A new standard file format, Extensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL), for submitting financial reports to the SEC in the United States is being mandated for June 2009 – Are you Prepared?
The XBRL standardization initiative requires that all terms in financial reports be submitted in an approved taxonomy so comparable terms are used across different companies. This paper discusses the pitfalls of using manual steps that are currently common for transposing financial documents into compatible XBRL files, looks at the advantages of substituting an automatic process using WebFOCUS, and illustrates that process.

Thin provisioning is now recognized as a critical approach to simplifying storage management while drastically improving capacity utilization. Download this white paper to learn how.
One key area where operational efficiencies can be achieved is in the storage infrastructure. Traditional storage systems are inherently inefficient, with multiple arrays of dedicated storage and various management points. Thin provisioning is now recognized in the industry as a critical approach to simplifying storage management while drastically improving capacity utilization. Additionally, the ability to defer system and capacity purchases results in less frequent and higher utility capital expenditures.
Download this complimentary white paper to learn how thin provisioning can help you:
- Increase utilization rates - Several applications can draw upon a single pool of physical capacity
- Ease provisioning and management - New volumes no longer require large amounts of physical space at inception
- Lower capital expenditures, as incremental system capacity is added to the general storage pool as needed, but without being tied to a single host.

In an uncertain economy, conducting ‘business as usual’ is not an option. Despite customer loyalty, long-term business commitments are less likely, with a ‘wait-and-see’ business approach prevailing. Meanwhile, as business decreases, companies are forced to look inward and find opportunities for increasing process and organizational efficiencies. The importance of utilizing corporate data effectively and more efficiently has become a critical strategy among companies seeking to find new opportunities and strengthen existing customer relationships.
