For starters, he saved money for his organization, The Mind Research Network, by switching from hosted Microsoft Exchange to Google Apps. He also spared his IT team from the grind of maintenance, upgrades and patches. Beyond mail, Jeremy deployed Google's online documents, video, archiving and encryption apps to help his 200+ research scientists and staff improve collaboration, boost productivity and enhance security.   Solving the Data Challenge for Real-Time Awareness and Risk Assessment Real-time, global data updates have become a critical business requirement for financial-services firms. Overnight or hourly batch jobs can cause erroneous results and missed opportunities. New regulatory requirements dictate real-time reporting of liquidity; traders want access to real-time market and risk positions; and the time windows for relevancy of cross-selling and marketing opportunities are getting shorter. To deal with these issues and new requirements, firms need to be able to react quickly to changes in data. Quick reactions require near-instant access to data, risk analysis and deeper computational analysis for effective decision making. View this webcast to learn how to achieve real-time awareness by managing ever-increasing data volumes and transaction rates.   Geek Out on the Best Practices of a Google Apps Deployment You geeked out with us on the technical details of a Google Apps migration.

But cloud computing offers the IT professional a chance to focus efforts on the area of biggest return: user satisfaction.  Guest speakers included Jim Copeland, Dan Kennedy and Marcello Pedersen from the Google Apps Deployment team. Contact Center Consolidation and Centralization Live Webcast: Thursday, November 3, 2011 11:30 AM Eastern, 4:30 PM UK Consolidating onto a centrally managed contact center platform, well-equipped to service all your locations, can drive down your cost of ownership, while at the same time delivering more advanced services to your customers. Elimination of the multitude of systems in various locations, from various vendors, with distinct administrative interfaces provides an improved ability to centrally manage communications across the enterprise. Productivity increases through a common set of applications and services and the ability to deliver new functionality simultaneously across all locations. And overall reliability and availability of services can increase substantially. All well and good, but how do you get there?   Save Money With Cloud Computing and Google Apps Google Apps offers simple, powerful communication and collaboration tools for enterprises of any size in business, education, or government - all hosted by Google to streamline setup.     You are subscribed to this Resource Newsletter as tbone.arun@gmail.com    To unsubscribe from all of our mailings, click here or send an email to: globalunsub-2010001400@elabs10.com with the address: tbone.arun@gmail.com in the subject line.     SourceForge  |  594 Howard Street,  Suite 300  |  San Francisco, CA  94105 To view our Privacy Policy click here
