David Cameron 5/30/2003 12:00:00 AM

Kevin Ramesan 4/18/2003 12:00:00 AM
Two of the greatest challenges IT decision makers face when selecting a CRM package is first, having a comprehensive understanding of their functional and technical requirements and second, identifying the vendors that best match their requirements.

What's Wrong With Application Software? Business Processes Cross Application Boundaries
Jim Brown 2/27/2003 12:00:00 AM

The Strategic Importance of Asset Management Part Three: A New Framework
Daryl Mather 12/20/2003 12:00:00 AM
Managing assets needs to be done in a truly proactive approach, one that ties the management of physical assets to the corporate objectives.

The Strategic Importance of Asset Management Part Two: Implications
Daryl Mather 12/19/2003 12:00:00 AM
The changing attitudes, understandings of physical assets and market conditions bring a broad array of implications for those responsible for asset management. The majority of these can be explained as "new accountabilities." Many of these are accountabilities leveled at, or within, corporations themselves. However many will also be directed at the individuals taking or overseeing these decisions, often with daunting consequences for failure.

Geac Gets Its Commonsense Share Of Consolidation, With Revolving Door CEOs No Less
P.J. Jakovljevic 8/12/2003 12:00:00 AM
By continuing to achieve stable financial performance and leverage customer requirements to deliver new product enhancements, as well as undertake palatable acquisitions such as Comshare, Geac might well overcome a lingering general feeling that it missed its opportunity to be a top-notch applications vendor.
