Having access to the most accurate, up-to-date corporate information, and the ability to easily collaborate on that information gives organizations the means to make decisions that drive the most positive business outcomes. Collaboration and content sharing are not, of course, new concepts. But cloud computing has changed the nature of collaboration, content sharing, document storage and project management to enable more efficient, faster-acting and cost-effective enterprises. http://www.itoamerica.com/index.php?section=pdf&id=1684&name=Balancing+Security%2C+Compliance+and+Cost%3A+the+Prescription+for+Healthcare+Email+Management%3A+Move+to+the+Cloud Learn how cloud-based technologies for core productivity tools such as email and collaboration can help healthcare organizations be more efficient with IT dollars and focus on strategic initiatives such as the EMR. http://www.itoamerica.com/index.php?section=pdf&id=1685&name=Email+Archives%3A+No+Longer+Fit+for+Purpose%3F This paper examines the difficulties and pain points that organizations encounter as they seek to straddle the conflicting pressures of ever increasing email volumes on one hand, and the need for faster, more flexible accessibility on the other.

Gone are the days when one or two central systems could meet all of the organization's IT needs. We now have more departmental applications, collaboration and sharing environments, and even cloud-based services in the mix, with access via desktops, laptops, tablets and smartphones that can each store data in their own right. Against this background, are we in danger of losing control of our business information? http://www.itoamerica.com/index.php?section=pdf&id=1688&name=The+Client+Mandate+on+Security+ Like most other organizations, law firms face new challenges every day when protecting their confidential information.

They have long been required to secure private information due to legal and regulatory requirements. Email is a key area of a firm's IT infrastructure when it comes to vigilance for security and governance. http://www.itoamerica.com/index.php?section=pdf&id=1698&name=The+Timeline+of+a+Spear-Phishing+Attack+on+Your+Organization In The Spear-Phishing Attack Timeline, you'll get an inside look at the anatomy of a spear-phishing attack.

This research looks to identify how cloud is driving innovation, growth and competitive advantage in Europe. http://www.itoamerica.com/index.php?section=pdf&id=1737&name=How+Faster+Database+Recovery+Reduces+Your+Risk Aberdeen's analysis shows that an engineered systems approach to data protection - as exemplified by the Oracle Zero Data Loss Recovery Appliance - Increases the rate of recovery from unplanned disruptions to business-critical applications and data by 1.5 times to 3.3 times, as compared to traditional incremental backups, with a median of 2.5 times. http://www.itoamerica.com/index.php?section=pdf&id=1738&name=Reducing+Risk+in+the+Face+of+Cyberattacks+and+Data+Loss+Exposure Enterprises like yours face the growing risk of cyberattacks, which increases your exposure to the risk of data loss. One of the most menacing forms of these is ransomware, where your data is encrypted and literally held ransom—until you pay cybercriminals to release it, or you recover your data from a point in time before your systems were attacked. Such attacks and data losses make headlines —damaging your organization’s reputation. And with new regulations concerning data protection coming into force (such as those introduced by the US Department of the Treasury and the European Union) failing to prepare for a quick recovery from a cyberattack could mean serious financial penalties. http://www.itoamerica.com/index.php?section=pdf&id=1739&name=Protecting+the+Digital+Enterprise Enterprise data protection has grown unwieldy, with systems from various vendors claiming to protect all of an enterprise’s data—and none of them doing a particularly good job of addressing mission-critical data recoverability requirements. It’s a situation that introduces risk and raises concerns about IT’s ability to recover in a timely manner and without data loss from outages caused by cybercrime, system failures, or human error. An integrated strategy that focuses on the complete data recovery needs of an enterprise can eliminate data loss, cut recovery times, and reduce IT complexity—while ensuring data security and positioning the enterprise to seamlessly take advantage of the cloud
