Resilient Supply Chains: The Next Frontier
Bill McBeath 4/23/2004 12:00:00 AM
Advances in leaner and faster supply chains have, in many cases, come at the price of increased brittleness. It is time to make supply chains more resilient, and deal with risk more intelligently to maintain the gains from lean strategies, and take performance to the next level.

Ann Grackin 2/12/2004 12:00:00 AM
Here we are in the New Year. So, what should the going forward picture be of the Supply Chain portfolio? Something old, something new, something from a service provider, something blue. OK, enough of that.

Understanding SOA, Web Services, BPM, and BPEL Part Two: BPEL and User Recommendations
P.J. Jakovljevic 12/23/2004 12:00:00 AM
In a somewhat simplified language, while Web services allow applications to easily exchange and reuse information, it is only when they are orchestrated (coordinated) into long-running business flows or processes that enterprises can realize their true value.

Understanding SOA, Web Services, BPM, BPEL, and More Part One: SOA, Web Services, and BPM
P.J. Jakovljevic 12/22/2004 12:00:00 AM
In the larger schema of things, SOA would espouse general, more abstract concepts of software reusability and encapsulation within certain boundaries (as to then provide access to that software via defined interfaces), Web services would then make these SOA concepts vendor-independent due to their use of generally accepted standards, while BPM and BPEL would be some of the engines making the whole system work.

SAP Bolsters NetWeaver's MDM Capabilities Part One: Event Summary
P.J. Jakovljevic 12/1/2004 12:00:00 AM
SAP's determination to become a service-oriented architecture (SOA) applications lingua franca evangelist through SAP NetWeaver might have been further shown by its recent willingness to acquire catalog and product content management (PCM) vendor A2i, knowing its inclination to acquire little when it comes to technology vendors. Apparently, there should be some compelling time-to-market urge to add PCM value within the master data management (MDM) realm.
