Entitlement management is technology that grants, resolves, enforces, revokes and administers fine-grained access entitlements (also referred to as “authorizations,” “privileges,” “access rights,” “permissions” and/or “rules”). Its purpose is to execute IT access policies to structured/unstructured data, devices and services. Entitlement management can be delivered by different technologies, and is often different across platforms, applications, network components and devices.

Enterprise unified communications infrastructure encompasses server-based products and software that provide a central platform for communications for enterprises and other organizations. A key part of the UC proposition is the promise of a more consistent user experience across a wider range of communications channels and features. To achieve this, a critical task is to tightly integrate the server-based communications products and application functionality into a UC infrastructure. This domain is the key battlefield for infrastructure vendors with leadership aspirations in UC.
This domain emerges as a result of convergence in the established separate markets for telephony PBXs, e-mail and calendaring, voice mail, audioconferencing, Web conferencing and the more recent market for IM. It also encompasses some aspects of mobility applications, such as enterprise wireless e-mail software. In addition, we expect that new features and functions will emerge as important elements of an enterprise UC infrastructure portfolio. Examples include: rich presence server applications; multiparty videoconferencing functionality; and improved access to corporate communications features for mobile staff.

Enterprise security intelligence (ESI) is a concept that recognizes security intelligence as an explicit deliverable, and designates it as a strategic security objective for the enterprise’s IT security and risk management. ESI aims at increased accuracy and breadth of security detection and protection, as well as optimal security and risk management.

Enterprise risk management (ERM) applications support the establishment of an integrated, thorough and strategic approach to the management of risk across the organization by helping organizations to identify, measure and manage various risk classes, including market risks, credit risks, liquidity risks and operational risks. In particular, the applications allow organizations to aggregate and normalize data from multiple data sources, including operational and financial systems. By providing a better understanding of the risks to business objectives, ERM enables better business performance. ERM applications also help companies address the increasing pressure from regulators to improve the risk reporting in annual reports and improve the board’s role in risk management oversight. ERM applications usually include functionality to extract data in a controlled way from multiple source systems, such as financial systems, into an integrated risk register. In addition, they include functions for risk analytics, reports and alerts to support decision making. ERM applications also include compliance-related functions, such as audit trails, regulatory reporting or control policy management.

Enterprise resource planning (ERP) is defined as the ability to deliver an integrated suite of business applications. ERP tools share a common process and data model, covering broad and deep operational end-to-end processes, such as those found in finance, HR, distribution, manufacturing, service and the supply chain.
ERP applications automate and support a range of administrative and operational business processes across multiple industries, including line of business, customer-facing, administrative and the asset management aspects of an enterprise. However, ERP deployments tend to come at a significant price, and the business benefits are difficult to justify and understand.
Look for business benefits in four areas: IT cost savings, business process efficiency, as a business process platform for process standardization and as a catalyst for business innovation. Most enterprises focus on the first two areas, because they are the easiest to quantify; however, the latter two areas often have the most significant impact on the enterprise.
