10 Steps to Reduce Complexity, Increase Transparency, and Get Value from you...eprentise

Increase Financial Firms' Sales Performance & Compliance with Compensation Ma...Perficient, Inc.

In this webinar, our experts covered:
-Challenges around sales performance, Dodd-Frank and compensation governance in financial services

Change has always been a constant in the financial industry but the recent financial crisis triggered an unprecedented rise in that rate of change. Today, increased regulation, greater demands for transparency, and new business channels require financial institutions to constantly be in reactive mode.
Financial institution executives realize the increasing pace of change is not temporary. They understand that this is a “new normal” that they must plan and prepare for. And they know that proactively developing a sound strategy for dealing with constant change begins with an honest look at the institution’s ability to deal with change.
The only way to improve change capacity is to build a strong foundation based in technology that is specifically designed to manage constant transformation.

Virtual Instruments - Infrastructure Performance Management White PaperJohn McDonald
Summary
Enterprise IT Agility Challenges Mission critical Federal IT application delivery infrastructures are being virtualized at a break-neck pace, and are increasingly abstracted and complex. Agile development means changes are continual, and these same infrastructures are required to deliver a flawless end-user experience characterized by hyper-responsive performance and availability.
Impediments to Aligning IT Organizations with Mission Goals Not having the right people, processes and technology solutions, and leveraging old technologies that weren’t purpose-built to handle today’s complex and ever-changing infrastructure, prevents IT from delivering mission-aligned service levels.
Infrastructure Performance Management (IPM) – a Platform to Ensure Federal IT Value IPM is a new platform category for managing the physical, virtual and cloud infrastructure.
Capabilities Required in an IPM Platform Key requirements include continuous, real-time, system-wide data collection from heterogeneous IT infrastructures, combined with unbiased correlation and analysis.
Benefits of an IPM platform Delivers ROI to Federal Agencies for both CAPEX and OPEX savings. Ensures optimal budget alignment. Guarantees performance, mitigates risk and aligns Federal IT infrastructures with agency application and mission requirements.
Virtual Instruments’ VirtualWisdom platform A comprehensive IPM platform providing 360o visibility into the performance, health and availability of the IT infrastructure
Real time responses to events will be feasible when enterprises are designed to be maneuverable and their flow of activity is not disrupted by a breakdown in any one component in the chain of business processes that enable the completion of an activity.
Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity for Your Clinical and Safety SystemsPerficient, Inc.
Your systems are up and running. You have no issues. It’s business as usual and all is as it should be. Then, suddenly, it’s not. A flood, an earthquake, a tornado or a fire threatens your organization’s ability to continue operating. Systems are offline, critical business processes have stalled. What damage has been inflicted? How long until you can recover? What do you do in the meantime? These are questions that no organization can properly answer without proper planning and testing.
The implications of an unplanned and unprepared-for event can be devastating to a company, as well as to the patients it serves. The only way to mitigate such risks is through comprehensive planning and testing.
Sean Bernard, lead business consultant in Perficient's life sciences practice, discussed why business continuity and disaster planning are so critical to life sciences companies, and shares best practices for preparing your company for the unforeseen.

Data Done Right: Ensuring Information IntegritySharala Axryd
It’s the ultimate “garbage in, garbage out” quandary. Data can be an organization’s most valuable asset — but only to the degree its quality can be validated and trusted. Without the right guidelines, processes, and solutions in place to control the way applications, systems, databases, messages, and documents are managed, "dirty" data can permeate systems across the enterprise, negatively impacting everything from strategic planning to day-to-day decision making. High-quality data will ensure more efficiency in driving a company’s success because of the dependence on fact-based decisions, instead of habitual or human intuition.
To gain a better understanding of this topic, this speaking session will examine:
- what data quality and master data management is
- why they are so crucial for successful business operations and strategies
- how to improve data quality by organizational, procedural and technological means
