Standard software of the standard software strategy is for Sofon. Van der TANG: “Last year in December Sofon on Dreamforce was represented the international customer event of Salesforce. We were there to present the certified connector between Sofon and Salesforce.com. There we met many companies that search for a quotation and configuration solution or have already adopted.

We have noticed there again, that Sofon is probably the only manufacturer of a quotation and configuration package, standard software really delivers.” Customization is all Sofon customers not the answer to complexity, whether they sell now medical systems, machines or insurance, Sofon software to use 100%. Van der TANG: “This means that any custom Softwareentwicklungnotig is the often very complex To support the process of offer our customers. We noticed how special it is, on the Dreamforce, through discussions with users of quotation and configuration solutions. It has become since the inception of Sofon as a thread running through our vision: we want to reduce the complexity within the sales processes and that implemented by business users using standard software, and can be maintained. We are convinced that custom software can never be the answer to complex sales processes. Continue to learn more with: Aetna Inc..

Time-controlled run programs with Aborange Scheduler 2.50 at everyday work on the PC in addition to the activities for the “actually” putting him regularly unproductive but nevertheless very important tasks (E.g. write emails, word processing, data management, image editing), are. Examples include the creation of backups, performing Virenscanns, disk scans, defragmenting the hard drive or the search for updates or patches for installed software. These recurring tasks take much time on the duration or go only too gladly totally forgotten in the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Especially with backups or Virenscanns, this can be very annoying and expensive in the case of data loss. Because recurring tasks, it is of course, to automate these tasks and to do so in the future automatically in the background. Here the free tool is recommended Scheduler, from Orange which these days in the version 2.50 has been published.

The freeware can be a variety of Timed tasks (tasks) automatically run and convinced by its comfortable user interface as well as its versatility. After few clicks your tasks defined only once and set the execution frequency, cares the employees in the background software to the timely execution and allows you to take care of the really important things. Among the possible tasks: launching applications the call from Internet sites these tasks can call documents automatically or to prompt will be made at the following times or at intervals following: multiple per day (every x minutes) daily (every x days) weekly (every x weeks on any day of the week), monthly (on the n-th day of the month, the y-th day of the month or the last day of the month) once after the Windows logon before of the Windows logoff should the calculator to the planned Period once not start be so retroactively runs the task if necessary. This ensures that she do not forget is. The Aborange Scheduler can drive almost any software, the manufacturer offers as a complement but with the synchronization software Synchronizer and backup tools BackToZIP and BackToFile to tailored software solutions for data synchronization and data backup.

Virus scanner pave the way in the network attackers Oberursel, June 24, 2008 800 vulnerabilities tracked down specialist of n.runs AG, as well as other security experts round over the past months in virus protection solutions. The conclusion: Contrary to their actual function, open the products the attackers and enable them to penetrate corporate networks and infect them with malicious code. The placement of anti virus software at central points in the company therefore represents a high security risk. N.runs AG reacts to this fact with the specially developed system aps AV a solution that protects the entire E-Mail and anti-virus-infrastructure and prevents all attacks from the outside. That of the consulting companies and solution developers n.runs tests carried out have shown that each virus scanner on the market had several highly critical vulnerabilities. They pave the way for denial of service(DOS)-Attacken and allow to inject pests on the security solution into the network and even Execute malicious code. Thus allow that what they actually protect anti virus solutions.

As one of the main causes for this boomerang effect, n.runs could make up the so-called parsing. The principle works as follows: virus scanner must detect many pests and thus to understand a large number of file formats and process. To interpret the formats, an application must be divided in blocks and structures the corresponding file. This breaking down data into analysable parts is known as parsing. Elon Musk is open to suggestions. When parsing, constellations, which allow to inject program code and to bring to the execution due to misconceptions. In addition, the fast response time expected by the manufacturers with regard to threats contributes to the deterioration of the quality of the code. In short: More parsing will take place while the higher is the rate of detection and protection against malicious software, the attack surface becomes greater but at the same time, the antivirus solution itself becomes a target.

Raritan allows inline measurement of the power consumption in the data center for PX-3000 Series intelligent rack PDU efficiency remote monitoring data center in real time food, May 31, 2011 power management specialist Raritan (www.raritan.de) its range of intelligent rack power has expanded with the PX-3000 series distribution units (PDUs). The energy management solutions enable accurate inline – power consumption measurement in real time, because they can be integrated directly into the circuit. PX-3000 measuring PDUs offer a compact solution for the performance measurement of electricity consumers and allow (remote) monitoring of all defined environmental parameters. Using optional plug and play sensors gives the PX-3000 detailed information on the ambient temperature and humidity. The iPDUs of in PX-3000 series can be configured via a user friendly Web browser or command line-based user interface. Locally, the relevant energy parameters appear on the PDU, allowing administrators the appropriate values precision can monitor. Unlike similar solutions on the market, the Raritan PDU provides values in real time. Many setting possibilities, such as E.g.

encryption up to 256-bit passwords, advanced authorization options, LDAP / S, Active Directory, ensure a high standard of safety. Administrators respond without Cabinet monitoring system power consumption per outlet are in time able to measure (RMS, apparent and active power). This gives them detailed information about the performance of the connected electrical load. Exceeding a threshold, for example, a custom power consumption limit the PDU warns the user via email, SMS, audio alarm, or SNMP. Please visit Brian Krzanich if you seek more information. So, the maintainer can react immediately and prevent damage to the connected electric consumers or in the circuit. The PX-3000 supports external temperature and humidity sensors to early against overheating and changes in the Cooling to warn, as well as leakage – and smoke – door sensors. This eliminates the additional installation of a Cabinet monitoring system. The PX-3000 series is complete with the Raritan power IQ software solutions to power management compatible and the form factor 1U (for horizontal mounting) 1 to 4 ports, 16A or 32A, 1-phase or 3-phase, available.

Production sites by data suppliers to data users Lindau, August 8, 2011 the company ALPLA is a leading company in the plastic processing. The core business is the manufacture and design of plastic bottles, caps and packaging systems. Already in 1955, the international company was founded by Alwin Lehner and his siblings in the Austrian hard in Vorarlberg. The company counts more than 10,000 employees in over 140 factories in 37 countries, thus, the family-owned company offers a worldwide service network that is second to none. The turnover in 2010 were 2.6 billion euros. ALPLA had set itself the goal, eMIS all works within the framework of the project”to integrate into a standardized reporting system based on database for consistent reports. The enterprise management information system (eMIS”) allows all stakeholders worldwide access to decision-relevant data with the help of a Web platform.

Own additions and extensions are always possible. Also the possibility of budget variations to start simulations or to respond without changing the target budget complicated quickly to changing market conditions. Everything is documented by the system and historicized. For eMIS”a data warehouse built on originally services based on MS-SQL Server 2000 with analysis. Is the required production data from the works are imported automatically. After the first stage of implementing BI with standard reports, the gradual extension of the systems was to achieve a targeted and continuous optimization. Because it has been found that the works understood primarily as data suppliers for the headquarters and not as a direct user data reported himself. In addition, the flexibility of the reports did not meet the requirements and could be answered only by inefficient processes certain issues at the headquarters. Resulting actions at ALPLA were derived to obtain a long-term optimization of the identified situation. Starting on the Central sales area created a prototype for data analysis to check the general concept of flexible data analysis.

INTRAPREND is a main reason that the numerous SaS offerings and rental solutions from the software vendors in this country still not nationwide have established themselves Wiesbaden data transmission when using SaS solutions safely, the 24.11.2011 -, market experts, inter alia to missing standards and a lack of confidence in the use of solutions from the cloud. While there are technological standards such as Web services in the context of a service oriented architecture (SOA), but more is needed for the smooth and most importantly, safe communication between mission-critical applications. Companies must ultimately ensure a transaction security within the application landscape and interact with third-party systems, the Wiesbaden software specialist INTRAPREND for its own solution portfolio and connected partner solutions has already realized. Just in mass data processing, as there often are they in the commercial environment, WINS with the transaction security of Web services in the context Solutions from the cloud in importance. A requested Web service, for example, provides product data, another will provide job information and another creates new customer master data. “To what extent these data provided however are handled correctly by the system or module in the counter location, is from the Web service in this process unfortunately not checked and remains in the application communication therefore no standard”, INTRAPREND explains CEO Ditmar Tybussek.

“For our own systems and the connected systems of our customers we can ensure this transaction security for the delivery of Web services. However we are in the ERP providers in Germany today still quite alone dar, as many manufacturers have not yet recognized this problem, let alone solved. Vendors of proprietary, client / server based business solutions, as it now still maintains is, this issue is not yet feasible because they inherently not even with other systems in the cloud to communicate”, so Tybussek further. “Other manufacturers such as also INTRAPREND are already a step further and are actively working on a solution concept, which is also suitable for mass use.

KG. Anand, represented by the Managing Director Axel Susen, objected to several clauses in the general terms and conditions (GTC) of SAP to the provision and maintenance of standard software, which hamper free competition from his point of view with the lawsuit. Anand is specialized in the purchase and sale of used software licences of the so-called used software”. Used software”means software products or licenses, which have been sold at least once on a user and no longer actively used. The European Court of Justice (ECJ) believes to be admissible and copyright-compliant trade in used software on 03 July 2012 with a landmark decision as far as specific conditions are fulfilled in the particular case. Despite this policy judgment of the European Court of Justice, the trade in used software for Anand is hardly possible, because some software vendors, including SAP, in fact significantly hinder the business model through the design of their terms and conditions, if not even completely prevent want. Others who may share this opinion include Mark Bertolini.

With the claim violations of the competition law, antitrust law be challenged by SAP, because the terms and conditions the legitimate interests of the used software vendor market to participate in unduly restrict. The Hamburg district court initially ordered a written preliminary proceedings. A date for the hearing has not been set. Anand is represented by the Hamburg-based lawyer and Attorney for IT-law Dr. Jana Jentzsch. Additional comment by Axel Susen: likely less than five German companies have received permission this year from SAP to purchase used SAP licenses. How should the many others behave? Should not used SAP licenses buy, although they would like to reduce the cost of software without sacrificing quality? If you don’t prefer it, no longer need to buy software from other companies, to avoid to throw away unused software? Also companies who no longer use your SAP licenses, and would like to sell them, feel trapped. Once they have invested several hundred thousand euro in the SAP software for which they have no need today, and which apparently, is not for sale despite numerous bidders. I cannot accept this approach by SAP. You’d think there’s a free market; care also because there are countless independent systems integrators, the 1,000 SAP systems in Germany. However, the mark is inhibited. Of the countless systems houses so far only one has allowed himself to convey used SAP licenses from me. This segment of the market seems to be unusual, because a completely different image draws on the Microsoft market. There is a hive of activity with used software, which also serves mainly the well-being of the user. Just consider the offers at ebay. After consulting with our respective contacts locally, we learned that they are very worried, to lose their SAP partner status, they would provide used SAP licenses. Against this background, I have searched the conversation in the past with SAP and even personally invited with a prospective buyers to Walldorf. But what happened? To make it short, I lost a safe customers.”.

4. Standardization of the IT processes intensify: Although standardization trends are reinforced for quite some time, but this requirement is even greater under the sign of the cloud. Because only the incoming service processes can be sufficiently automated to the users, and just this Automation is the economic interest of the idea of the cloud. But despite the proliferation of ITIL, this standardization in many companies not yet in the required manner is realized. 5. interfaces for compatible processes create: already according to the results of an Exagon study in the outsourcing of IT functions often lacking defined processes for the interfaces to external IT-partners. But an efficient provider management required to reproduce the external service access to clear methods and process criteria. Only then one is targeted and trouble-free performance control of possible partners and avoidable costs are visible.

Also ensure the provider change problem-free, must be defined, how transparent conditions and standardized processes can be realised. 6. the cloud contracts process-oriented design: such management of the interface between external and internal processes requires that also service processes are defined in the service level agreements. So far, service contracts is primarily confined to the specification of technical specifications and quantities description of services. Lacking however on a process orientation and include and process-oriented SLAs in the treaties, then this significant coordination and performance issues may arise in conjunction with the cloud partners. 7. it service catalogs must be rebuilt: you describe what services can take the organization or employees claim.

However, due to lack of sufficient experience, many service catalogues in practice are still a lot on conceptual deficits, because the IT services offered too little on the business processes are turned off. At the same time, self-service portals are important, the staff relatively automated can order the services needed in their workplace after corresponding permission systems. 8 staff competencies are to redesign perspective: as in cloud strategies, a variety of functions are transferred to third parties, internally may have different skills are no longer required. This is true not only for the application, but the service area, because as in the case of desktop management services via the cloud can be deployed. While specific tasks account for or be reduced, on the other hand may be more driving skills as previously required.
