So how can they stay on top of technology trends and developments without losing their nights--or their edge on the competition? Why not do both at the same time, courtesy of comprehensive, up-to-date content from CMP? In-depth white papers, case studies, and analysis illuminate today's top tech issues. They also deliver the critical business context IT executives need to create value, maximize return on investment (ROI), and reduce total cost of ownership (TCO). Case in point: on demand computing. IT executives may have heard that self-healing systems, dynamic reallocation of resources, and as-needed access to applications promise to transform business. But successful deployments demand a thorough understanding of everything from grid computing to autonomic technology. IBM lays out the details in white papers and tutorials, while CMP supplies an Executive Guide that offers the critical business perspective, along with special Webcasts that can help executives spec out a strategic vision ("Strategies for Turning Your Company into an On Demand E-Business"). The goal: happier customers, higher productivity, and huge gains in efficiency (not to mention profits). http://ct.rubin-swx.com/pp1/cts?d=86-528-494-508-19039-3172-1 Cisco has its own take on how to make employees more productive, convert users into loyal customers, and reduce TCO: Converge communications over a single IP network. The migration doesn't have to be difficult, thanks to white papers that deliver tech details on everything from IP video to call-center apps, as well as real-world case studies that put implementation issues into perspective ("Successful Convergence with Cisco's IP Communications Strategies"). http://ct.rubin-swx.com/pp1/cts?d=86-528-494-508-19039-3175-1 Sprint also touts the IP advantage: a 30 percent reduction in management costs compared with frame relay. Comprehensive white papers can help IT executives map out a migration strategy that will simplify network administration and allow companies to put a cap on TCO ("Putting the Backbone in Multiservice Networking"). http://ct.rubin-swx.com/pp1/cts?d=86-528-494-508-19039-3178-1 Growing companies grapple with many of the same issues as their bigger brethren, only they're forced to address them on a smaller budget.
