The document summarizes the evolution of list fulfillment systems over four generations from manually intensive processes to more automated online systems. In the first generation, brokers would request counts from managers who would contact service bureaus. Counts were provided on paper and the process was error-prone. The second generation saw the introduction of the List Order Fulfillment System (LOFS) in 1976, which allowed online counts. However, disparities in service bureau technologies remained a challenge. The third generation saw some systems move online but capabilities were still limited. The fourth generation saw widespread adoption of online list fulfillment systems utilizing modern database technologies, allowing counts to be provided more quickly and easily.
Streamlining a Small Business Service Delivery Process – A Case StudyEquilibria, Inc.
When small businesses bite off more than they can chew, they usually end up over-promising and under-delivering. Because of this they struggle to fulfill existing volume leading to brand dilution and a ruined customer experience. This case study shows how to keep your reputation for excellence intact by increasing customer loyalty through high quality, consistent work output.
The document discusses conducting social media audits as part of pre-employment background checks for new hires. It notes that while social media is beneficial for networking, some people share too much personal information online. Background checks typically include employment and criminal history verification, but now the FTC allows checking applicants' online histories as well. Social media audits can reveal both positive information like community involvement as well as negative information like racist posts. Using a third party service protects employers from legal issues and allows applicants to dispute inaccurate findings. The article argues social media audits provide useful additional information to make informed hiring decisions.

No dia 30 de abril de 2008 estiveram na escola, a Professora Suely Angelo Furlan e a equipe de filmagem da TV Cultura, para realizar um video com os alunos da 8ªsérie, que participaram do projeto Meu endereço no Planeta Terra, realizado pelas professoras: Silmara Maria Cruz Paiva e Marly Navas Soriano no ano de 2006.
Foi um dia muito diferente para os alunos, que se empolgaram com as luzes, microfones, participando ativamente de toda dinâmica da filmagem.
Agradecemos a toda equipe de filmagem da TV Cultura, em especial ao Ricardo (diretor) pela paciência e pelas orientações de cena.
Agradecemos também aos alunos pela participação neste evento mostrando a todos um comportamento exemplar e total conhecimento do que foi ensinado, vocês como sempre estão de parabéns.
- Barrisol is an exclusive distributor of stretch ceilings in Southern California with factory-trained staff and in-house installation crews.
- Stretch ceilings are made of flexible PVC sheets that are cut and welded together to fit ceiling dimensions and shapes. They are installed using tension rails and are waterproof and unaffected by humidity.
- Benefits include eliminating cracks and seams, allowing different colors and designs, providing acoustic absorption, and allowing for integration of lights and other fixtures. Installation is a clean process and ceilings can take on complex shapes.
The document discusses the author's experience with knowledge management (KM) over 8 years at SRA and outlines some of the challenges they observed. Key points include:
1) KM involves not just information but how people learn and apply knowledge within an organizational culture.
2) Many organizations struggle with information sharing and lack focused efforts to improve interagency situational awareness.
3) Applying KM practices in the public sector faces additional challenges due to its extended enterprise of citizens, government agencies, and regulatory bodies.
Visual analytics can help reveal corruption, fraud, waste and abuse through concise summaries of complex data relationships. Tools like word clouds, social network diagrams, and purchase order charts can highlight anomalies that may indicate wrongdoing more easily than traditional spreadsheets. These techniques allow hypotheses to be explored and tested visually for quicker insights.

This document discusses improving data quality for marketing effectiveness. Typical data problems include duplicate records, incomplete data, and incorrect data. Marketing benefits from quality data through having an accurate view of customers to effectively target communications. The best way to address data quality is as close to the source as possible, such as validating data during web form submissions. Various opportunities for cleansing data exist, such as during transactional updates, from external data feeds, when migrating legacy data, and through regular maintenance of existing data. Ensuring high quality data is important for marketing success.

lower costs and re-
duced workforces. As the pace of technological
innovation has intensified over the past two de-
cades, businesses have come to expect that the next
new thing will inevitably bring them larger market
opportunities and bigger profits. Software, a tech-
nology so invisible and obscure to most of us that it
appears to work like magic, especially lends itself to
this kind of open-ended hope.
Software promises evolutions, revolutions and
even transformations in how companies do busi-
ness. The triumphant vision many buy into is that
enterprise software in large organizations is fully
integrated and intelligently controls infinitely com-
plex business processes while remaining flexible
enough to adapt to changing business needs. This
vision of software lies at the core of what Thomas
Friedman in “The World Is Flat” calls “the Wal-
Mart Symphony in multiple movements — with
no finale. It just plays over and over 24/7/365.”1
Whole systems march in lock step, providing syn-
chronized, fully coordinated supply chains,
production lines and services, just like a world-
class orchestra. From online web orders through
fulfillment, delivery, billing and customer service
— the entire enterprise, organized end to end —
that has been the promise. The age of smart
machines would seem to be upon us.
Or is it? While a few companies like Wal-Mart
Stores Inc. have achieved something close to that
ideal, the way most large organizations actually
process information belies that glorious vision and
reveals a looking-glass world, where everything is
in fact the opposite of what one might expect.
Back-office systems — including both software ap-
plications and the data they process — are a
variegated patchwork of systems, containing 50 or
more databases and hundreds of separate software
programs installed over decades and intercon-
nected by idiosyncratic, Byzantine and poorly
documented customized processes. To manage this
growing complexity, IT departments have grown
substantially: As a percentage of total investment,
IT rose from 2.6% to 3.5% between 1970 and 1980.2
By 1990 IT consumed 9%, and by 1999 a whopping
22% of total investment went to IT. Growth in IT
spending has fallen off, but it is nonetheless sur-

1) The document discusses the differences between a CMDB and a CMS, noting that a CMDB is a misnomer and organizations should migrate to a configuration management system (CMS) as described in ITILv3.
2) A CMS contains multiple "CMDBs" or management data repositories (MDRs) that are linked through federation to provide an accurate view of IT services, infrastructure, and configurations.
3) Achieving an accurate unified CMDB is difficult, but a federated CMS that leverages discovery tools and change management can provide pockets of accurate data across different MDRs to support IT decisions better than ambiguous unified data.
This document discusses the limitations of relying solely on data systems of record for customer engagement and service delivery. Systems of record only contain historical transaction data and do not consider real-time data, incomplete data, or data from other sources which are important for customer service. Additionally, systems of record are not well-suited for managing back-office staff. The document argues that companies need an omnichannel engagement strategy that leverages both systems of record and systems of engagement.
Tackling the ticking time bomb – Data Migration and the hidden risksHarley Capewell
Data migration is intrinsic to most big IT projects and yet
as an industry we have a poor record of tackling it.
If you are faced with responsibility for an IT project where
there will be some element of data migration then this
white paper written by industry expert Johny Morris will
help guide you past the pitfalls that await the unwary and
even how to add value as a consequence of performing
this necessary task.
Jonathan Green, VP of Information Technology at Denmat Holdings, talks about why they chose FinancialForce.com for their move to the cloud. Financial processes and invoice creation automated and instant. Errors associated with spreadsheets are a thing of the past. Reporting is enhanced and accurate through use of a single Force.com system. Sales teams are benefiting from access to information they didn’t have before.
The document discusses a 7-step approach to aligning business processes with application development. The steps include: 1) Committing IT resources to participate in process improvement projects. 2) Educating IT on current processes before detailed process mapping sessions. 3) Conducting value stream mapping sessions with IT to extract requirements and improve understanding. 4) Involving IT in root cause analysis. 5) Creating an ideal "to-be" process without constraints. 6) Using agile development methods to quickly build prototypes. 7) Continuing the cycle of process and technology improvements. The approach aims to close knowledge gaps and reduce communication issues between business and IT.

The passage discusses ethical issues surrounding human testing in medical research. It notes that while testing is needed to further discoveries, some view it as unethical due to safety concerns for those being tested. However, established standards and procedures can help ensure ethical testing is conducted. The passage also discusses how diseases may impair judgement and discusses a chapter from a book related to this topic.
The document provides information about the book "Middlesex" by Jeffry Eugenides. It summarizes that the book is about a character named Calliope Stephanides who was born with a condition called 5 Alpha Reductase pseudohermaphroditism. This affected his sexual development before and during puberty. Due to incestuous family traditions, Cal was conceived by cousins, which contributed to his condition. He was raised as a girl until age 16, though he was biologically male. Incest in his family lineage played a role in Cal's sexual development.

This document discusses the gap between reported service levels and actual user experience of those services. It examines how this gap can develop due to incorrect measurement and reporting of service levels. The key points are:
1) Service level reports often focus on simple metrics like incident volumes that don't capture the true impact on users.
2) Goals and measurements may not be properly defined, leading IT and business units to think they are measuring the same thing when they are not.
3) Common metrics like availability can be misleading if they don't account for usability factors like performance that impact the user experience.
4) Dashboards and reports must be scrutinized to ensure they provide the necessary context and
What is the Future of Voice & Collaboration in Financial Services?Telstra_International
Financial firms that trade via voice are coming under increased commercial and regulatory
pressure to unify voice activities with other communication channels. The idea is to enable efficient
collaboration both internally - whether it involves the front, middle or back office - and externally
with clients, counterparties and regulators, wherever they may be. The number of communication
systems at a single bank or IDB, however, can be staggering. Can they streamline and improve
collaboration solutions across a range of devices, particularly as more and more voice and
messaging services are IP-based and available via the cloud and hosted solutions? How can they
leverage technology to gain maximum business benefit? There are a plethora of ways that market
participants can answer both questions. But there are two words specialists say firms need to keep
in their mind at all times: Think Holistically!
2008-0207 - DatacCenter Journal - Myths of the CMDBMichele Hudnall
This article discusses common myths about configuration management databases (CMDBs). It begins by providing background on the growth of CMDBs and why they are needed to help organizations better manage frequent IT changes. It then addresses four common myths: 1) A CMDB is only an internal IT project rather than providing business benefits. 2) Process improvement should be completed before implementing tools. 3) Asset management databases alone can serve as a CMDB. 4) A CMDB needs a single centralized database rather than a coordinated view across systems. The article argues that CMDBs should focus on improving IT services for business users and that tools can help improve processes.
The document discusses the evolution of XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language) data reporting standards over time. It begins by noting that while XBRL became mandatory in 2009 and was meant to allow vast data analysis, the reality was lower quality data due to a lack of SEC enforcement and many confusing filer extensions. However, in recent years initiatives like the XBRL US Data Quality Committee have improved data integrity. The SEC's adoption of Inline XBRL is seen as an important step to improve quality by eliminating separate reporting of financial data. While progress has been made, experts say the SEC could further improve implementation by focusing on data quality enforcement and allowing additional taxonomy uses.
