Collaboration Tools can leverage human communications to improve enterprise performance - Forrester Consulting White Paper

Enterprises must become dynamic to improve the speed with which their networks connect people to people, people to processes, and people to knowledge, To achieve this dynamism, they must harness the power of unified communications (UC) and collaboration tools to empower employees, whoever they are, contact centre agent or knowledge worker, in whatever role, team worker, manager, or senior executive, and wherever they’re working, at home, on the road, or in the office.

Accelerating Information System Interoperability for Secured Business Processes Automation - White paper

Faced with increased information privacy legislation, organizations must secure their online, automated business processes with partners to meet corporate governance obligations. They are challenged to achieve these goals because their information systems, such as HR, ERP, CRM, finance, and sales were not designed to provide the secure interoperability required for automating business processes. An emerging alternative model for services-oriented architecture (SOA) deployment includes a network-embedded SOA backbone that provides IT system interoperability for corporate-wide security and regulatory compliance. This network-based approach provides significant advantages because it is application–independent, needing no modification to web services-aware applications, and reduces the TCO for IT systems.

User Centric Security - how to mimimise the risk

With the convergence of information technology (IT) and communications and the emergence of innovative technologies, end-user devices and applications, the pace of change in enterprises is accelerating. This acceleration, combined with increasing end-user mobility and more demanding regulatory requirements, makes managing enterprise security risks a considerable challenge.

Security solutions must be tied to both high-level corporate goals and to everyday end-user realities as a result of the potential for increased risk to enterprise assets. One recent and promising approach to reducing the risk associated with fast-evolving end-user realities is to reinforce security closer to enterprise end users. In practice, that means reinforcing security at the points where end users connect to the corporate network and reinforcing security for mobile users’ communications.

This paper describes how a user-centric approach to security can help enterprises manage the risk to their corporate assets and minimize end-user involvement and frustration in order to increase productivity and optimize technology investments.

With the ongoing convergence of fixed and mobile technologies, and with the advent of mobile broadband capabilities, the potential for mobility to become an integrated and coherent enterprise tool has never been greater.
