eBook – Building the Connected Retail Experience

“Today’s shoppers expect more than a transactional relationship with retailers; they want a seamless and personalized journey that reflects the context of how they shop across devices and channels. The key to success lies in connecting in-store software with online systems so retailers can provide an uninterrupted experience wherever customers shop.” - Ross Mason, Founder of MuleSoft

Driving digital transformation in retail requires connectivity across an ever-increasing number of applications, data and devices. Because of this, connectivity has emerged as a bottleneck that slows the development of new applications and the adoption of new technologies to meet customer demands.

In response, leading retail and CPG companies have adopted API-led connectivity, which eliminates this connectivity bottleneck and enables a 2-5x faster IT project delivery across the value chain.

Comprehensive Office 365 Backup

Many organizations are adopting Microsoft’s highly successful Office 365 productivity and collaboration suite of tools in the cloud. But not all of them realize the inherent data risks that must be addressed to ensure ongoing end-user productivity and to safeguard intellectual property.

Further, data protection responsibility for Office 365 falls squarely on the customer’s shoulders, as stated by Microsoft in their Services Agreement, “We recommend that you regularly backup your content and data that you store on the services or store using third-party apps and services”.

Because of Microsoft’s shared responsibility model, the most prudent course of action for organizations is to protect their Office 365 data by using a dedicated third-party solution.

eBook: Rescue Resolve Evolve

Millions of workers are walking around with their office, computer, filing cabinet, phone, email, working documents, and more right in the palm of their hands.

Many no longer even have a physical office to go to. They’re on the road, work remotely, and connect virtually with employers, clients, and partners who may be in a different city or country altogether.

What enabled this new work reality? Technology. For ever-growing numbers of people, whether they’re IT professionals, marketers, operations folks, salespeople, or others, tech is elemental.

And when a tech problem crops up, work comes to a stop. It’s a point of friction every worker, IT department, and enterprise has experienced—and one that nobody needs. So how does IT resolve issues quickly while evolving the business’s capacity to succeed?

This insightful guide walks you through the five foundational elements of frictionless support.

Hadoop Data Migration Benchmark Report

The cloud is a natural home for big data. In the cloud, companies can take advantage of cheap, scalable storage and compute platforms leveraging an OPEX model. Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) are able to spin massive compute clusters up or down automatically, helping organizations optimize costs and reduce the need for people with deep expertise in managing such deployments. CSPs have also enhanced their big data solutions providing greater functionality over native Hadoop offerings, and greatly simplifying the complexities for organizations having to manage their own Hadoop implementations.

This eBook explores some of the business risks associated with big data to cloud migrations. It highlights third-party research as well as results of a survey conducted with 80 cloud and data architects, and other technical specialists to provide insights on their data migration plans and strategies, and compares the costs and risks associated with manual vs automated big data migrations.

Migrate your data lake to the public cloud with zero-disruption

Data lakes are becoming ever more tightly integrated into essential operational services. For born-in-the cloud enterprises, dialing up capacity to expand analytics services is relatively straightforward. However, for businesses operating on-premises data lakes, expansion can be costly and slow—which puts them at a significant competitive disadvantage.

For these enterprises, migrating on-premises data lakes to the public cloud promises a cost-effective way to gain leading-edge analytics capabilities and practically unlimited scalability. However, the perceived need for an extended period of downtime during the cloud migration can make these projects seem too costly, painful and risky.

In this eBook, WANdisco explains why continuous data replication is the key to achieving a low-risk, seamless data lake migration. With the WANdisco Fusion platform enforcing strong consistency between data on premises and in the cloud, businesses can run both environments in parallel for as long as they need to—and switch seamlessly to the cloud as soon as they are ready. The result is a simple, automated Hadoop migration with no disruption to the business.

White Paper: Frictionless Security – Protect your Entire IT Ecosystem from End User to Admins

In the modern workforce, we can work from home – or from any location that has internet access – more easily than ever. We often interact and comment on social media as individuals as part of our professional lives. Where we log in from, how we access resources and the devices we use are interchangeable and blur the line between these two formerly distinct parts of life.

As an individual, it’s professionally liberating but for IT managers and CISOs, this extended environment includes far too many access points that bad actors can use to get to the precious corporate resources. This situation mandates a comprehensive change in our approach security. The balance that IT managers and CISOs work to achieve is to give their users safe access without heavy-handed security measures impeding productivity. They must consider many factors and weigh options as to how they can safely support the business in reaching its objectives. The aim is to secure the enterprise without users noticing. In a word, to make security frictionless to the user.
