The slap of cold water on an unsuspecting victim has been standard comedy fare for years, and it can make for an amusing scenario, assuming you’re not the one being doused. In an emergency situation however, non-tempered water is anything but funny. Exposure to domestic water temperatures in many parts of the country while using an emergency shower or eyewash has it’s risk- hypothermia and/or scalding. The International Safety Equipment Association (ISEA) revised the Z358.1 standard to include a water delivery temperature range of 60° to 100°F. The heart of the tempered water delivery system is the mixing valve, which ensures that the safety equipment safely receives water at the required temperature.

In the early years of software development, you would often design it, build it, and only then think about how to secure it. This was arguably fine in the days of monolithic applications and closed networks, when good perimeter-based protection and effective identity and access management would get you a long way towards minimising the risk. In today’s highly connected, API-driven application environments, however, any given software component or service can be invoked and potentially abused in so many different ways. Add to this the increasing pace of change through iterative ‘DevOps-style’ delivery and ever-faster release cycles, and many understandably assert that security management and assurance nowadays needs to be an ongoing and embedded part of the development and delivery process.

ffective communications are the foundation for any good team, and the transportation and logistics (T&L) sector is no exception. Charged with managing the warehousing, inventory, and movement of freight across the supply chain — both through internal and external distribution networks — T&L professionals rely on high levels of team collaboration to get the job done right. By helping companies leverage the knowledge, talents, and insights of their people, effective team communications ensures that customers get their deliveries when, how, and where they want them. Meeting those expectations in today’s fast-paced, demanding distribution environment requires reliable, clear voice and data logistics communications that start at the warehouse and end at the point of delivery. In this white paper, we explore the key challenges that T&L companies are facing in today’s business environment and hear how instant push-to-talk and advanced video surveillance can help them develop streamlined suppl

The Transportation and Logistics industry is the backbone of the global supply chain. But as Transportation and Logistics companies work to ensure timely delivery, they also face a variety of security risks and challenges.

The proliferation of communications channels has set expectations around cost and productivity benefits. Unified Communications (UC) is proffered as a way of helping bring them all together, but companies struggle to justify the business case for it. Against this background, how important is UC as an approach to streamlining communications, and how can businesses exploit it?

As organizations have improved service delivery, they have also turned their focus to presenting business value more positively. These organizations are beginning to develop true BSM systems in two ways: by understanding the metrics that successful businesses employ to determine the value of IT, and by linking these metrics and associated business services to IT infrastructure components.

Managing service delivery in todayís complex and dynamic business environments demands new and different approaches from IT. The explosive growth and the rate of change of information has brought particularly daunting challenges for IT that have contributed to incredibly complex underlying infrastructures. To get a true picture of all of the components necessary to support an IT or Business Service, you must access and bring together data that resides in disparate data silos throughout the enterprise.

ITIL provides a framework of customizable best practice initiatives that help organizations consistently deliver high-quality IT services. Effective ITIL implementation adds value to the IT infrastructure and improves business and service delivery.

As IT evolves towards a more business-aligned position, it must seek out new ways of working that support more effective operations, service creation, and service delivery. These include technologies, processes, and a culture that supports higher levels of accountability, as well as more dynamic responsiveness to business needs.

Effective workload automation that provides complete management level visibility into real-time events impacting the delivery of IT services is needed by the data center more than ever before. The traditional job scheduling approach, with an uncoordinated set of tools that often requires reactive manual intervention to minimize service disruptions, is failing more than ever due to todays complex world of IT with its multiple platforms, applications and virtualized resources.

For many organizations, managing and delivering the knowledge contained within documents is difficult or impossible due to technological disparity.
