Service Chain Information will Transform the Total Chain
Ann Grackin 6/22/2004 12:00:00 AM
Moving to a performance-based service business model will have huge implications for the whole value chain. Its principle is to manage for outcomes—procure performance rather than parts and people. It requires total business process reorientation from services and maintenance through procurement techniques, as well as the IT platform for integration.

Leveraging Technology to Maintain a Competitive Edge During Tough Economic Times -- A Panel Discussion Analyzed Part Two: Business Process Modeling
P.J. Jakovljevic 5/18/2004 12:00:00 AM
Business processes must be enabled across the artificial boundaries of disparate applications that must work together to support these business processes. To that end, business process management (BPM) could assist in compliance issues, can reduce training requirements, and increase the overall efficiency of a business.

Integrating All Information Assets Part Two: Why is integration an issue?
Cindy Jutras 4/15/2004 12:00:00 AM
Successful e-businesses of the future will be those who treat e-business as the collection of processes, which allow multiple companies to work cooperatively and collaboratively to produce a seemingly seamless integration of businesses operating as a virtually vertical enterprise. And with this integration of business processes comes the requirement to integrate disparate business applications. This is an excerpt from the book ERP Optimization (Subtitle: Using Your Existing System to Support Profitable E-Business Initiatives).

High Performance Organizations Are Driven by the Power of Enterprise Business Events
Ram Ramdas 4/7/2004 12:00:00 AM

This article attempts to examine the issues involved and offer some answers.

Enterprise Applications--The Genesis and Future, Revisited Part Six: Looking to the Future
P.J. Jakovljevic 4/6/2004 12:00:00 AM
Unless all the functional modules have access to and use the same data in near real-time, unless all processes are fully integrated (so that, for example a mobile sales rep can see the live inventory data for order promising), and unless users can seamlessly move from one module to another, we are not talking about coherency but rather about the hodgepodge of disconnected (or very loosely connected, in the best scenario) islands of information.

P.J. Jakovljevic 4/3/2004 12:00:00 AM

Olin Thompson 1/3/2004 12:00:00 AM
Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) can bring significant business value in the world of technical data, but its justification must be derived from business management improvements.
