BMC Software: The key to green IT and profitability
Energy costs continue to take up a significant portion IT budgets, and it seems that there is no end in sight. Much of the power that IT consumes is being wasted. Industry experts have reported that the cost of wasted server capacity is more than $100bn per year. Cost is not the only problem. Energy consumption has become a severe constraint on growth. Many IT organisations view Green IT as a major undertaking that involves replacing current equipment with new "green" equipment that has low energy consumption.

IFS: Ten ways to use ERP to lean the manufacturing supply chain
Lean in a supply chain context is about a holistic view of procurement, manufacturing distribution and sales order processing. This means that some level of enterprise technology is necessary to view the organization in an integrated context instead of as functional islands. However, before technology can facilitate the lean supply chain, manufacturing executives need to start thinking in lean supply chain terms. We will be reviewing those terms and sharing the key concepts that are the foundation for the lean effort.
Alcatel-Lucent: Creating more time for patient care with dynamic communications
Dynamic communications solutions that enable the real-time flow of information and knowledge in clinical and administrative workflows can dramatically reduce the time between a patient event and its outcome. When this time is reduced, patients receive higher quality care, outcomes are improved, clinicians are more satisfied and operations are more efficient.
HCL: Challenges and best practices in test process assessment

Riverbed: Optimisation of Citrix ICA with Steelhead appliances
The centralisation of applications and access using thin clients enhances manageability and security. However, while desktop virtualisation usually has little or no impact on the end-user experience when the thin client and server communicate over a LAN, it can come at the cost of reduced user experience when running over the wide area network (WAN), in particular in high-latency environments.
