Mobile applications need to be secured. It's not a question of "if" but "when" attacks will occur.
 Written by Madan Divaker
Today, many organizations are rushing to build mobile applications and mobile websites to gain a competitive advantage within their industry. The rate and speed at which applications are being pushed into the marketplace is phenomenal and is only increasing with the explosion of mobile devices. Traditional businesses have been forced to think outside of the box to leverage mobile devices in innovative and creative ways, partly from pressure by their competitors and their own employees with the growing trend of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) to work.

 Written by Steve Pitcher
As per announcement letters 313-040 and 313-041, IBM has added POWER7+ hardware to the list of qualifying and eligible products in their software solutions' first-in-location or competitive migration rebate programs. You can receive a rebate equal to the total invoice price of the eligible new ISV software licenses acquired, up to a maximum rebate that is dependent upon the eligible new server minimum configurations outlined in the announcement letters. For example, if you purchase an ISV solution that costs $10,000, that's what you're entitled to as a rebate if the eligible hardware rebate value is greater than or equal to $10,000.

Users need a flexible query tool that is powerful and easy to use.
 Written by Heath Kath
Is your query tool up to date and function-rich? Are you able to build queries that end users, managers, and departments can use? Can it collect data from or send data to other systems or platforms? Does it provide run-time prompting? Does it handle data-mapping errors, especially around numeric date fields? Does it take advantage of SQL Query Engine (SQE) to improve run-time performance? Does it provide multiple interfaces—green-screen, Web browser, and GUI? Can it send query results directly to a PC document (.xlsx, PDF, text, HTML, etc.)?

 Written by Kent Milligan
As the utilization of SQL triggers continues to rise, some developers are being challenged by the fact that they must define a separate SQL trigger for each database event they want to associate with a trigger. Consider a developer who wants to use SQL triggers to ensure that any Insert or Update operation against the customer table always stores the company name value with all uppercase characters. In this situation, the developer would have to create two triggers: one trigger for the Insert event and one for the Update event.
