HP ArcSight Named Leader by Gartner, 10 Years in a Row
Dear ShoreTel ,

Due to your recent interests, we are passing along valuable information that may benefit you.

Firewalls and upgraded anti-virus no longer get the job done. Security teams need real-time information to know if attackers have broken in, but before they've stolen information. Security information and event management is key to staying ahead of the adversaries. See why Gartner has ranked HP ArcSight number one in its Magic Quadrant for the last 10 years.

Big Data at Work: Top Myths Debunked


Big Data at Work: Top Myths Debunked

Friday, April 4 - 2:00 p.m. EDT


In the half-dozen years since thought leader Tom Davenport co-authored "Competing on Analytics: The New Science of Winning", he has worked with well over 100 companies on how to use analytics to competitive advantage. So when big data entered the realm, you'd have thought he'd be proclaiming its virtues. Instead, Davenport was a self-admitted skeptic of big data, who converted only after systematically studying big data from every which way.

Register for this radio show on Friday, April 4 at 2 p.m. EDT to learn how to:
  • Make effective decisions using big data
  • Use big data to develop new products and services
  • Differentiate between conventional analytics and big data

Join Tom Davenport, author of "Big Data at Work: Dispelling the Myths, Uncovering the Opportunities", to learn why you and your company need to recognize big data's importance.
