Tip #1: Scheduled Saved Searches and Data Integrity 

by Manoj 

You can schedule saved searches to run at specified intervals, like once a month or every week on Monday. Scheduled saved search results are emailed to the recipient(s) you specify. You can use this capability to regularly monitor data integrity. 

For example, your HR team might want to identify recently hired employees with records missing important data, such as phone and fax numbers. To track this information, set up an Employee saved search with criteria like the following: 

Then use the Schedule subtab to specify how frequently the search is run and recipient(s) of search results. You also can specify a comment to appear in the body of the emailed search results. 

What is the real value proposition of Cloud Computing?

We have entered an era where business is getting impatient with the kind of IT support  it has been used to for well over a couple of decades now. With everything going 2.0 business needs more experimentation to achieve quick assembling of solutions, eliminate things which will not work and adapt what will fill the need. These need to be delivered in a highly responsive and flexible environment. Speed has become the essence of the game. Cloud computing or more simply software, services and/or infrastructure delivered on a pay per use mode over the internet, has an attractive value proposition.

1. You can try out a solution or a software or even a service (check out www.stylusap.com for a software and services combine)  without a commitment.
   
2. You have an immediate access to perform all the basic features on offer. Try it and justify later.
3. Use it and scale it as you go.
   
4. Forget all the earlier restrictions in the form of approvals, CIO endorsements etc that were required before an IT solution was pressed into service for your department.
