Epicor Claims The Forefront Of CRM.NET-ification. Part 2: Market Impact and User Recommendations
P.J. Jakovljevic 6/12/2002 12:00:00 AM
Epicor’s ability to enhance its products and its determination on executing product and technology strategies deserves commendation. Current users are advised to follow Epicor's new product introductions and keep an eye on its future product strategy.

Facing A Selection? Try A Knowledge-Based Matchmaker Part 4: User Recommendations
P.J. Jakovljevic 3/11/2002 12:00:00 AM
This tutorial identifies the significance of researching technology vendors to both buyers and vendors/VARs. Buyers require research to determine the short list and vendors/VARs can use research to assess the viability of opportunities before committing time and money to a sales effort. Since a 'one-size-fits-all' product is still not a viable solution for most clients, the ability of technology products to meet clients' needs depends on client requirements. The Catch 22 for both buyers and vendors/VARs is to pinpoint the right match in this ongoing 'dating game'.
