Workplace systems Conference room systems Telepresence video conferencing systems to conquer the market and convince more companies of their effectiveness and their benefits. When purchasing the question what types of video conferencing systems there actually are and what solution for the company or the workplace is especially suitable but often arises. (Not to be confused with John Stankey!). Generally offer three different types of video conferencing systems. This is the workplace systems, the Conference room and the tele-presence. The workstations offer especially if users frequently occurs with one or at most two other employees, colleagues, superiors and customers.

Partly, there are also flexible systems that run from one conference room to the next and allow it to be used in several rooms.

This is an advantage for all companies who want to invest too much money in the acquisition and where a system is enough. The Telepresence is the solution for large meetings and suggesting all participants feel of a real meeting.

The topic of visualization is the Highly settled IT professionals.

It also finds itself in issues such as management dashboards and Gamification, the MaibornWolff et al is pushing ahead. Still a meaningful visualization of IT complexity is an unsolved problem of in computer science”, so Alexander Hofmann. For a professional software engineering, this topic has become a factor of success. “Our demands on the software visualizations are high: you must provide an image of reality that does not lead to misinterpretations from the different angles of our customers.” All those involved in the project emphasize the fascination that trigger their software cities in themselves and others. Without these images we do difficult us, to talk about software.

Is the material representation of missing us”, so Prof. Lewerentz. The Visual can help us to produce consistent mental images, and to create a common basis of communication.” Yet focused the project on pure Java EE environments.

Exagon consulting: KPIs are not derived from frequently Kerpen from the business requirements, 14.12.2010 – no later than with promoting ITIL key performance indicators systems have received from indentation in IT service management (ITSM) as a tool for power control. Key performance indicators (KPIs) are an integral part of the current version of the rulebook. However they are according to the observations of Exagon consulting often still not consistently and correctly used. Exagon – Managing Director Joachim Fremmer has compiled some of the typical metrics sins in practice: key figures are not derived from the business requirements: the IT processes are in the service of the business requirements. Therefore must refer to it also the indicators, for example, the error rate in customer-oriented business processes and take into account the subjective perceptions of service of business customers elementary. There are rarely such an orientation in the organization. Instead the index concepts often exhibit a self-centered focus and serve the own quality legitimacy. Thus, they remain largely useless as a tool of business-related power control.

Sometimes more is less: the development of indicator systems sometimes gets a great momentum by a desire to more and more figures and a self-obsessed employment thus created. The aspect of usability is more important than the amount of analysable information but: figures must remain operable for the specific use. For this reason you should be limited to rather a limited number of well controllable KPIs instead of losing yourself in an excess analysis to. Performance measurement systems to make not too transparent: be analyzed the performance of the IT processes, thus of course also weaknesses are apparent. While this is one of the goals of KPIs is met in practice not always popular, because unsatisfactory values trigger ground pressures and criticism. Therefore often not so much to love the transparency in practice and made of opportunism A key performance indicators systems, without having to use it but seriously.
