Timely Response 11 September, 2003 12:08:41
With the average organisation having in excess of three dozen IT applications needing to be integrated, which together consume approximately one-third of the organisation's IT budget, anything that can help to bring costs down is desirable.Real time, right time, whatever you want to call it, dozens of vendors are lining up to give your company information "at the moment you need it". Is it just more hype or does real time wait for no organisation? - +

Standards: XML Tag, You're It! 15 March, 2000 12:01:01
When ClubComputer.com started selling computer products on the web in November 1998, it relied on a rather quaint back-end fulfillment system. The startup company e-mailed orders to suppliers, who manually entered the data into their own systems before processing and shipping merchandise to customers. CEO Dennis Tracz knew the system was far from cutting edge for a web-based business, but it seemed to hold up to ClubComputer.com's daily intake of 100 orders. Then last July the company hit it big following a stint as a featured merchant on the CNet Shopper site. Volume went from $200,000 a month to $1 million in 10 days, burying the e-mail ordering system. - +

An Australian company that has received international interest in its year 2000 data conversion solution is keen to talk to resellers.
Adelaide-based Paradox Computer Solutions this month unveiled its Databridge 2000 system, which is claimed to provide platform-independent conversion of data that does not comply with year 2000 standards.
While the company, which has already grown from three staff to 17, is planning a big push into direct sales, it is also keen to discuss distribution with resellers.
Paradox Computer Solutions director Deborah Koop said the company has a clear direction.
"The pie is too large to look for a monopoly -- it's a matter of sharing it out," she said.
Databridge 2000 is described as a powerful data conversion tool that offers the uniqueness of platform independence because it is "not fussed" about where the data comes from or where it is being sent to.
The product, which generally requires a service component to configure it to a specific business environment, comprises four components.
These are a year 2000 data verification tool, a year 2000 cleansing function, a year 2000 data migration tool and a tool that provides electronic communication between compliant and non-compliant systems.
The company reports pricing starts at around $2500.

Selling zero-day exploits has a down side 07 July, 2008 10:16:36
There is an ongoing argument about the ethics of selling 0-day exploits on the open market: It helps if you don't sell exploits targeting the company you work for.Information Security can sometimes be a funny field to work in. Some days it seems as if anybody with their hands on unpublished exploit code can sell it for all they're worth, and others it seems that they are set to become the target of law enforcement and the companies the code affects. It does help if you don't work for one of the companies that is set to be affected by the exploits you are trying to sell and aren't trying to bootstrap a competing company in the process. - +
