White Paper Examples

One of the skills which is very necessary to a Business Analyst, is the ability to communicate to different audiences with different levels of understanding, and sometimes differing agendas.  These same skills are also very useful as an author...  The following examples are a selection of White Papers, produced for various clients and differing readerships, which will give an indication of the scope of my writing skills.

Managing Risk and Business Security

Like it or not, virtually every single business today is heavily reliant on the integrity of its data. Not just for things like Intellectual Property Rights, your patents and secrets, or for your years of stored accounting records, but for almost every single day-to-day operation. The Sales team needs to process their big new orders, the Purchasing department managing your state-of-the-art, just-in-time ordering system, even the folks in the warehouse making sure inventory goes in and out to the right places at the right times. Every one of these is completely reliant on the computer system to be able to do their job, and if the system breaks then the whole business is in trouble.

This technique was commonly used in the earlydays of communications to enable several devices to share one physical link. This process involved chopping the data streams into discrete chunks, interleaving them in one data path, and then reassembling the pieces at the far end to give the appearance of a continuous single connection. In the communications world,the limiting factors are the physical performance of the real connection, and the number of simultaneous streams being “multiplexed.” In the world of tape backup, multiplexing is quite similar.
