2745	The Power of IT http://www.the-power-of-it.com
	There's more to IT than technology! Yes, IT involves computers, software, and services, but good IT synthesizes these elements with a concentration on how your organization can best meet its goals. Increasingly, the IT department is the hub of any company-and companies expect IT managers to accomplish a variety of tasks with limited resources. Thus, CIOs must hone their organizational and managerial skills to run the most effective program possible. Join author Jan De Sutter as he details the range of methodologies necessary for effective IT management, from how to align your IT department with the mission of your organization to how to measure and present the results of your work.

2328	Solving Information Integration Challenges In A Service-Oriented Enterprise: a ZapThink white paper http://metamatrix.com/l3_whtpprs.jsp
	The most advanced Enterprise Information Integration (EII) solutions, in combination with Service-Oriented Integration (SOI), provides consolidated access to information and simplified application development through the isolation of the complexities of accessing data from multiple sources. While SOI addresses the integration of application, systems, and processes, bi-directional metadata and model-based EII approaches provide the underlying information integration that allows for coherent access to disparate information.

1970	Email: Friend, Foe, or Both? http://www.BridgeHeadSoftware.com/download/MSWP_FriendorFoe.pdf
	It is almost impossible to over-estimate the impact that the email explosion is going to have on storage demands. Almost everyone in business is a prolific email user. Because electronic communication is becoming a standard, "email" is achieving the same legal and commercial status as other written communications. People send and receive emails dozens of times a day, something that didn't happen with letters. These emails make commitments, state intentions, and clarify commercial issues. Where might this take us? Read this report to learn more about how the email explosion will affect storage demand. Or visit our website for further information at www.BridgeHeadSoftware.com.

1969	The Legal Admissibility of Electronic Information http://www.BridgeHeadSoftware.com/download/MSWP_LegalAdmissibility.pdf
	With the growth of the use of email and e-commerce, paper originals are no longer the basis on which recordsd are held. In fact, evidence of a message or transaction may never have existed in a hard copy form. In this case, can electronic evidence be used in court in the event of a dispute? This white paper reviews some of these international issues, and provides links to a number of valuable data sources. The approach discussed is also applicable to areas where legal admissibility is not necessarily an issue, but where it is still an imperative to be able to demonstrate that the electronic records are authentic. Aspects such as availability, legibility, completeness, integrity, and origination will need to be demonstrable. Click on the link above for a direct link to this white paper.

1968	Effective Email Retention Policies http://www.BridgeHeadSoftware.com/download/MSWP_EmailRetention.pdf
	In most cases today, the difference between the retention habits for important electronic documents and hard copies is obvious. The hard copy is usually filed when the transaction is complete, in an appropriate and timely manner. These hard copies are often removed from the file and destroyed at some point in the future, after they have served their purpose. However, the email version of the same document is usually handled in a very different way. Click on this white paper for a discussion of some of the issues surrounding email retention and controlled destruction. Or, for further information, visit our website at www.BridgeHeadSoftware.com.

1883	Roadmap to Successful Outsourcing http://www.spc.ca/sdmout
	Outsourcing parts of software development and maintenance activities is becoming a competitive imperative. According to research by the Gartner Group, 75% of all Information Technology (IT) companies will outsource parts of their IT efforts by 2003. With the pressure to convert in-house development departments into smaller units to leverage on-demand use of global, virtual teams, a new set of business practices is needed to cope. Some of the traditional business practices won’t work with this new paradigm. New development processes must be adopted or the transition to a distributed model will fail. Just like any other paradigm shift, this transition is fraught with risks. Companies are in a dilemma: the decision not to become an early adopter will put them at a disadvantage but jumping on the bandwagon of virtual teams may temporarily increase their project risk. Outsourcing is not a silver bullet. In fact, it can backfire if it is not well prepared and carefully executed. Any software project, even when executed in-house, is a challenge and these challenges are compounded when external contractors are used. The following discusses proven techniques that are essential for a successful transition. For more information about outsourcing development go to the SPC website at www.spc.ca.

1881	The Value of EssentialSET Enterprise http://www.spc.ca/sdmee
	Do any of these situations sound familiar? You are in a company that has had to reduce staff and work towards a very tight budget; your company’s wild success has driven significant growth but you just can’t seem to get closure on projects the way you used to; you are working with clients that have strong demands about the level of documentation and standards you are required to have in place in your project; or you find that you have to reinvent the wheel each time someone leaves because key information is lost along with that person. These and many other issues in the software industry can be traced to a single root cause: Anecdotal recollection of events and agreements is a dangerous way to run a business, and there will come a time when that approach will get you into hot water. Chances are that it already has – the average project overrun in the software industry is 122%. Contrary to popular belief, there is actually benefit in following some of the supposedly “heavy” standards that drive the industry. This paper explains the value in leveraging EssentialSET Enterprise to help you deal with all of these issues in your organization.

1880	Why Planning is Better with Estimation than Without http://www.spc.ca/sdmest
	This paper presents a practical approach to estimation and improving the project planning process that can be that can be immediately adopted and applied in your organization. The benefits of this planning process: it’s easy and quick to use; it supports and speeds up the iterative nature of the project planning phase; it allows the organization to focus on the project problem rather than the political organization; the whole organization is in agreement at the end of the project planning process; it exposes risk and allows the organization to manage it at the outset; highlights the true nature of the relationship between Target and Estimate; sets the project up for success at the outset.; and it’s a significant improvement over the current practice for many organizations. When combined with an automated estimation tool such as ESTIMATE Professional you are well on your way to ensuring that your most important project will not be your last.

1879	A Business Case for Improved Project Practices http://www.spc.ca/sdmroi
	Though most IT organizations could benefit from changes to their approach to building software, few are able to attempt change. Even fewer manage to sustain the effort to realize the benefits. One of the reasons for maintaining the status quo is that the true costs of poor practices are seldom quantified, let alone exposed to most decision makers. This paper describes an approach for quantifying the costs associated with inefficiencies that most development groups consider normal. It shows that with very modest improvement goals, significant savings can be achieved. This business case affirms that most groups should start on the improvement path today.

1517	Training and Software Process Quality http://www.martinig.ch/ae/training.html
	In the changing software engineering industry, training is needed to keep pace with the release of new tools and techniques, to get the right skills to handle promotions in the project management track or simply to get the most out of the new release of a software development environment. Sadly, training can often be considered as the "lost benefit" of the software development jobs. You will often hear a lot about it in the offers or the interviews, but you will have few occasions to enjoy it in regular jobs... Bad luck, as it seems that organisations that offer more training to their software development employees enjoy a higher quality for their software development process.
