This research announces that it has a new study on enterprise content management markets. Systems are poised for significant growth as people move to purchase for new marketing and Web based applications based on XML and Web technologies.

Enterprise content management (ECM) systems are basic infrastructure for unstructured information. Unstructured information is becoming more structured as it is tagged with XML tags and managed in components enabling reuse and repurposing of content.

Today's economic climate has heightened the goal of every IT department to provide high-quality IT service to the business, at the lowest possible cost, while improving business outcomes. Looking outside of the infrastructure itself, there are two key challenges related to data storage: provisioning capacity for applications and reducing risk through a sound data protection strategy.

This white paper details how continuous data protection for files is important in this current day where lost data can significantly affect productivity, customer satisfaction, and, ultimately, revenue.

At the core of every data initiative is the requirement for clean, trusted information. Data quality serves as the foundation for business intelligence (BI), enterprise resource planning (ERP), and customer relationship management (CRM) projects.

The growth of structured data from databases, e-mail and other applications has been exponential. The increasing flood of data can lead to a host of problems - failing to recognize that data storage must be managed as a critical resource often results in a very difficult environment to manage, a higher cost of ownership, less responsiveness to change and added risk to the business.

Grant Thornton needed to streamline IT asset management and reduce asset drift across 49 offices. The company used Computrace by Absolute Software to recover and wipe data from laptops before end-of-lease.

It is a critical part of IT, providing the ability for business to access structured information, meet legal and compliance requirements, and serve customers. This study provides some of the most extensive research to date, based on customer surveys and interviews, covering content use patterns, business drivers, expectations, preferred vendors, distribution requirements, and more.

Authored by Bloor Research, this paper is about using information management software from SAP BusinessObjects for SAP data migration projects, either for upgrades from one version of SAP to a newer one, or from other environments to SAP.

Traditional methodologies for monitoring the data center environment are no longer sufficient. With technologies such as blade servers driving up cooling demands and regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley driving up data security requirements, the physical environment in the data center must be watched more closely.
