How to best manage printer creep

How to Best Manage Printer Creep The days of the monstrous centralized printer in the glass-enclosed room are all but gone. Workers want proximity and speed with their printing devices, as well as color options. Because of this, IT managers have to constantly wrangle with printers that creep into offices. A lot of people just go out and buy printers and put them in their office, and they're all different brands. That's an expensive proposition from a company perspective because of all the supplies you have to track. Learn how to effectively manage those devices. Why is Complex Event Processing So Important? We all have an intuitive idea of what an event is. However, when it comes to the use of the term "event" within a business context then it is easy to get confused. This paper seeks to explain what events are, why they are important to your business, and what the options are for processing and managing these events (depending on their type and volume). Complex event processing, in particular, represents a rapidly growing market, especially in financial services, but it also has potential uses in more or less every other vertical sector.

IP Convergence: The 1st Step on the Path to Unified Communication The more places a network can reach, the greater its usefulness. This is the promise of unified communications (UC). In order to successfully deploy a UC strategy, all the necessary steps must be taken to ensure that the system works as intended. IP convergence is the first major step on that path. Being a mature technology, IP convergence is at a point where its implementation is fairly standardized. Still, the efficiency and cost savings are being realized for a variety of applications and functions. The key factors involved center around having systems in place to manage data, voice and video traffic -- the integration of discrete network elements -- and keeping current with IP and other associated protocols. However, there are some other important aspects that must be considered.
