The Power of One
Brion Schweers 8/27/2003 12:00:00 AM
The typical mid-market company that has roughly $350 million in annual revenue, has not fully automated its business processes, and would gladly give up its legacy systems if everything could work from one server, and give the executives the information they need in the process. Another opinion in the dilemma - the one-stop shop versus best-of breed concept.

Epicor Conducts Its Own ROI Acquisition Rationale Part Three: Challenges and User Recommendations
P.J. Jakovljevic 8/25/2003 12:00:00 AM
Despite notable functional and technological initiatives, the challenge for Epicor and its affiliate channel also remains the management of multiple flagship ERP product lines. Also, while the products may have their separate niches, they will in many more instances be similar enough to confuse former separate Epicor and ROI Systems' direct sales reps and value-added resellers (VARs) in selling the combined portfolio.

Epicor Conducts Its Own ROI Acquisition Rationale Part Two: Market Impact
P.J. Jakovljevic 8/23/2003 12:00:00 AM
Given Epicor's ordeal of the past and the fact that divesting several lateral products in 2001 will have greatly helped it achieve some much needed stability nowadays, one could wonder about the wisdom of the renewed Epicor’s appetite for acquisitions.

Epicor Conducts Its Own ROI Acquisition Rationale
P.J. Jakovljevic 8/22/2003 12:00:00 AM
Given the "once bitten, twice shy" adage, one should imagine Epicor has carefully thought out the rationale for the recent acquisitions of ROI Systems and TDC Solutions, so that they are not a knee-jerk, 'me too' impulse owing to the ongoing consolidation craze in the market.

Product Configurators Pave the Way for Mass Customization
Helen Xie,Joseph Neelamkavil 8/21/2003 12:00:00 AM
'Mass customization' is the buzzword of the current decade. Customers demand products with lower prices, higher quality and faster delivery; yet they also want products customized to match their unique needs. A product configurator that enables manufacturers to efficiently deliver customized products by automating product configuration processes is one of the key promising technologies in implementing mass customization.

Lose the Starry Eyes, Analyze: Reviewing the Ideal Candidate for EMR Innovations ProcessPro
Josh Chalifour 8/20/2003 12:00:00 AM
This is an examination of EMR Innovations' ProcessPro ERP solution. Companies can begin determining if it is worthwhile to pursue a relationship with EMR Innovations by considering the selection criteria which are most supported by the vendor. We ask the question, all things being equal, which modules are the most complete in their contribution to the product's functionality.

Has The BI Market Consolidation Been Crystal-Clearly Actuated? Part Three: Competition and User Recommendations.
P.J. Jakovljevic 8/19/2003 12:00:00 AM
Users choosing point planning or BI products should consider the integration infrastructure and effort needed to combine these products versus the cost and functionality issues of choosing an integrated CPM product suite (if still possible to find). Mission-critical issues like scalability, reliability, manageability and ease-of-use go without saying.

Has The BI Market Consolidation Been Crystal-Clearly Actuated? Part Two: Market Impact
P.J. Jakovljevic 8/18/2003 12:00:00 AM
In addition to products' rationalization, the integration at sales and cultural levels will be challenging. In general, existing customers of involved merging vendors should be alert, but they should still look at these events as positive.

Has The BI Market Consolidation Been Crystal-Clearly Actuated?
P.J. Jakovljevic 8/17/2003 12:00:00 AM
Although the recent spate of acquisitions in the business intelligence market, especially marked with Business Object’s acquisition of Crystal, Hyperion’s acquisition of Brio, and Actuate’s acquisition of Nimble, may bear resemblance to the raging consolidation in the ERP market, the underlying reasons for the first one are not that simplistic.
