UVOD Zaposleni v vsakem podjetju dnevno pridobivajo ogromne količine informacij. Vsakokrat, kadar se nekdo oglasi na telefon in se pogovarja s stranko, se odpravi na poslovni sestanek ali sledi obetavni priložnosti, lahko izve nekaj novega in potencialno vrednega. Nekateri pridobljene podatke hranijo v svojem spominu, drugi na lepilnih listkih, v zvezkih ali pa v elektronskih preglednicah. V takšnih primerih lahko pozabijo kakšne pomembne podrobnosti, kot so datumi in vsebina sestankov, datumi telefonskih pogovorov ipd. Poleg tega mora vodstvo v podjetjih dnevno delegirati zaposlene po prioritetnih opravilih, kar pa brez ustreznih informacij temelji zgolj na ugibanju. Največja poslovna škoda pa nastane v primeru, da zaposleni odpovedo delovno razmerje in odidejo skupaj z vsemi težko pridobljenimi in dragocenimi informacijami o strankah. Rešitve za takšne težave nam nudijo sistemi CRM [1]. CRM (»Customer Relationship Management«), oziroma slovensko »upravljanje odnosov s strankami« zajema številne strategije in tehnologije, ki se uporabljajo za vzdrževanje boljših odnosov med podjetji in njihovimi strankami. Podjetja podatke in informacije o svojih strankah shranjujejo in jih nato analizirajo. Nekatere od metod, povezanih s CRM, so avtomatizirane, njihov cilj pa je kreiranje marketinških strategij, ki temeljijo na potrošniških navadah. V prihodnosti uporabljene strategije so odvisne od informacij, ki so vsebovane v sistemu. V preteklih dvajsetih letih je CRM vedno pomembnejši iz številnih razlogov. Eden med njimi je velika konkurenca na svetovnem trgu, zaradi katere lahko stranke izbirajo med različnimi ponudniki enakih storitev in se odločajo za tiste, s katerimi so bolj zadovoljne. Med primarnimi cilji CRM je vzdrževanje odnosov s trenutnimi strankami, zaradi učinkovitosti sistema pa lahko podjetja s svojimi strankami sklepajo dolgotrajna partnerstva. Orodja za upravljanje odnosov s strankami so navadno v obliki programske 1 opreme, programi pa se med seboj razlikujejo predvsem po načinu pristopa. Pomembno je, da se zavedamo dejstva, da CRM ni le tehnologija, ampak veliko več [2]. Diplomsko delo je sestavljeno iz petih poglavij.

  • IBM Power Systems L and LC Server Positioning Guide
    Front cover IBM Power Systems L and LC Server Positioning Guide Tonny Bastiaans Andrew Laidlaw Redpaper IBM Power Systems L and IBM OpenPOWER LC Server Positioning Guide This IBM® Redpaper™ publication is written to assist you in locating the optimal server/workload fit within the IBM Power Systems™ L and IBM OpenPOWER LC product lines. IBM has announced several scale-out servers, and as a partner in the OpenPOWER organization, unique design characteristics that are engineered into the LC line have broadened the suite of available workloads beyond typical client OS hosting. This paper looks at the benefits of the Power Systems L servers and OpenPOWER LC servers, and how they are different, providing unique benefits for Enterprise workloads and use cases. The Power L and OpenPOWER LC servers are shown in the following figure. © Copyright IBM Corp. 2016. All rights reserved. ibm.com/redbooks 1 The IBM POWER8 processor IBM POWER8® technology is used in a family of superscalar, symmetric multiprocessors based on the IBM Power Architecture®. POWER8 is designed for big data, so IBM designed a massively multithreaded chip, with each of its cores capable of handling eight hardware threads simultaneously. The processor uses very large amounts of on-chip and off-chip eDRAM caches, and on-chip memory controllers enable very high bandwidth to memory and system I/O. In 2016, a revised version of the POWER8 chip was announced: the POWER8 with NVLink processor variant. This new processor includes the NVIDIA bus technology NVLink, enabling high bandwidth, low latency connections to four NVLink capable devices directly to the chip.
