Building the Business Case: Identifying Criteria to Measure ROI for Metal Additive Manufacturing

Industry-Based, IT Manufacturing /

Building the Business Case: Identifying Criteria to Measure ROI for Metal Additive Manufacturing Learn the 4 steps to writing a successful business plan for metal additive and move toward production – faster. For metal additive manufacturing, getting to ROI is more than just assessing the cost of the part. Manufacturers must look at how additive can impact the whole system—from part cost to product performance improvement to supply chain impact to new revenue streams. If manufacturers look only at the cost to make a part, they lose out on the larger ROI and potential new business opportunities additive can enable while competitors forge ahead.

Ransomware in 2022: 7 Capabilities You Need for Rapid and Reliable Recovery

Data Protection, Information Technology /

Ransomware in 2022: 7 Capabilities You Need for Rapid and Reliable Recovery Organizations can’t prevent a cyber-attack, but they need to take the necessary steps to be prepared to effectively protect their data when an attack occurs. Without a structured way to manage cybersecurity risk, it would be easy to focus all your efforts into detection-based defenses such as firewalls and anti-virus while neglecting the processes and tools that are mandatory to effectively respond to, and recover from, a successful attack. Put another way, the best offense is a solid defense including having a robust strategy for backing up and protecting your data and workloads. Successful backups are the last line of defense for cyberattacks and can be the deciding factor to prevent considerable downtime, data loss and paying a costly ransom.

Case Study: Business Process Resilience – Insurance

Information Technology, Insurance /

Case Study: Business Process Resilience – Insurance Background  A large insurance company, which boasts over $1 billion in yearly revenue, was a longtime Sungard recovery account customer using mainframe, IBM Power Systems and x86 services. When Sungard’s pricing and inability to recover within their contracted environment proved to be too much, Recovery Point swept in to offer our orchestration solutions. After a successful proof of concept test, the recovery contract was awarded to Recovery Point. We recovered all Tier 1 applications in four hours across every platform, a deliverable Sungard could not accomplish within their defined 96-hour recovery window.
