In this webcast, we discuss how companies excel when they empower their people to drive the business forward. While strategies, organization, motivation, and leadership all set the stage for business success, you also have to give your people the right tools, information, and opportunities to see results—because ultimately success is determined by your people. Learn why we call a business that fosters a winning environment a "people-ready business."

From cars to factories to cities, many governments are already collecting information from citizens and connected devices that send and receive data over the internet of things (IoT). While analysts expect the IoT to soar to tens of billions of devices by 2020, no one knows how many or what new types of intelligent devices will emerge. But we do know that traditional approaches to data management and analytics may not be sufficient for sustaining value in this new, connected world
Databases and information management systems let you describe, categorize, store, modify and analyze data. What if you could do the same with decisions? Your systems could learn from previous choices and manipulate them to fit new parameters to intelligently mold future decisions made by executives, everyday business users and even your systems to optimize outcomes. Read this a specially selected excerpt from James Taylor's new book, "Decision Management Systems: A Practical Guide to Using Business Rules and Predictive Analytics" to discover the guiding principles for building decision management systems that can help your organization differentiate itself from the competition at virtually every decision point.
McAfee® Threat Intelligence Exchange and the McAfee Security Connected Platform can help integrate workflows and data to overcome siloed operations and shift the security model to agile, intelligent threat prevention. This paper describes three use cases to illustrate the benefits.

Intelligent N+X Redundancy, Placement Affinities, & Future Proofing in the Virtualized Data Center
Virtualization brought about the ability to simplify business continuity management in IT. Workload portability and data replication capabilities mean that physical infrastructure failures no longer need impact application services, and they can rapidly be recovered even in the event of complete site failure.
However, Enterprises and Service Providers face new challenges ensuring they have enough compute capacity in their virtualized data centers to support their business continuity requirements, while at the same time not over provisioning infrastructure capacity resulting in unnecessary capital expenditure.

An Intelligent Roadmap for Capacity Planning
Many organizations apply overly simplistic principles to determine requirements for compute capacity in their virtualized data centers. These principles are based on a resource allocation model which takes the total amount of memory and CPU allocated to all virtual machines in a compute cluster, and assumes a defined level of over provisioning (e.g. 2:1, 4:1, 8:1, 12:1) in order to calculate the requirement for physical resources.
Often managed in spreadsheets or simple databases, and augmented by simple alert-based monitoring tools, the resource allocation model does not account for actual resource consumption driven by each application workload running in the operational environment, and inherently corrodes the level of efficiency that can be driven from the underlying infrastructure.

Virtualization 1.0 vs. Virtualization 2.0: Where Are You?
Virtualization 1.0 is marked by the ability to virtualize, monitor, and react to problems across the environment as they occur. Ever cognizant of the performance limitations that typify higher workload densities, Virtualization 1.0 hesitates to virtualize the critical applications that would be most beneficial. Virtualization 1.0 is limited by the inherent complexities of virtualization.
Virtualization 2.0 is marked by complete, proactive control over the virtual environment. Virtualization 2.0 virtualizes up to 100% of its applications, guided by an intelligent abstraction that continually drives the environment to its desired state. Virtualization 2.0 is the promise of virtualization brought to fruition.
IT managers have indicated their two most significant challenges associated with managing unstructured data at multiple locations were keeping pace with data growth and improving data protection.

More than ever, marketers are being held accountable for demonstrating how marketing investments directly translate into sales. That’s why Modern Marketing is fueled by intelligent data analytics and reporting. Implementing the proper analytics systems can help you make critical decisions regarding which parts of your marketing efforts are working or not, and provide the reporting tools necessary to justify those decisions by connecting them directly with pipeline and revenue. By implementing systems for reporting and intelligence, you can better understand the impact that sales and marketing efforts are having on overall business. You then can refine strategies and develop repeatable processes for success.

In many organizations, the IT team ushered in the first generation of primitive mobility, issuing pagers to on-call teams and guardians of key corporate systems. And while today, the vast majority of our pagers have been upgraded to smart phones and intelligent devices, many of them are used for little more than prompting us to log into a desktop system or dial a phone. This paper outlines six strategies for extending mobile devices beyond notification to workflows and robust productivity tools within your IT organization.
Prepare your business for the future of customer service.
In a world where price and product can easily be matched, customer experience has become a key brand differentiator. It’s never been more important to understand customer expectations, perceptions, preferences, and trends.
The 2017 Microsoft State of Global Customer Service report found that customer service impacts brand choice and loyalty for 96% of consumers around the globe. The 32-page report offers insights from 5,000 survey participants.
Learn how you can stay ahead of the competition and earn customers for life with intelligent customer service. Find trend details and actionable data on:
The growing importance of service in a customer’s choice of or loyalty to a brand
The most important aspects of a good customer service experience
The most frustrating aspects of a poor customer service experience
Expectations of the millennial customer segment
Channel preferences based on geography
Customer expectations for self-serv
The Internet of Things (IoT) is composed of sensor-embedded devices and machines
that exchange data with each other and the cloud through a secure network.
Often referred to as “things” or “edge devices”, these intelligent machines
connect to the internet either directly or through an IoT gateway,
enabling them to send data to the cloud. Analyzing this data can reveal
valuable insights about these objects and the business processes
they’re part of, helping enterprises optimize their operations.
Devices in IoT deployments can span nearly any industry or use case.
Each one is equipped with sensors, processing power, connectivity,
and software, enabling asset control and other remote interactions
over the internet. Unlike traditional IT assets, these edge devices are
resource-constrained (either by bandwidth, storage, or processing
power) and are typically found outside of a data center, creating unique
security and management considerations.
As cybercriminals look for new ways to break through defenses, it’s vital that organizations have access to real-time operational intelligence across their applications, services, and security infrastructure. As Recreational Equipment, Inc. (REI) migrated applications to Amazon Web Services (AWS), it needed to expand security capacity for edge protection of its AWS VPCs. REI chose Splunk for security monitoring, historical analysis, and data visualization in real time, to help it investigate events and mitigate operational risks.
