商业银行开发中心的系统资源管理方法

IT基础设施是商业银行开发中心开展各项工作的基石,而基础设施资源又极其有限。如何结合开发中心自身发展需要、项目开发测试及运维等特点综合考虑管理资源,提高资源的整体处理能力和利用率成为摆在各家商业银行面前的重要课题。     

ITIL在银行IT服务管理中的应用

随着业务的不断扩展和信息化的持续深入，银行信息系统越来越复杂，对信息系统的依赖程度也越来越高，信息系统运行的稳定与否直接关系到业务连续性。有关专家认为，如何合理地利用IT资源、有效地控制IT风险和提高IT服务质量已成为银行业高度关注的课题。ITIL（IT基础设施库）的引入和应用，可以解决企业IT系统的运维难题，提高企业IT运维效率和IT服务满意度。     

容灾建设给系统的监控管理带来新课题

目前金融、电信等行业企业对IT系统的可靠性要求越来越高。企业在加大对运维监测的投入力度的同时，也在进行容灾备份系统建设，但容灾系统的建设也给系统的监控管理带来了新课题。     

面向业务中心的IT服务流程设计

近年来，随着金融企业IT硬件系统大批量采购，业务应用软件的大规模开发建设，IT项目的基础设施投入基本结束，但IT系统日益复杂，维持稳定运行难度日益加大。如何高效发挥这些投资的作用，如何有效提升IT运行管理水平，如何扭转传统意义上的IT运维管理的被动局面，做到对IT系统故障的主动预测、预先防范、提前告警、及时解决，已经逐渐成为IT运维管理过程中日益突出和急需解决的首要问题。     

银行IT治理之道

中国银行业信息化建设的过程，实质上是管理现代化的过程。随着银行对IT科技的依赖性越来越强，如何通过监控工具和管理手段，提高IT系统的可见性和可控性，如何实现IT管理工作的规范化、流程化，如何为运维(运营和维护)人员绩效考核提供量化数据，如何有效地提高IT管理的效率和质量，实现IT管理工作的规范化、流程化、自动化等诸多问题，已成为国内银行关注的焦点。     

建立“集中”的IT运维管理模式,实现超高的投资回报率

企业的业务在不断扩展,IT运维也随之而扩大管理范围,在＂后金融危机＂时代,企业需要＂集中＂的IT运维管理平台以提高IT运维投资回报率（ROI）。对于CIO,信息需要＂集中＂。管理平台的各种报表集中呈现、体现业绩的ROI数据,确保软件正版化、     

ITSM全面提升银行IT服务管理

中国建设银行2002年底确定以新的“核心业务系统”版本作为全行统一的版本，建设南、北数据中心，加快核心业务系统全行集中统一的战略部署，至2005年9月全行核心业务的数据集中（DCC）已正式全部完成。随着集中式银行数据中心的建立，IT基础设施建设告一段落之后，用户对IT系统的依赖性逐渐加强，IT系统的运行维护与管理成为IT部门的首要工作。如何实现IT管理的规范化和流程化，提高IT系统的可控性，提高IT管理的效率和质量，提升IT应用的水平，强化IT应用的整体和持久的效益，已经成为银行IT管理部门面临的重要课题。     

IT资产管理系统建设介绍及成效分析

随着信息技术的不断发展和人民银行省级数据中心建设的不断深入,人民银行南京分行拥有IT资产种类和数量也越来越多,但目前采用的固定资产管理系统存在资产数据不全、数据质量不高、与资产运维脱节等问题。为此,人民银行南京分行在基于ITSM平台的科技管理系统上开发了IT资产管理模块,将IT资产与IT运维紧密结合起来,实现了对IT资源从入库到报废的整个生命周期的管理,优化了IT资产的管理流程,提高了IT资源管理水平。     

面向业务的应用监控系统设计

正近年来,金融业信息化建设的深入发展为丰富金融服务手段、提高金融服务的效率提供了有效支撑。研究建立完善的IT资源监控系统,降低信息系统运行风险,对提升信息系统持续服务能力和服务质量,有效促进金融服务的持续发展有着极其重要的意义。实现面向信息系统业务层和应用层的运行监控与预警管理,是满足业务部门和系统运维部门需要,充分保障系统的业务连续性的必要手段。传统的监控工具     

基于虚拟化技术的IT运维体系框架设计

正在当前计算机技术高速发展,IT管理水平不断提高的社会大前提下,如何充分有效地提高IT资源使用效率,降低消耗和运行成本,实现资源整合利用,是现代数据中心面临的重要问题。一、传统数据中心运维体系存在的问题随着信息化建设的深入推进和信息系统规模的不断扩大,数据中心的IT资源快速增长,运维和管理中不断涌现的问题在一定程度上影响了数据中心持续提升运营管理的能力。(一)资源分配不均衡信息系统建设缺乏统筹考虑,依照业务分割进行分散建设,造成信息系统运行在各自独立的IT资源支撑     

Futures research—stage three

Futures research now seems poised on a plateau to move into the third stage of its development—that of institutional design. The first two stages, the development of concepts and the raising of futures consciousness, have not resulted in any tangible improvements to the policymaking process as a means of improving the human condition. If stage three is to achieve this it must develop tools and concepts of increasingly practical value.     

面向构件的软件过程:需求阶段

一般而言，需求阶段的目标包括：对有待解决的问题达成一致，确定涉众，定义系统边界，确定用户需求集，确定对系统强加的约束。而作为面向构件的软件过程，需求阶段还有一些非常重要的目标：识别业务构件，找出已有资产中的可复用业务构件，归纳业务构件需求.需求阶段的进入条件、主要角色和步骤、核心工件、退出条件等如图1所示。

Multinational corporate structures: The next stage

Present multinational structures will become obsolete as a result of political and economic changes including intensified competition. Whether through choice or as the result of external pressures, enterprises are likely to adapt to the changes by adopting, partially or completely, three emerging types of organisational structure-integrated, collaborative, or flexible. The process of adaptation will be determined by a range of influences, from the quickening pace of commercial and technological development to the tightening of business legislation.     

The end stage of a financial service product

This paper considers product elimination in the financial services sector. Specifically it identifies the factors that cause an organisation to question the viability of a product — a key element of effective end-stage product management. A questionnaire was mailed to 196 individuals with experience of product elimination in retail banks, building societies and retail insurance organisations. Fifty-six usable questionnaires were returned. It was found that there were 32 key drivers of product elimination. These were grouped into eight interrelated areas: product led; strategic led; customer led; cost led; information technology led; operational led; personnel led; and externally led. It was also found that there were three functional conditions characterising the nature of the drivers: an elimination driver seldom appears without warning; the organisation generates the majority of reasons for product removal; the causes of elimination tend to reflect the overall operating context of the business. It is concluded that focusing on past elimination may not be helpful in predicting future requirements. Effective product elimination requires that organisations are able to identify drivers and be willing to act upon them. Many drivers are within the organisations' control and it is often the action (or inaction) of the organisation that creates the need for elimination.     

Are early stage investors biased against women?

We study whether early stage investors have gender biases using a proprietary data set from AngelList that allows us to observe private interactions between investors and fundraising startups. We find that male investors express less interest in female entrepreneurs compared to observably similar male entrepreneurs. In contrast, female investors express more interest in female entrepreneurs. These findings do not appear to be driven by within-gender screening/monitoring advantages or gender differences in risk preferences. Moreover, the male-led startups that male investors express interest in do not outperform the female-led startups they express interest in—they underperform. Overall, the evidence is consistent with gender biases.

The causes and consequences of venture capital stage financing

This paper examines the causes and consequences of venture capital (VC) stage financing. Using information about the physical location of an entrepreneurial firm and the geographic distance between the VC investor and the firm, I show that VC investors located farther away from an entrepreneurial firm tend to finance the firm using a larger number of financing rounds, shorter durations between successive rounds, and investing a smaller amount in each round. However, VC investors' propensity to stage is independent of whether the firm is located in a close-knit community. I also find that VC staging positively affects the entrepreneurial firm's propensity to go public, operating performance in the initial public offering (IPO) year, and post-IPO survival rate, but only if the firm is located far away from the VC investor. However, the effect of VC staging on entrepreneurial firm's performance is independent of whether it is located in a close-knit community. The findings are robust to a variety of alternative proximity measures, instrumental variables, and econometric approaches for dealing with endogeneity problems.     

New directions for futures research —setting the stage

Futures research is currently in a state of abeyance and may well be approaching a critical crossroad. In order to survive it needs to dispense with its tendency to be ‘all things to all people’, dealing with almost any activity that involves the future, and define for itself a unique and synthesizing role within a larger forecasting and planning framework. The primary focus of futures research in the next decade should be in the public sector where the need is greater, however a clear separation must be maintained between its advocacy (value-driven) activities and those that are conceptual and analytical.
