...Riodan Manufacturing Compared to the expansion and growth of business companies have witnessed throughout history, modern companies face many challenges and have some of the most advanced tools to be utilized. The invention of the modern day computer systems has revolutionized the way companies do business and allow for unprecedented growth.

...Delphi: The bellybutton of the ancient world Look beyond simply the famed oracular priestess breathing in hallucinogenic gases and you find a place whose past speaks directly to the 21st century. That is the argument of Cambridge University's Dr Michael Scott who is researching how and why Delphi, a small Greek town and religious sanctuary perched on a difficult to reach mountainside, was for 1,000 years the proclaimed the 'bellybutton', the very centre of the ancient world. Famed for its oracle at the Temple of Apollo, he is also examining the evidence of Delphi's many other gods, athletic and musical games and the monuments to unity - as well as civil war - that crowded its religious sanctuaries. Dr. Scott uses the latest architectural plans of the temple of Apollo which reveal for the first time archaeological traces of what may have been the oracular priestess's consultation room inside the temple. He also argues that the town, which drew kings and emperors as well as cities and commoners from all corners of the Mediterranean world and beyond, still speaks as powerfully to us today as it did in the past. He said: "Imagine a place with the wealth of the Swiss banks, the religious power of the Vatican, the advertising potential of the World Cup and the historical importance of all the world's museums combined; that was Delphi. We would all like to know what the future has in store for us. In that, perhaps the most important thing Delphi teaches us is to look inward, to...

...Diogenes of Sinope was known for being different from the rest of society. Diogenes was popularly known as a Kyon, which in Greek means “dog.” The word cynic derives from Kyon and was later associated with the philosophy of cynicism which is “The end of life is virtue, not pleasure, and it can only be obtained by independence of all earthly possessions and pleasures” (Philosophy.lander.edu) as well as living a “living a life full of virtue in agreement with nature”(Philosophybasics.com). Diogenes lives in a barrel, and he happily demonstrates that there is more to life than just power and riches. The fact that he lives in such a simple manner, shows that he doesn’t need materials to be happy. In Tendryakov’s Revelations next to a Philosopher’s Barrel, Diogenes of Sinope is an outcast in society. Although he was an outcast, he was very popular because of how differently he lived his life and behaved around others. “There was only one person in the city who did not even stir to cast a glance at Alexander, the Macedonian king. He himself was famous both in Corinth and without it—Diogenes of Sinope, the strange sage. (Translator's Private Collection).” Diogenes was not like the rest of the Greeks, he kept to himself and didn’t really care too much for people of power. In this quote, he was the only one to not care for Alexander the Great or anyone else for that matter. The idea of not having any ethical duties in society is hard to imagine. Diogenes was detached from everyday human...

...1. Before Maruti Suzuki adopted the Oracle suite their databases were because they were rapidly growing larger and the technology that hosted their data wasn’t keeping up with their growth. Their previous systems weren’t very flexible and were very inefficient. The systems required extensive training and offered low turn around times. 2. The advantages of the company moving to a single vendor is that all of their systems and databases will be compatible with each other which promotes flexibility and makes it easier for the company to expand. Possible risks of using a single vendor could include data loss if the system as a whole were to crash, also if the vendor goes out of business the system could go down. 3. The important business factors management used when evaluating Oracles offerings were, the need for the systems to be simple and easily scalable, the company needed the databases to run multiple processes on a single network, Oracles databases also had to be compatible with legacy systems. 4. Its important that a companies vendors can integrate with legacy systems because the company doesn’t want to pay more money to replace systems already in use, with the use of middleware the company can update old systems instead of crating new ones. 5. Some of the benefits management reported from using oracles suit of products included, data being available online almost immediately, as well as allowing multiple views of data and consolidating accounts which...

...Pros for Workday vs Fusion: * Better Marketing and use of customer references than Oracle * Better User Interface than Fusion * First Mover advantage in Cloud HCM and the experience that brings to SaaS implementations * More advanced & mature smartphone and tablet apps (Fusion Tap notwithstanding) * Pure, single version of software in cloud; faster and more regular updates that are supposedly seamless for end user Cons for Workday vs Fusion * Very US-Centric; something like 90% of their customers are US Based I think. No UK Payroll here folks (they provide a partner integration via Northgate Arinso). * HCM Point solution; have to partner with other vendors for other functions, like Salesforce for CRM. Caveat that they do have a Finance system, but only 10% uptake amongst their customers. Second caveat is that some customers prefer stitching together 'best of breeds'. * Still have big HCM gaps like Recruitment and Training (expect these to be filled though) * Don't have the Global salesforce that Oracle / SAP enjoy; I think they'll find it tougher to outsell Oracle in strong non-US Oracle markets like UK, Gulf and Australia. * No alternative to Cloud. If 65% of customers want SaaS, that means 35% don't want SaaS (although I suspect the ratio is more like 90%/10% in practice!). Pros for Fusion vs Workday * Integrated Suite, not just HCM (echoing Richard's comments above) * Global salesforce and product direction: non-US localizations available...

...Implementing Transactional Security in Single OU through form personalization Version 1.0 Overview: This document explains the procedure & step-by-step approach for implementing transactional security in single operating unit based on a segment in Chart of Accounts or any given criteria. White Paper: Implementing transactional security in single operating unit of Oracle Applications Version 11.5.10 Introduction: Transactional security has traditionally been one of the driving factors for businesses to opt of multiple operating units in Oracle Application Implementations. However, a large number of business establishments are now increasingly looking for transactional security even in the single operating unit. Transactional security in an operating unit can be of two types: ➢ To restrict access to transactional entry, say AP invoices etc, based on a specific chart of account or any given criteria ➢ To prevent users from viewing transactions, say AP invoices etc, with a specific chart of account or any given criteria even if the opt for a blind query by pressing Ctrl + F11 General Ledger security rules come handy in implementing the first part of the transactional security i.e. to prevent users from entering transactions with specific COA segments. However, GL security rules can be used only if the criterion is based on the COA segments. Also GL security rules have no effect on query mode. So viewing cannot be prevented with the help...

...hundreds of thousands, to millions of dollars. For companies like Kennametal, to make significant changes to an ERP System once implemented, or to completely migrate to a different ERP System can multiply those cost. (Wisner, J., Tan, K., & Leong, G., 2012. p. 198). There are many ERP software solutions for major corporations that fit all budgets and offer a variety of features based on a firm’s needs. Three of those companies we will discuss in closer detail are Oracle, SAP, and Microsoft. Each of these companies offer the ability to configure their software to be tailored to an organizations specific demands; whether it be, choosing a type of inventory accounting or how the company choses to recognize its profits. In addition, each of these three companies offer functionality by providing the option to have ERP data housed on a server in a specified location or, an increasingly more popular option, by usage of the cloud. Furthermore, SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, and Oracle all offer some sort of mobile or “App” functionality. The acronym SAP stands for Systems, Applications and Products in Data Processing. SAP is a company headquartered in Germany. Their ERP program is used to support best practices for 25 different industries. The software...

...people found him as a evil-doer and corrupter of the youth and that Socrates did not receive the same gods which whom the state received but instead he would introduce other new deities. The Athenian society felt as if everyone should believe in the same gods and anyone who did not or whomever taught that there could be something greater or even something different was considered an outcast and that they had to get rid of them in this case Socrates was this outcast. When Socrates has to present in court and to respond about his charges he is calm and plain spoken. Socrates explains to the courts that he has no experience with the court laws and he will speak the way he knows how. Socrates goes on to explain that his teachings come from the Oracle Delphi which he claims that he is the wisest man of all men. Socrates speaks of his ignorance and explains that he has to be wiser than other men only that he knows nothing. I believe that the premise would be when he explains his ignorance and that when he went to politians, poets and craftsmen and they too knew nothing. Socrates claims that society needs him and I believe that the premise would be when...

...Build Your Own Oracle RAC Cluster on Oracle Enterprise Linux and iSCSI (Continued) The information in this guide is not validated by Oracle, is not supported by Oracle, and should only be used at your own risk; it is for educational purposes only. 12. Create "oracle" User and Directories Perform the following tasks on both Oracle RAC nodes in the cluster! In this section we will create the oracle UNIX user account, recommended O/S groups, and all required directories. The following O/S groups will be created: Description | Oracle Privilege | Oracle Group Name | UNIX Group name | Oracle Inventory and Software Owner | | | oinstall | Database Administrator | SYSDBA | OSDBA | dba | Database Operator | SYSOPER | OSOPER | oper | We will be using the Oracle Cluster File System, Release 2 (OCFS2) to store the files required to be shared for the Oracle Clusterware software. When using OCFS2, the UID of the UNIX user " oracle" and GID of the UNIX group " oinstall" must be the same on both of the Oracle RAC nodes in the cluster. If either the UID or GID are different, the files on the OCFS2 file system will show up as "unowned" or may even be owned by a different user. For this article, I will use 501 for the " oracle" UID and 501 for the " oinstall" GID. Note that members of the UNIX group oinstall are considered the "owners" of the Oracle software. Members of the dba group can administer Oracle databases, for example starting up and shutting down databases. Members...
