3. Opinion: Are Contactless Payment Cards Tickets to Wholesale
Fraud?

mind-boggling, according to Jeff Chasney, CIO of CKE
Restaurants.

5. Feature: Enterprise Search

Enterprise Search has changed dramatically from something
used strictly by the corporate information professional to
search text documents, to end users entering a word or two
in a text box, to the ability to search across multiple
types of data stored in different locations. Enterprise
Search products now search spreadsheets, PDF files, graphics,
audio, information in CRM systems and more, all in one query.

Enterprise Search products range from several thousand
dollars to several hundred thousand dollars. Our analysis
explores the issues and helps clarify which products can
meet your requirements.
