 Building the Case for a .NET BRMS
Complex or frequently changing decision logic makes business rules difficult and expensive to author and maintain. Business Rule Management Systems (BRMS) streamline business processes and make them easier to maintain by separating business logic from application code. With the right authoring tools, such as MS Word plug-ins, a BRMS enables Subject Matter Experts (SME) to help IT in maintaining key business logic in a structured, managed environment. Meanwhile, IT is enabled with strong tools to manage rules along with their other application artifacts, leveraging their .NET skills and familiar tools like Visual Studio and easily integrating into their .NET infrastructure.

For IT to impact the other 98% requires a new paradigm - one in whichsoftware is the key to realizing energy efficiencies throughout the organization - dramatically reducingenvironmental impact and energy costs. This paper explores optimization strategies around the key areas ofpeople, workloads and infrastructure, including entry points, relevant solutions, and demonstrated benefitsbeing achieved today with IBM Software solutions. Utilization of these capabilities can help you meet theincreasing challenges of energy efficiency, cost containment and compliance. |  The Distributed Enterprise: Access and Management of Remote Office
While remote access software can address branch office problems, they only work if the OS and network function. Learn the value of out-of-band access and control tools, and why they’re a critical component of branch office networks. |  Smarter Sourcing AMS
The trend to move application development and maintenance work to lower cost resources has consumed much of the IT industry in recent years. The ease of moving work and the growing pools of globally-available qualified resources reinforce the feasibility of this model; however, outsourcing for less expensive labor alone does not provide enough value in today’s demanding economy. Smarter sourcing combines process-based effectiveness with the ability to leverage wage arbitrage selectively to yield better results at lower costs. |  Measuring Software Quality: A Study of Open Source Software
As part of a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) federally-funded analysis, a new baseline for security and quality in open source software has been established |
