 Secure Remote Access for the Distributed Business
It's a constant challenge to provide remote users, or teleworkers, with convenient access to enterprise information resources. This challenge can become a problem when teleworkers need remote access from almost anywhere, including a growing number of temporary work locations like airport Internet kiosks, WiFi hot spots, and even computers of friends and relatives. At the same time, enterprise information resources must be protected from attack from those same remote locations. |  Maximizing Unified Communications for Your Business

and Solution Optimization |  IT energy efficiency for small and mid-size business
Propelled by swelling energy costs, many corporations today find themselves embarking on new conservation and "green" initiatives. Whether it's investing in alternative energy markets or manufacturing more energy efficient products, "going green" can also be good for business. IBM interviewed more than 1,100 executives from small and mid-sized business to find out how environmental concern is affecting day-to-day policies of SMBs, and what role IT plays. |  Hold on Tight, We Are In For A Bumpy Ride
The negative drumbeat in the financial media has been increasing in intensity over the last several quarters. The bursting of the housing market bubble and the subsequent seizing up of the credit markets in the US and across the globe have been the lead stories. The failure of Bear Sterns and the Federal Reserve and Treasury Departments brokering of shotgun mergers seems to have marked a turn away from the abyss of a total collapse of the financial markets. |  Mastering carbon management
As the planet heats up, so do regulatory mandates to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions worldwide. Much of the opportunity to address CO2 emissions rests
on the supply chain, compelling companies to look for new approaches to
managing carbon effectively – from sourcing and production, to distribution
and product afterlife. The trade-offs in the supply chain are no longer just about
cost, service and quality – but cost, service, quality and carbon. By incorporating
carbon reduction into their overall SCM strategy, companies can help reduce their
environmental emissions footprint, strengthen their brand image and develop
competitive advantage. |
