The document summarizes key findings from an iPad for Business Survey conducted with IT and business professionals worldwide. It finds that professionals use their iPads more intensively than consumers, primarily for work-related tasks like web browsing, reading, and news consumption. While the iPad has partially replaced laptops and other devices for some, it is mainly used as a dual-purpose work and personal device. The survey also shows the iPad is driving shifts in how professionals consume content, with many buying fewer physical books, newspapers, and DVDs after acquiring an iPad.
iPad - Can it be Enabler of Pharma Field Force ExcellenceAnup Soans
This document discusses the potential for iPads to enable sales force excellence (SFE) in the pharmaceutical industry. It notes that iPads are widely used and can help pharmaceutical reps present information effectively and access answers to doctor questions instantly. However, some people argue that iPads are just tools and content is more important, entry of data can be difficult, and security and quality apps are concerns. For iPads to enable SFE, companies must address these issues and develop customized CRM/CLM solutions that integrate data collection and allow offline use. Training reps to effectively use iPads can help companies derive maximum benefits.
The document discusses the e-procurement systems of Honeywell and Vedanta. Honeywell implements SAP across its e-business applications. Vedanta manages procurement without SAP, keeping the system simple and costs low. The case study then provides details about Honeywell's history, products, IT solutions, and how its IT Services & Solutions division partners with businesses for technology applications and support.

The process of interaction design involves four basic activities: 1) identifying user needs and requirements, 2) developing alternative designs, 3) building prototypes, and 4) evaluating designs. User-centered design is based on early focus on users and tasks, empirical measurement through user testing, and iterative design to address problems found. Various lifecycle models show how these activities relate over the course of a project, with user involvement and evaluation at the core.
The document discusses key concepts in interaction design including usability principles, design principles, affordances, consistency, feedback and visibility. It explains that interaction design aims to develop usable products that involve users and optimize their experience through an understanding of activities, contexts and user needs. The design process requires evaluating prototypes and user testing to create satisfying, intuitive and enjoyable interactive experiences.
The document contains 15 programs demonstrating the use of PL/SQL blocks, functions, and cursors. Program 1 finds the maximum of 3 numbers. Program 2 calculates the sum of the first 100 natural numbers. Program 3 calculates the sum of the first 100 even and odd numbers separately. The remaining programs demonstrate additional PL/SQL concepts like cursors, functions, implicit cursors, table creation and manipulation.
This lab covers SQL functions like aggregate, date/time, and string functions. Queries will be written to display the current date, calculate salary increases, find the highest and lowest salaries, and display manager numbers and the salary of the lowest-paid employee for each manager earning over $6,000. Various SQL functions are investigated along with grouping, aggregation, and joins.
PL/SQL is a programming language that combines the SQL operations of querying and manipulating data in an Oracle database with the procedural language constructs of variables, conditions, and loops. PL/SQL can be used for database-side programming as well as client-side application development. It provides advantages like better performance, portability, higher productivity, and integration with Oracle. PL/SQL supports various data types, control structures, exception handling, and object-oriented programming features. Cursors allow processing of multiple rows returned from a SQL statement and can be static, dynamic, or reference types. Procedures and functions are reusable program units that allow passing parameters and returning values.
This document provides instructions for a practice in an Oracle Database 11g: PL/SQL Fundamentals course. It includes:
1. Instructions on setting up the workspace and creating a database connection in SQL Developer.
2. A multi-step practice assignment involving browsing database tables, writing SQL queries, and creating PL/SQL blocks with variables, comments, and logic.
3. Hints that the solutions to practices can be found in an appendix and that students should save their work in a provided labs folder.

Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) is impacting IT organizations today, whether they realize it or not. Either companies are providing employee incentives such as issuing smartphones or tablets, or employees are bringing their own devices to work. To make BYOD a great opportunity, forward thinking companies are embracing this trend and realizing the next significant increase in end-user productivity.
The key factors of success lie in managing the risk while enjoying the benefits of the consumerization of IT:
- Securing company data by securing applications and data
- Ensuring malware on employee devices cannot compromise company data or servers (hint: through app-level security, encryption, connectivity, VPN)
- Maintaining, but separating, the personal and professional data on employee devices

IBM BP Kickoff 2013 - Jan Horsager, IDCIBM Danmark
IDC is a market intelligence and advisory firm that helps organizations make technology purchase and strategy decisions. IDC has over 1000 analysts worldwide providing local and global expertise on technology trends in over 110 countries. By 2020, the IT industry is expected to grow to $5 trillion, with at least 80% of growth coming from third platform technologies like mobile, cloud, big data and social. Channel partners will need to transform to capture this growth by helping customers digitize processes and leverage new technologies.

The document summarizes the findings of CompTIA's 2013 study on enterprise mobility trends. Some key findings include:
- Productivity gains and allowing employee flexibility were the top drivers for companies adopting mobility solutions.
- Many companies take a mixed approach to device provisioning, providing some devices while also allowing BYOD.
- Security was identified as a major risk and top concern for mobile solutions. A lack of mobility skills among IT staff was also a challenge.
- Benefits of mobility included improved productivity, collaboration and ability to engage customers across locations.
- The document discusses a Forrester survey of 156 eCommerce leaders on their technology investments and challenges.
- Most retailers currently use home-grown or licensed on-premise solutions, but cloud solutions are gaining popularity among smaller retailers.
- Retailers have ambitious growth plans for global expansion and mobile, but have low confidence that their current solutions can scale to meet future needs.
- The survey aimed to understand challenges with current platforms and determine true total costs of maintaining eCommerce technologies.

iPad and iPhone in the Business EnvironmentAsaf Segev
The document discusses how mobile devices like the iPad and iPhone are becoming increasingly integral to business processes. It notes that these devices are portable, easy to use, and instantly ready. The growth of cloud services, social media, and mobile internet access fuels the rise of mobile work. Tablets are replacing PCs and notebooks for many knowledge workers due to their simplicity and ability to improve employee motivation. While tablets are technically inferior to PCs, users prefer them because they place the human being at the center and allow for easy, intuitive work processes. The key to their success lies more in improving employee motivation than deeply integrating them into business processes.
