Delivery Architecture - What it Means...
Lucy West 6/28/2005 12:00:00 AM
Once we cross the border of the enterprise, traditional enterprise-centric systems fail to provide visibility or a way to understand and act, all in sync with our supply chain partners. This is why the delivery architecture of an application is critical, especially for addressing multi-enterprise interactions.

The Future of SOA-based Applications and Infrastructure
Olin Thompson,P.J. Jakovljevic 5/7/2005 12:00:00 AM
The ultimate winner in the SOA market will have to provide industry-specific solutions solving essential problems that others cannot. Focus must move away from technology lock-in and vendor dependency, to best solutions for customers, even if it means customers can use competitor products.

SOA as a Foundation for Applications and Infrastructure
Olin Thompson,P.J. Jakovljevic 5/6/2005 12:00:00 AM
SOA promises interoperability in the heterogeneous business world by promoting loosely-coupled architecture, reusing software, and ending vendor-dependency. However, to be viable, dominant vendors must redesign and expose the hundreds of application functions as services. How are they meeting this challenge?

SOA-based Applications and Infrastructure--The Next Frontier?
Olin Thompson,P.J. Jakovljevic 5/5/2005 12:00:00 AM
Leading enterprise applications vendors believe it is crucial to quickly complete the transition to a service oriented architecture (SOA) from monolithic client/server architectures.

Lorne MacDonald 1/29/2005 12:00:00 AM
Many organizations have tried to address their maintenance scheduling woes by introducing new and sometimes very advanced technologies. The reality is that trying to automate something that's broken will cause even more frustration and finger-pointing.

Smaller Vendors Can Still Provide Relevant Business Systems Part Three: Project Oriented Organizations
P.J. Jakovljevic 1/26/2005 12:00:00 AM
The unique business needs of project-oriented organizations, when addressed by large ERP vendors that offer general-purpose enterprise software, typically require heavy customization in order to work. On the other hand, when project-oriented organizations turn to small off-the-shelf project-management solutions, these solutions are soon outgrown by the user company.

Federal Contract Management and Vendors' Readiness Part Three: Meeting Federal Requirements
P.J. Jakovljevic 1/14/2005 12:00:00 AM
Companies that are not already offering the capabilities of meeting the exacting, stringent requirements of federal agencies will likely not be able to tap the recent surge in the federal and defense markets. Conversely, those vendors and their users--government contractors--who can deliver comprehensive solutions that satisfy the requirements of federal agencies are in the driver's seat to capture that market segment.
