| RFID Market Place—From Tags to Applications 2007/8 |
|
Much has been written about RFID over the last 5 years or so, but nowhere has there been a single report that covers the complete RFID component market from tags, both active and passive, through readers and printers, to middleware to application solutions.
In the face of this need for clear, comprehensive information about RFID and its benefits, Bloor Research has produced this market report in order to provide an overview of the complete RFID market from tags to applications. If read in conjunction with the Bloor Research white papers, which are included as a part of this package and which provide examples of the current state of RFID and how it could be used in an industry sector, it provides the user with a complete single source of information about RFID.

| Enterprise Spreadsheet Management |
|
Spreadsheets are mad, bad and dangerous to know! They can be used for multi-million dollar frauds and can result in losses and lawsuits of similar proportions (see www.eusprig.com) that derive from the errors and flaws that are commonplace within spreadsheets. And then there are the additional auditor's fees that you have to pay because of the proliferation of spreadsheets and because they are difficult to audit. At the same time, Sarbanes-Oxley and other regulations mean that you can go to jail if you do not properly audit and manage your spreadsheet environment.
But that is only the start of the problem, for even if you decide to get a handle on your spreadsheet mayhem there are still a significant number of products to be considered, which take a widely different approach to managing spreadsheets, and are available at widely different prices.
This report not only describes the problems that arise from uncontrolled and unmanaged spreadsheets but also discusses the various solutions that are available and the circumstances in which they will be most appropriate. It includes product evaluations of 16 related vendors and their products.

| Information Lifecycle Management |
|
To date there is no industry-wide definition for Information Lifecycle Management (ILM); it is also more a goal than a reality at present. What it is NOT is a single application or hardware and software portfolio. It sits at a higher level within an organization as a key approach to improving storage management and is dependent on active business management involvement in order that it can be effectively implemented.
In Bloor’s view, ILM means in practice: creating, implementing in software, and maintaining, policies for computer-based information that identify where the information should optimally be stored for retrieval according to its changing value to the organization.
This report provides an in-depth review of the ILM state of play. It describes why it has been so hard to implement, where it is today including the different vendor solutions currently available, and what you need to look for to meet your organization’s business needs. Most importantly, it describes some leading-edge vendor developments and storage standards work that is set to transform the ILM approach to electronic management of information in the near-term.

| Event Processing |

This report aims to make sense of the event processing market: looking not just at the technology and the suppliers thereof, but also the potential uses of event processing. In addition to vendor/product profiles, there are also discussions of a number of use cases as well as a more detailed consideration of the technology.
In addition, Bloor Research believes that event processing will become ubiquitous in large organizations over the next few years and this report also discusses why this is believed to be the case, and how the market is expected to develop.

| Creative B2B Marketing Campaigns |
|
While there is an abundance of research available that analyzes the return on investment and ICT’s (information and communication technology) application within effective business-to-consumer (B2C) technology marketing campaigns, there are few specific, detailed studies covering this important topic within business-to-business (B2B) markets. Therefore, how can ICT companies seek to promote their organizations and solutions, know how to create the most resonance from their marketing campaigns, and increase brand awareness and sales?
This report set out to provide ICT organization managers and directors, particularly marketers, with the knowledge of how to create better campaigns that can attain above average results.

| Corporate Performance Management |
|
Corporate Performance Management (CPM) solutions today focus on finance: Financial Consolidation, Budgeting and Planning, and Scorecards and Dashboards. This is understandable. Finance Departments need to handle the pressures for better and faster business performance numbers for regulatory compliance, transparency with stakeholders, and for business management. However, the CPM world is all set for radical change.
Enlightened CPM suppliers are re-positioning their offerings away from "only finance" and are embracing "enterprise performance management". These solutions model and measure not only the effects of actions across all enterprise departments, but also the underlying root causes and drivers using management methodologies like Balanced Scorecard. Performance Management software is set to become a means to provide business agility, alignment and accountability, not just finance metrics alone. OK, the vendors have talked about this for sometime - but the reality is that customers did not "buy into" the promise. Now the time is right as the business drivers and the technology readiness are aligned.
Bloor Research's Corporate Performance Management report introduces a fresh new way of looking at emerging customer requirements for CPM and profiles the solutions of the top 21 CPM technology providers. Using the graphic visualization of the unique Bullseye™ diagrams, Bloor provides insight into how the vendors position their products and services in the marketplace - and how they compare in 10 different areas - be they implementation, support, or value for money for example. This report will prove to be an invaluable guide for end users evaluating suppliers' CPM offerings. The CPM report complements the recent Bloor Research report Business Intelligence BL-5549 also available form InfoEdge.

| Enterprise-Wide Search |
|
The market for enterprise-wide search software is small, especially in comparison with the sales of database software, for example, or the income garnered from Web ‘search engines'. Nonetheless, enterprise search software is important. Not only does it give organizations access to more and better information, it boosts the contribution of other software. Business intelligence, customer management, sales analysis and product management can all become more valuable when allied with unstructured search.
This report examines the present state of supply for enterprise-wide search software. This is defined as software able to work not only on an organization's servers and its desktop computers, but also to cross the firewall and search external Web sites. The report deals mainly with separately available products, not those offering unstructured search as part of a broader set of capabilities.
It also includes a detailed explanation of how search software works and what it needs to do to meet current and future demands. The products of all the major suppliers are assessed, as well as those from several interesting small companies.

When Microsoft, Oracle and SAP announce strong interest in the Business Intelligence (BI) market you know that BI is now in the mainstream. The technology used to address the BI solution has become largely irrelevant—every credible vendor can extract data from heterogeneous databases, load that data into cubes, run some ‘what if’ questions and output the results of those queries into professional report formats. The key question now is “which vendor(s) can you trust?”
To answer that question, you will need to cut through the marketing hype and drill down to IT and solutions components as part of extended product and supplier evaluations. That is the objective of this new report from Bloor Research: Assisting you in the selection of the best BI solution provider(s) for your own specific needs.
To do that, the “Bullseye Scoring Method” is used to evaluate 21 BI solution providers and provide you with Bloor’s assessment of the winners in each of three main groupings of offerings: Complete BI solutions; Platform tools: Query & reporting.

| Marketing Automation Platforms |
|
In the stuttering economy at the start of the 21st century, there does not appear to be any one big idea that is dominating the hearts and minds of senior executives. There are no big IT solutions. Instead, there are a number of technologies that offer to better integrate what already exists, and to achieve enhanced ROI for a relatively limited initial investment. We are talking of millions of dollars rather than tens of millions.
One of those technologies is marketing automation. It sits between the massive past investments in data warehousing and front office CRM. If used wisely, for a relatively modest incremental investment, and in a relatively short time span, it should leverage those two massive investments and result in the sorts of ROI that business has long been expecting.
This report evaluates over two dozen marketing automation platform vendors and their products. The vendors that support this area fall into a number of key groups, which reflect their background and influence the scope and style of their offering.
