If you are doing the former then you are likely to be an IT centric archive - you are looking after files but care little about their contents or usage.

'Interesting series of posts from Jane McConnell about the perspective of HR on the digital workplace (aka intranets, enterprise social software, etc). The first two posts (with another to come) ask: Is HR the missing player we are waiting for in the digital workplace? Why is HR late for social collaboration? Firstly, despite the low representation in Jane''s survey data I think the findings are reasonably representative of the HR view-point: HR says the Digital Workplace''s primary purpose is t

DB2 for z/OS Performance Tuning: the Rising Tide and the Home Run

Robert's Db2

I've been working with DB2 for z/OS for about 25 years.
