Time Spent Searching Cuts Into Company Productivity
NetworkWorld.com
Employees performing ineffective searches and wasting time looking for information can cost companies up to 10% in salary expenses, research shows.
Butler Group, a London-based IT research and analysis organization, this week released a report titled "Enterprise Search and Retrieval," which concludes that "ineffective search and discovery strategies are hampering business competitiveness, impairing service delivery and putting companies at risk." Specifically, the research firm contends that as much as 10% of a company's salary costs is "frittered away" as employees scramble to find adequate and accurate information to perform their overall jobs and complete assigned tasks.

Infrastructure Optimization for IT redmondmag.com
For many, IT is a game of chasing and fixing problems. Run out of storage? Buy a new disk. Apps too big? Get more servers. The result is often too much hardware and software from too many vendors with too many configurations. Infrastructure optimization aims to alleviate those headaches.
For years, vendors like IBM Corp. and integrators like Electronic Data Systems Corp. have gone into large shops and holistically examined their IT systems. They would offer a plan to simplify, create efficiencies and make them more productive. In the last two or three years, Microsoft has also entered the game with its infrastructure optimization (IO) model, a system for analyzing the state of your shop, devising plans to make it more efficient and to better support business goals.
