The framework presented here is a way to avoid data dysfunction via a coordinated and well-planned governance initiative. These initiatives require two elements related to the creation and management of data:
• The business inputs to data strategy decisions via a policy
development process.
• The technology levers needed to monitor production data
based on the policies.
Collectively, data governance artifacts (policies, guiding principles and operating procedures) give notice to all stakeholders and let them know, “We value our data as an asset in this organization, and this is how we manage it.”
Healthcare systems are inherently distributed across large campus environments, making regular IT systems management complex and time consuming. The risks of irregular maintenance and non-compliance of IT and security policies are not only measured in dollars lost but in lives saved.
Leave administration is one of the most challenging aspects of workforce management and an area that continues to become more complicated as leave regulations—and lawsuits—increase. For employers, having to understand and comply with complex federal regulations, such as the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), in addition to myriad local laws, union rules and company policies can be overwhelming. The task of complying with these many regulations often consumes a great deal of time for HR teams, especially those operating across multiple geographies.
Effective workforce management starts with in an accurate, efficient and user-friendly method for capturing work hours, pay rates and absences. Those critical details inform you of whether you are overstaffing particular roles, shifts or locations (or the opposite), provide a true gauge of worker performance through productivity and attendance rates, and – when fully automated – keep your payroll spend in check. In short, there’s immense value in getting the right time and attendance system.
There’s lots of great research on the cost savings that better time, attendance, scheduling, and leave management solutions can bring to your business. Problem is, you may not have the time to dig that research up… even when it can help make the case for new investments.
If you’re stretched for time but still looking for answers, this paper’s for you.
The Aberdeen Group has taken a fresh look at two very important questions:
How does automating a total workforce management strategy elevate business performance?
What types of measurable gains can you expect to achieve?
If you want a thorough and persuasive argument for automating workforce management processes across the enterprise, this is a must-read.
Getting the right solution for your business has a major impact on ROI, but how much does the delivery method matter? A lot, according to new research from Aberdeen Group on the benefits of deploying a cloud-based workforce management solution.
This paper—exclusively available from WorkForce Software—illustrates how opting for the cloud can get you even greater returns from workforce management technology. Learn about the cloud’s connections to employee retention rates, administrative costs, and maximizing revenues in this short and focused read.
New labor laws are a regular occurrence these days… and yet they’re just a small slice of your compliance demands. To help you stay informed and effective, our Director of Compliance takes an annual look at some of the biggest upcoming challenges and lets you know how to prepare.

This whitepaper takes the findings from the 2015 Trust Gap Survey and translates them into actionable recommendations for employers in the form of privacy-centric mobile device policies. This white paper also reviews the privacy enhancements that Apple, Google, and Microsoft have made to their operating systems. When used with an enterprise mobility management (EMM) platform, these enhancements enable a more powerful set of privacy protections than was available even two years ago.

With more and more employees spread around the globe, IT teams face a
conundrum: how to secure an increasing amount of data traveling outside
the network while preserving workforce productivity in an increasingly
interconnected and global market. It’s up to IT decision-makers to protect
and secure company data in a way that promotes user access without imposing
overly restrictive or cumbersome device policies. When it comes to protecting
data on laptops and mobile devices, several key factors are essential for today’s
businesses:
Available as a rack-mounted, hardened hardware appliance, an Open Virtualization Format (OVF) Virtual Appliance or an Amazon Machine Instance (AMI), CA Privileged Access Manager enhances security by protecting sensitive administrative credentials, such as root and administrator passwords, controlling privileged user access and proactively enforcing policies and monitoring and recording privileged user activity across all IT resources.
Using CA Live API Creator, you can execute business policies using Reactive Logic. You write simple declarative rules defining relationships across data fields, and they’re automatically enforced when changes occur—just like formulas in a spreadsheet.
Reactive Logic should cover most of your application requirements, but you also have the ability to configure event processing or external callouts using server-side JavaScript or imported Java® libraries if you so desire.

Companies are facing massive cyber security challenges – many of which are rooted in the endpoint. In fact, according to IDC, 70% of successful breaches begin at the endpoint. If you are a McAfee customer, and still have breaches in your endpoint security, then something isn’t working. Perhaps you’re struggling to prevent advanced attacks, or your security team may be burdened by maintaining overly complex policies. You and your end users may even be facing performance issues.
If you are experiencing any of these challenges, then your endpoint security products may actually be creating more problems than they solve. Ask yourself these questions for a cybersecurity reality check.
NSS Labs performed an independent test of the Cisco AMP for Endpoints v6.0.5. The product was subjected to
thorough testing at the NSS facility in Austin, Texas, based on the Advanced Endpoint Protection (AEP) Test
Methodology v2.0, which is available at www.nsslabs.com. This test was conducted free of charge and NSS did not
receive any compensation in return for Cisco’s inclusion.
This report provides detailed information about this product and its security effectiveness. Additional comparative
information is available at www.nsslabs.com.
As part of the initial AEP test setup, products were configured in a deployment mode typical to enterprises. As
such, products were configured to mimic an enterprise environment by applying typical applications such as
exclusion policies and tuning requirements. All product-based configurations are reviewed, validated, and
approved by NSS prior to the test. Every effort is made to ensure optimal security effectiveness, as would be the
aim of a typi
