Book Summary of David W  Tollen s The Tech Contracts Handbook

Download or read book Summary of David W Tollen s The Tech Contracts Handbook written by Everest Media, and published by Everest Media LLC. This book was released on 2022-04-29T22:59:00Z with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 A license grants the customer rights to copy software or to exploit it in other ways. It leaves ownership with the vendor. A license is like a rental agreement. The customer gets to use the software, but not share it or modify it. #2 The customer should always get the right to use the software. Reproduction rights, on the other hand, are not always necessary. If the vendor delivers ten copies and the customer only needs ten, the license does not need the right to reproduce. #3 The license for client-server software allows a fixed number of users, not individuals. It may allow 60 users at a time, but it means 15 designated users can access the software. #4 The end user license should list certain rights not granted. The customer shouldn’t be able to distribute, modify, or publicly display or perform the software. The customer shouldn’t be able to sublicense its rights to anyone else.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this dynamic book, based on the most effective strategies of IBM and other market leaders, managers will learn to successfully transform their organizations into a business prepared to compete in a networked age. Mainframes, client servers, PCs, networks, e-business, the Internet, databases, technical management--indeed, in the brave new business world facing today's firms only one thing is certain: change. And when looking for a model for corporate change, one should look no further than IBM. In this decade, IBM has gone from a company with less than $60 billion in unprofitable revenue to a highly profitable $85 billion-plus enterprise. In a company whose major source of revenue was once hardware, services now account for more than a third of its revenue. IBM Global Services, only seven years old and $25 billion strong, draws most of its revenue from helping businesses to do successfully what IBM has done: transform themselves. In five down-to-earth sections, the authors share their vast experience, apply case studies, chart trends and describe in-depth the practices that allowed IBM to transform itself, and to show the way for other firms. The result is an essential handbook for anyone charged with leading their firm in an economy that is global, increasingly reliant on information systems, and teeming with rapidly emerging markets--and competitors. Written by a staff of experts and renowned business thinkers, Into the Networked Age is today's ultimate guide for success in tomorrow's business world.

Book Quality of Service

Download or read book Quality of Service written by Paul Ferguson and published by . This book was released on 1998-02-09 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Develop cost-effective, long-term solutions to your network traffic control problems. Even if you can find the money to do it, overengineering your network will not solve your traffic flow problems. As the authors of this groundbreaking guide clearly demonstrate, the best long-term solution to network congestion and bottlenecks can be found in a set of Quality of Service (QoS) architectures, policies, and technologies known as differentiated Classes of Service (CoS). Quality of Service is a valuable working resource for technical managers charged with solving the problem of how to handle the exploding volume of traffic on their companies' networks. The authors explore the roots of the current network traffic control crisis and they provide a realistic assessment of the gamut of standard, new, and emerging QoS/CoS technologies. They consider all crucial, design, cost, and support issues surrounding quality of service deployment for all types of networks, including intranets and multimedia networks. And they provide managers with a rational framework for finding the most cost-effective QoS/CoS solutions to their organizations' long-term networking goals. Key technical issues covered include: * Queuing disciplines, traffic shaping, and admission control techniques * Quality and differentiation hooks found in TCP/IP * Getting the most out of Frame Relay and ATM technologies * QoS/CoS techniques for dial-up services * Integrated Services Architecture and RSVP.

  • Pages : 401 pages

Download or read book How to Prove It written by Daniel J. Velleman and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2006-01-16 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many students have trouble the first time they take a mathematics course in which proofs play a significant role. This new edition of Velleman's successful text will prepare students to make the transition from solving problems to proving theorems by teaching them the techniques needed to read and write proofs. The book begins with the basic concepts of logic and set theory, to familiarize students with the language of mathematics and how it is interpreted. These concepts are used as the basis for a step-by-step breakdown of the most important techniques used in constructing proofs. The author shows how complex proofs are built up from these smaller steps, using detailed 'scratch work' sections to expose the machinery of proofs about the natural numbers, relations, functions, and infinite sets. To give students the opportunity to construct their own proofs, this new edition contains over 200 new exercises, selected solutions, and an introduction to Proof Designer software. No background beyond standard high school mathematics is assumed. This book will be useful to anyone interested in logic and proofs: computer scientists, philosophers, linguists, and of course mathematicians.
