...business partners (Isuzu Australia, 2008). The reasoning behind getting this communication network up and running is the high priority requirement for access to the latest materials and information from IAL head office (Bigdoli, 2014). In 2005 they distributed all information in printed format and shipped via the Australia Post. The benefits to creating a centralized communication network would be exponential to their productivity, dealers and other business partners would be able to access information and submit issues in real time instead of relying on post. IAL decided to use IBM’s WebSphere portal and Workplace Web Content Management (WCM), along with Lotus SameTime instant messaging, Lotus Quickr for team based project management and Portal Document Manager (PDM) for a central repository of documents. The reasoning behind this was given by the Staff Operations Manager, Aninka Morhall – We chose WebSphere Portal and WCM because this solution was more capable of meeting our needs than the other offerings in the market, in particular in terms of its scalability. We were also interested in all of the extra collaborative components. As a long time Lotus Notes® user we knew these systems would integrate seamlessly with our existing technology platforms." IAL chose to use a solution that, in part, they were already familiar with and knew would work with existing systems. A wiki is an application that allows users to edit and publish content in collaboration with other users. IAL uses...

...Решения на IBM Уеб Персонализация Един персонализиран сайт за електронен бизнес има по-голям шанс да привлече и задържи посетители и да постигне успех. Персонализираните сайтове за служители увеличават продуктивността като улесняват достъпа до информация и приложения. Освен това клиентите са повече доволни, когато губят по-малко време за влизане в акаунта си и обслужването е индивидуално, според техните нужди. Персонализацията на сайтовете ги прави по-лесни за използване и увелича продажбите. Това е процес на събиране и съхраняване на информация за посетителите на сайта, анализ на информацията, и въз основа на анализа, предоставяне на правилната информация на всеки потребител в точното време. Това е ключова технология, неободима в различни приложения за електронен бизнес, като: управление на връзките с клиентите, реклами и промотиране на продукти, управление на маркетинговите кампании, управление на съдържанието в сайтовете, управление на знанието, персонализираните портали и канали. Избрани цени, съдържание, насочен маркетинг и реклама изискват усложнено събиране на данни. Тези методи разчитат на персонализираните уеб страници и носят бизнес стойност като позволяват на притежателите на сайтовете сами да определят кога и по какъв начин да се променя съдържанието. Изисква се възможност за поддръжка на голям брой заявки, голяма вместимост и събиране на потребителска информация.

...Keysha Bacote Professor Larry Yodice Human Resource Management August 29, 2013 WALMART The main subject of this case concerns creating an effective internet strategy. These special skills are necessary for effective internet strategies. As well as having a competitive advantage that can be gained with an online presence. Creating strategic alliances which can enhance the value added to all consumers. Wal-Mart is famous for being a leader in offering the lowest prices to consumers. These prices are possible because corporation has been able to efficiently achieve a low cost competitive advantage. Since 1996, Wal-Mart has made the choice to compete in the electronic market by launching its website named www.Wal-Mart.com. The launching of Wal-Mart.com came with failures and mistakes because the company had no idea how to make their website desirable to the consumer’s eye. However, Wal-Mart revamped its website by reformulating its online strategy, and joint venturing with Accel Partners. Accel Partners has experience in building and leading internet businesses, which Wal-Mart seem to be inexperienced in. The newly redesigned Wal-Mart.com was launched January 1st, 2000 and it is now offering multiple products, features and services. It offers 600,000 items and expects and expects to add pharmacy by the end of the year (Wal-Mart to form dot com, 2000).

...ABAP (Advanced Business Application Programming) ABAP Workbench The ABAP Workbench component is a fully-fledged development environment for applications in the ABAP language. With it, you can create, edit, test, and organize application developments. It is fully integrated in the R/3 Basis system and, like other R/3 applications, is itself written in ABAP. Application Servers R/3 programs run on application servers. They are an important component of the R/3 System. The following sections describe application servers in more detail. Structure of an Application Server The application layer of an R/3 System is made up of the application servers and the message server. Application programs in an R/3 System are run on application servers. The application servers communicate with the presentation components, the database, and also with each other, using the message server. The following diagram shows the structure of an application server: [pic] The individual components are: Work Processes An application server contains work processes, which are components that can run an application. Each work process is linked to a memory area containing the context of the application being run. The context contains the current data for the application program. This needs to be available in each dialog step. Dispatcher Each application server contains a dispatcher. The dispatcher is the link between the work processes and the users logged onto the application server. Its...

...Practical 1 Practical 1.1 : Basic of Cluster Computing 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background study Parallel computing has seen many changes since the days of the highly expensive and proprietary super computers. Changes and improvements in performance have also been seen in the area of mainframe computing for many environments. But these compute environments may not be the most cost effective and flexible solution for a problem. Over the past decade, cluster technologies have been developed that allow multiple low cost computers to work in a coordinated fashion to process applications. The economics, performance and flexibility of compute clusters makes cluster computing an attractive alternative to centralized computing models and the attendant to cost, inflexibility, and scalability issues inherent to these models. Many enterprises are now looking at clusters of high-performance, low cost computers to provide increased application performance, high availability, and ease of scaling within the data center. Interest in and deployment of computer clusters has largely been driven by the increase in the performance of off-the-shelf commodity computers, high-speed, low-latency network switches and the maturity of the software components. Application performance continues to be of significant concern for various entities including governments, military, education, scientific and now enterprise organizations. This document provides a review of cluster computing, the various types...
