(firmenpresse) - BOSTON, MA -- (Marketwire) -- 08/11/11 -- , a Company (NYSE: HHS), today announced the publication of new research reports from its Collaboration and Integrated Communications, IT Security, and Enterprise Applications research practices.
Aberdeen's latest enterprise communications report, "," analyzes the Telecom Lifecycle Management (TLM) practices of 75 organizations between $50 million and $500 million in annual revenue. By comparing these organizations to Best-in-Class organizations that have cut telecom and network spend by nearly 20%, this research provides practical guidance that could potentially lead to savings of over $340,000 per year. According to , Research Analyst, and the report author, for Aberdeen's "" practice, "Mid-market organizations are increasingly pressured to acquire advanced networking and telecom services to support cloud computing, telepresence and unified communications.

Events in the first half of 2011 have combined to lead many enterprises to re-evaluate their strategies for authenticating end-users, in particular with methods that are stronger than traditional passwords. Aberdeen's latest research on "," authored by , Vice President and Research Fellow for Aberdeen's , confirms that this is a good idea. Based on its study of "" (March 2011), Aberdeen analyzed responses from 32 organizations relying exclusively on traditional passwords and 69 organizations using one or more forms of stronger user authentication to see what insights could be gained with respect to security, convenience and total cost. The results: the Stronger Authentication group experienced 5% fewer incidents, 25% greater convenience, and a total cost advantage of between $5 and $6 per enterprise end-user per year.

"," also authored by Derek Brink, describes the findings from two independent Aberdeen research studies with similar demographics, gathered six months apart, in which there was a noticeable shift in market trends in the area of end-user authentication. For one-time passwords, responses for planned use in the next 12 months and current evaluations decreased by a factor of 2.5- to 3-times; for smart cards, they increased by a factor of 1.5- to 2-times. The security breach affecting RSA SecurID is the most logical explanation for the sudden chill towards OTP, and the corresponding increase in interest for smart cards. However, the silver lining is that for companies committed to strong end-user authentication but looking for time-tested alternatives to OTP, a fresh evaluation of card-based identities and the multi-purpose nature of smart cards can open the door to a wide range of benefits.

"," prepared by , Research Director, , explores not only how Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) impacts a company's overall performance, but also how those companies selected and implemented ERP. Some of the key elements to consider in the selection process include: how much prior experience your company has with ERP; if your organization is prepared for selection and implementation; does your organization have the ability to measure benefits and accountability; and are there any critical features that your company must have to run properly. To these ends, Best-in-Class companies are seeing a 20% reduction in operating costs, among many other benefits, resulting from their ERP implementation.
