look for answers to today's questions. All too often, we have to rely on estimates rather than models, and gut feel rather than data, because we can't get answers in a timely fashion. Yet we know that the answers lie hidden in the morass of corporate data.

For over a decade, IT organizations have been plagued by high data warehousing costs, with millions of dollars spent annually on specialized, high-end hardware and DBA personnel overhead for performance tuning. The root cause: using data warehouse database management (DBMS) software, like Oracle and SQLServer that were designed 20-30 years ago to handle write-intensive OLTP workloads, not query-intensive analytic workloads.

Revenue assurance analysts at a top-tier US-based carrier studied this every day. Primarily focused on detecting fraud, revenue sharing contract violations and incomplete revenue collections, they had the need to query and analyze call detail record (CDR) databases that grow by millions of new CDRs every day.
