Better decision making is more important when resources become restricted during a recession, so BI and analytics projects will still appeal to management. However, justifying large capital outlays for software will be challenging unless short-term benefits can be directly correlated with the investment. As more incremental projects are undertaken, it will be important to execute these projects within the long-term strategic plan of organization-wide decision management. Read an active Q&A session with Dan Vesset, IDC Program Vice President of Business Analytics on building a successful enterprise BI strategy. |
Return on Information: Adding to your ROI with Google Enterprise Search
As enterprises continue to produce, store, and make use of business content, volume grows and the investment needed to manage complexity increases. Yet much of this content remains difficult to manage and access. Fulcrum Research claims that 80% of enterprise content is unstructured (stored in things like Word docs and .pdfs, as opposed to structured data bases, CRM systems, etc.), and Forrester Research asserts that content volume is growing at a rate of 200% annually. At this rate, the volume of data stored in many organizations may measurably reach the point of “too much information” – in other words, where the levels of information actually interfere with productivity rather than contribute to it. For many organizations, it’s already happening – and it’s burdening IT resources and complicating what most knowledge workers need to do to find, and work with, business information. Read on…

Maximizing Website Return on Investment: The Crucial Role of High-Quality Search
Websites are among the most measurable marketing investments that a business or institution can make. They enable organizations to set quantifiable objectives that tie directly to overall marketing and communication goals. They also allow granular tracking of results to help ensure that marketing investments provide a timely, tangible return on investment (ROI).
To maximize website ROI, Google advocates a proven, methodical approach involving four steps:
1. Drive traffic through activities such as search-based advertising and website promotions.
2. Analyze traffic to understand where visitors come from and how they interact with the site.
3. Optimize the site by determining which combinations of site content and design drive the most conversions.
4. Increase conversions and decrease bounce rates using the intelligence gathered during the steps above. Next, using search – such as on-premise search from the Google Search Appliance (GSA) or hosted search with Google Site Search – guide your visitors to find the information they need to become active customers or otherwise engage with your website.

The Importance of a Print Management Strategy
Today’s rising overhead expenses drive organizations to find practical ways to reduce costs. Profit-conscious executives face the challenge of either reducing headcount or reducing overhead expenses. Much of the time, either of these strategies can have a negative impact on productivity and morale. Every so often a strategy appears that can provide significant expense control and enhance productivity. One of these areas is office printing.
Documents drive business processes. That’s why an average of 1-3% of a company’s annual revenues are consumed by document productioni. To make matters worse, this expense is growing in many organizations. A Print Management Strategy allows you to control these expenses by outsourcing the management of your fleet of printers. In this type of usage-based model, you only pay for the prints you use. Best of all, no capital expenditures are required since the agreement is for the management of your existing fleet.
This paper presents the importance of a Print Management Strategy. Current economic, environmental, productivity and IT department impacts are explored. Benefits of implementing a print management strategy are itemized.
