Police Forces in the UK are facing an unprecedented challenge in meeting the planned cuts in spending announced in the 2010 Government Comprehensive Spending Review. Over the next 4 years Police Forces are expected to deliver 20% savings. At the same time Forces are expected to maintain the high-levels of policing which the public have come to know and expect.

SAP’s cloud integration strategy assessed 1
SAP is working on two integration solutions for integrating on premise and on demand solutions: JAVA Platform-as-a-Service (jPaaS) Integration-as-a-Service (INTaaS) In two new blog posts (of which this one is the first) I will assess both solutions, using the CORA reference architecture. With this model I determine which parts of a complete integration offering are included in the SAP solutions, which ones are not and which ones require more careful investigation. So, let’s get to …
Business Process Management and Mastering Data in the Enterprise
“A failure to address service-oriented data redesign at the same time as process redesign is a recipe for disaster.” Michael Blechar On recent trips to client sites over the summer, the same problem has arisen regarding enterprise Business process Management (BPM )programs. I have repeatedly been asked the question “How do I achieve one clear version of the truth across multiple applications? How can I avoid complex data constructs in the BPM solution and do …
Big Data, Big Problems
The concept of big data is a topic that continues to gain significant press, both in the blogging community as well as through discussions by software vendors. As I discuss this topic with clients, I often address it from the angle of bigger data volumes will result in bigger data problems. Although this seems like a logical premise, the reality of what it really means to an organization and how to plan accordingly is what …
The Case for Virtualizing Enterprise Content Management
Many of our clients are considering virtualizing all or part of their enterprise content management (“ECM”) infrastructure to drive cost efficiency, improve operational flexibility and drive improved service levels. As such, Capgemini has had the opportunity to review and analyze the business case to support virtualization along with our clients, and have found that there is a particularly compelling set of justifications to virtualize even in advance of typical hardware refresh cycles. In addition, …
The importance of Data in Process Modeling
Business Process Management or BPM is on the rise again, even though it’s been around for already a long time. Service Orientation makes BPM easier but still there challenges. Modeling data as part of the process is one of these challenges, (too) late designing of the process data results in rework and potentially loss of data when we discover the lack of data after the go-live. Implementing processes with Business Process Management is different then …
Google’s hidden keywords – industry points of view
Last week Google made a change to referral data they send to web analytics products. If the searcher is logged in to Google they will hide the keyword the user searched for. Google are claiming this is to maintain privacy and have only applied it to organic traffic. Paid traffic still passes the keyword information into web analytics (which appears to nullify there former argument about privacy). Across the digital marketing and web analytics community …
Does the news define your cyber security policy?
Recent incidents around cyber security have taught us a few things: Stuxnet and its recent offspring called Duqu show how advanced modern cyber threats have become. Apparently, cyber threats can reach out to places were bombs can’t go and do so unnoticeable at first. Incidents involving certificate authorities like Comodo and Diginotar have shown that these threats can break down the fundament on which trusted communication is built on the internet. This shows there are …
MDM: Are you letting mobile customers clean their data?
I’m a mobile addict, I actually presented back in 2004 on Mobile Airline information on how airlines could build mobile applications at the MDM (Mobile Data Management) conference. One thing thing that I’m not seeing is companies really leveraging the mobile channel for customer information. Mobile devices are perfect or managing customer information, they are seen as being owned by the individual which gives an intimacy to the information that a corporate website or …
