Challenge: As a result, Tanpoco and his colleagues had to walk into the server room, locate a specific server and stand in front of the machine for several minutes, carrying out tasks such as software installations. Walking back and forth to the data center hinders productivity and can compromise data center security,” says Tanpoco. “Ideally, you want to limit access to the data center.

The studies were conducted using lysimeters at the field research facilities of Arise Research & Discovery, Inc., Martinsville, IL. Each lysimeter plot (10’ x 30’) was seeded with field corn (Tristler T7N88CB) at a rate equivalent to 30,000 seeds/acre with four rows spaced at 30 inches. The four lysimeter treatments for each of the three years consisted of a standard N (163 lbs. N/acre) and reduced N (145, 154 or 130 lbs. N/acre) application rate, with or without SoilBuilder applied at 1 gallon/acre with UAN-28 at planting. Keep reading

State Street Corporation Case Study

What started as a small, offshore R&D facility for State Street Corp. (SSC) is now a fully fledged technology center (TC) in China that has re-engineered more than 100 of its legacy applications. The increased productivity has delivered more benefits than the labor arbitrage alone ever could. But the key to success lies in the innovative collaboration and relationships with local partners.

State Street Corporation Case Study

SSC has evolved its business model and its market strategy almost as fast as the technologies it uses. From the 1970s, it evolved from being a commercial bank with a competence for servicing financial assets, to a custodian bank in the 1980s, to a global investment servicer and manager in the 1990s and early 2000s. It now aims to be “the world’s leading provider of financial services to institutional investors.” IT has become such an integral part of that vision that SSC sometimes describes itself as being a little like “a technology company with a banking license.” State Street Technology in its worldwide form has grown to manage 700 business applications, 5,000 IT staff and 2.7 million trades per month, and it accounts for 20% to 25% of the bank’s annual operating expense budget. SSC’s initiatives in China account for slightly more than 10% of its technical staff right now, but its share is growing fast. Click here to read more…
