You Can Control Open Source in Your Development Organization
How many of these statements do you agree with?
1. Open source software is a great resource for developers but it’s hard to control.
2. I don’t have visibility into what open source software our developers have.
3. If we try to control open source, our developers will revolt.
4. It’s difficult to get developers to standardize on components or versions.
5. I worry about maintaining applications that contain open source components.
6. Our use of open source software may expose us to future risk.
If you answered “Yes” to any of these statements, you’re not alone! Many development managers face these same challenges. Fortunately, you can address all those issues – without losing the benefits that open source brings you and your developers. Read this technical paper from Black Duck to see the solution to those problems. It’s a solid paper, read it today!

A resource to help you face software licensing and entitlement challenges
Today's software licensing landscape can be challenging for your organization to manage. In part, that’s because it’s increasingly difficult to make money as a traditional software company (i.e., through perpetual licensing). In part, it’s because your customers believe that current software licensing models are not an accurate or fair gauge of the value they derive from using your software. And in part, it’s because SaaS and other hosted models are turning our world upside down. What can you do? You can read this white paper from analyst firm IDC, which examines one set of licensing and entitlement management tools from SafeNet. There’s a tremendous amount of practical information in this paper about the challenges facing software companies likes yours. Read the paper today!

Learn how to protect your SharePoint intranet data and applications
Providing SharePoint recoverability is a two step process that requires first protecting data and then recovering the application to allow users to continue working as quickly as possible. As you’ll learn in this technical paper from Double-Take, most of SharePoint’s data is stored in either the SQL Server back-end database or as files on disk; however there are also meta-data integration points within the registry that should be protected to provide complete recoverability. This adds an application recovery challenge — especially when using third-party Web Parts and custom developed software and integration. So, what can you do? The paper lays out the challenge, and presents solid solutions. Read it today!

Lower the cost of Business Intelligence with Open Source
Many of the top reasons given for the use of open source business intelligence software are "lower costs." The question is whether commercial open source actually matters when it comes to lowering license and support costs. How real are cost savings? How much does BI software and ongoing support actually cost? A new analyst report, Lowering the Cost of Business Intelligence with Open Source, by Mark Madsen of Third Nature research and consulting firm, compares the software and support costs of traditional BI vendors with commercial open source BI from Pentaho.

Cloud Computing and Advanced Relationship Analytics
Most applications and data layers today are only capable of simple analytics, finding out who-did-what or who-bought-what. Advanced analytics yields far more knowledge at a much deeper level, understanding who, where, what, how and why – right now. This brief paper from Objectivity shows that the best way to get those advanced analytics might be to use graph databases, which are arguably the most important part of the NoSQL movement. Learn more about graph databases, NoSQL, and cloud-based implementations from this paper today!

Improve Forms Processing and Text Recognition Results with Regular Expressions
Successful forms processing requires high accuracy for recognition rates. Developers usually have information about their applications that can be used to improve recognition performance when applied to the recognition process. As you'll read in this technical paper, one approach is to constrain the expected results, thereby helping the recognition engine to attain higher accuracy and higher confidence in reporting.
This paper, written by Jeff Hodges, a senior software engineer with Accusoft Pegasus, describes how to use regular expressions within your application code to help your image processing SDK improve its accuracy. There are several approaches -- learn more by reading the paper today!

Watch Your SOA Blind Spots
When you're driving, blind spots let other drivers sneak up on you… and if you're not careful, a rapid lane change could end in a crash. What about service orient architectures? There are blind spots there, too, and can be encountered in real-world performance, message security, SOAP attachments, WSDL implementations and interoperability.
Mamoon Yunus and Rizwan Mallal of Crosscheck Networks have written a short technical paper that describes these SOA blind spots -- and help you make sure nothing sneaks up on you. Crashes are bad, whether on the highway or data centers. Safety first: Read this paper today to learn more.

Follow the Path to a Secure Application
What is the best way to ensure that code is secure?
Code review is a core practice, and should accomplish three objectives:
●Create consistency: When developing code, developers must create consistent processes, policies, and a culture of improved security.
●Provide the whole security picture: When it comes to dangerous vulnerabilities, large-scale design flaws typically exceed individual coding errors. Fixing individual vulnerabilities have little effect if data is not encrypted, authentication is weak, or open backdoors exist in an application.
●Prioritize remediation: When reviewing existing code, developers must identify all vulnerabilities in the code and remediate the greatest risks first.
This practical – and fascinating – technical paper from IBM Rational provides a detailed checklist to guide you in planning and executing code reviews.
This paper’s a keeper – read it today!
