An EBS Retirement Party - You're Uninvitedeprentise
Not long ago, IT may have stood for Innovative Technology. Today's economic climate has caused a shift: budgets became constricted, dollars were redirected, and much of the collective investment that would have previously been thrown at innovation was thwarted by cost-cutting initiatives geared toward maintaining both existing enterprise applications as well as the status quo. As a result, the functionality of enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems such as Oracle's E-Business Suite (EBS) suffered due to management's focus on the present (time to results - regardless of the quality) rather than on the future (time to value).

Increasing Business Productivity in Connected Enterprises and an Always-On Di...Cognizant
To remain competitive, businesses must enhance productivity through a connected enterprise set of solutions. We offer a roadmap and set of tools for insuring that Gen-Now workers obtain the stateless, limitless and boundaryless computing that they need and expect in an always-on digital business world.
Techniques to optimize the pagerank algorithm usually fall in two categories. One is to try reducing the work per iteration, and the other is to try reducing the number of iterations. These goals are often at odds with one another. Skipping computation on vertices which have already converged has the potential to save iteration time. Skipping in-identical vertices, with the same in-links, helps reduce duplicate computations and thus could help reduce iteration time. Road networks often have chains which can be short-circuited before pagerank computation to improve performance. Final ranks of chain nodes can be easily calculated. This could reduce both the iteration time, and the number of iterations. If a graph has no dangling nodes, pagerank of each strongly connected component can be computed in topological order. This could help reduce the iteration time, no. of iterations, and also enable multi-iteration concurrency in pagerank computation. The combination of all of the above methods is the STICD algorithm. [sticd] For dynamic graphs, unchanged components whose ranks are unaffected can be skipped altogether.

As Europe's leading economic powerhouse and the fourth-largest hashtag#economy globally, Germany stands at the forefront of innovation and industrial might. Renowned for its precision engineering and high-tech sectors, Germany's economic structure is heavily supported by a robust service industry, accounting for approximately 68% of its GDP. This economic clout and strategic geopolitical stance position Germany as a focal point in the global cyber threat landscape.
In the face of escalating global tensions, particularly those emanating from geopolitical disputes with nations like hashtag#Russia and hashtag#China, hashtag#Germany has witnessed a significant uptick in targeted cyber operations. Our analysis indicates a marked increase in hashtag#cyberattack sophistication aimed at critical infrastructure and key industrial sectors. These attacks range from ransomware campaigns to hashtag#AdvancedPersistentThreats (hashtag#APTs), threatening national security and business integrity.
🔑 Key findings include:
🔍 Increased frequency and complexity of cyber threats.
🔍 Escalation of state-sponsored and criminally motivated cyber operations.
🔍 Active dark web exchanges of malicious tools and tactics.
Our comprehensive report delves into these challenges, using a blend of open-source and proprietary data collection techniques. By monitoring activity on critical networks and analyzing attack patterns, our team provides a detailed overview of the threats facing German entities.
This report aims to equip stakeholders across public and private sectors with the knowledge to enhance their defensive strategies, reduce exposure to cyber risks, and reinforce Germany's resilience against cyber threats.
1. Technology Perspectives
Technology platforms for
business integration
Seeking new paths to growth
Successful businesses constantly seek growth, and they follow many different paths to growth over time. In recent
years, many companies have chosen to grow through acquisition due to market conditions, industry pressure, or
simply because suitable opportunities arose.
While the purpose of an acquisition may be to support growth, the goals of an acquisition are only achievable by
successfully combining the operations and finances of the two entities. That process begins by integrating the IT
infrastructure of the acquired company. Unfortunately, many business software products, especially ERP platforms,
rely on outdated architecture that impedes the successful integration of newly acquired companies. That’s why it’s
essential for companies to consider the readiness of their IT infrastructure as they consider the possibility of
acquiring or being acquired by another company.
2. 2Technology Perspectives
The challenge of integration
Sometimes companies pursue acquisitions for
strategic reasons, and other times because of unique
combinations of trends, such as the current expansion
in the US economy or a need to expand to new
geographies. In nearly all cases, though, the value of
an acquisition results from successfully combining the
businesses financially and operationally. Integrating
the participating companies’ IT systems is often the
prerequisite to a successful merger, but that task can
be more complex than it sounds. In addition to having
to reconcile myriad details with respect to accounting
categories and financial structures, there’s an inherent
time pressure that comes with the need to keep both
businesses operating while you perform the
equivalent of a “brain transplant” involving both firms’
most critical intelligence.
Many widely-used enterprise-grade ERP and financial
systems still rely on technologies and architectures
that prevailed in the Y2K era—monolithic, proprietary
architectures that weren’t built with an eye toward
integration or to accommodate a multi-vendor IT
environment. As a result, the typical connection routes
between applications of that era depend on either
cumbersome, point-to-point, hard-coded integrations
or laborious extract-transform-load (ETL) processes.
Hard-coded integrations can take a long time to
implement, and they break when either system is
upgraded. Using ETL to import and export data
between systems tends to be slow and error-prone.
How postmodern
ERP systems offer
a new approach
As new technologies have emerged, modern
business software architectures now make it possible
for companies to assemble an IT platform that
streamlines the process of integrating many different
solutions to boost business flexibility and give firms
more choices about how they run their businesses.
The ability to efficiently incorporate a newly acquired
business is only one of the benefits of this trend.
Some experts use the term “postmodern ERP” to
describe the current generation of business solutions
that are built around up-to-date cloud technologies to
create loosely coupled platforms that can easily
integrate best-of-breed solutions to solve specific
business problems.

3. 3Technology Perspectives
It’s now incumbent on business leaders to examine
their technology choices to be sure that their IT
infrastructure incorporates a business integration
platform with several key characteristics:
■ Easy exchange of open source business
documents—Rather than constrain the business to
the protocols of a single vendor, be sure that
technology is as widely compatible as possible
with other vendors’ solutions.
■ Service-oriented delivery—A business integration
platform delivered as a service makes it much
easier to disseminate the definition and
harmonization of business rules across many
different kinds of systems, so that you can maintain
consistency across the enterprise.
■ Separation between data structures and
business rules—By keeping these issues separate,
a business retains the flexibility, standardization,
and speed necessary to integrate different
business units, while maintaining full visibility across
the enterprise.
With a responsive, fully-integrated IT platform, leaders
of merged businesses gain the ability to apply
consistent financial governance across the enterprise.
It also gives financial officers, controllers, and business
unit managers clear, consistent information that can
help accelerate the close process and deliver reliable
information for reporting or decision-making.
Seeing the benefits
of integration
This approach gives a business significant
improvements in agility and consistency. For example,
it allows companies to define their corporate
accounting framework (CAF) to improve adherence to
corporate, local, and government standards, and
provides that ability to merge or split general leger
transactions to allow proper allocations to cost centers
and leads to more accurate, up-to-date information for
reporting and analysis.
As a result, it becomes vastly simpler to apply
consistent business rules across all subsidiaries and
establish a basis for a well-orchestrated corporation
with clear strategic focus. With a modern integration
platform, businesses position themselves for better
performance in the long run, while making it simpler to
execute acquisitions that close smoothly and deliver
their intended benefits.
