Migrating From Tape to Disk Backups
As backup software breaks away from its historically tight integration with tape, IT administrators are implementing disk-based backup products that are optimized to address new priorities. The new disk-based backup products geared to SMBs are being enhanced with enterprise-class product features that are getting less expensive, making it feasible to back up from disk to removable disks, doing away with tape backups altogether. As storage capacity increases, a larger backup capability is required.
Unfortunately, SMB's have often been underserved by storage products. Either the product is too expensive to match the budget or the solution is designed for a small or home office, and is incongruent, unreliable and difficult to use. Learn how small and medium sized businesses can migrate to products with features designed for large enterprises but in a footprint of an appliance compatible with the SMB budget.

Exposing and Taming Costs of Office Document-Handling
Experts have predicted a move toward a paperless office for years. Instead, paper volumes have increased steadily. This has greatly influenced cost-efficiency since overall document expenditures average 6% of annual revenue across all industries. Many offices have been slow to design for document workflow efficiency, trusting in 'evolution' instead.
This study explores the hidden costs embedded in seemingly up-to-date office-printing environments that lack a systematic design and explains how to better manage document workflow.

Unplanned Work: The Silent Killer
You can't see it. You can't smell it. But it can be deadly, and it may be in your IT organization's basement, silently killing your company. It's called unplanned work, and CIOs and CISOs are losing jobs because of it.
Unplanned work by definition is any activity in an IT organization that cannot be mapped to an authorized project, procedure, or change request. Any service interruption, failed change, emergency change, or patch or security incident creates unplanned work, which can come as a high expense for any organization.
This paper reveals dangers and provides helpful scenarios and useful information to help you maximize effectiveness in your IT organization.
