Lawson Software-IPO and Several Acquisitions After Part Three: Market Impact
P.J. Jakovljevic 11/8/2003 12:00:00 AM
In several aspects, Lawson Software could be regarded as an enterprise applications market anomaly. For one, at its peak in fiscal 2002, the company boasted annual revenues of nearly $430 million, but it still has only a slender (less than 10 percent of revenues) presence outside of its US domestic market. Further, it remains a major force in enterprise applications software, yet it does not cater the functionality to manufacturing sectors, and the vastness of its sales are thus derived from just a few service-oriented vertical markets-primarily health care and retail.

The Different Evolutionary Stages of ERP and PLM
Jim Brown,Predrag Jakovljevic 10/9/2003 12:00:00 AM
The product development life cycle - innovate, conceptualize, plan, design, procure, produce, deliver, service, and retire - naturally includes multiple people, operating in multiple departments, and typically from multiple companies, each with locations in multiple countries around the world. Solving inherent difficulties that result from managing this complexity are the raison d’être for PLM solutions.

Can Auditing and Project Management Co-Exist in an ERP Environment?
Joseph Strub 9/2/2003 12:00:00 AM
It is hard to recall the last time an ERP implementation team included an auditor as an active member. This article explores key points in a project's lifecycle where the audit function should be involved and the deliverables to be expected.

Single Source or Best of Breed - The Debate Continues
Olin Thompson 9/1/2003 12:00:00 AM
This will never be a clear-cut decision - it is all about the trade-offs.

Has The BI Market Consolidation Been Crystal-Clearly Actuated? Part Three: Competition and User Recommendations.
P.J. Jakovljevic 8/19/2003 12:00:00 AM
Users choosing point planning or BI products should consider the integration infrastructure and effort needed to combine these products versus the cost and functionality issues of choosing an integrated CPM product suite (if still possible to find). Mission-critical issues like scalability, reliability, manageability and ease-of-use go without saying.

Has The BI Market Consolidation Been Crystal-Clearly Actuated? Part Two: Market Impact
P.J. Jakovljevic 8/18/2003 12:00:00 AM
In addition to products' rationalization, the integration at sales and cultural levels will be challenging. In general, existing customers of involved merging vendors should be alert, but they should still look at these events as positive.

Has The BI Market Consolidation Been Crystal-Clearly Actuated?
P.J. Jakovljevic 8/17/2003 12:00:00 AM
Although the recent spate of acquisitions in the business intelligence market, especially marked with Business Object’s acquisition of Crystal, Hyperion’s acquisition of Brio, and Actuate’s acquisition of Nimble, may bear resemblance to the raging consolidation in the ERP market, the underlying reasons for the first one are not that simplistic.

Geac Gets Its Commonsense Share Of Consolidation, With Revolving Door CEOs No Less Part Three: Challenges and User Recommendations
P.J. Jakovljevic 8/14/2003 12:00:00 AM
The rejuvenated management team has done a praiseworthy job of bringing the company back to health while concurrently unveiling a new System21 product that can compete with the other products in the market. Deep vertical functionality, process integration, and the communication of a detailed product strategy blueprint to the market should help users manage total cost of ownership (TCO) during this era of conservative IT budgets.

BI Market Consolidation Compared to ERP Market Consolidation
P.J. Jakovljevic 8/9/2003 12:00:00 AM
The BI market is ripe for consolidation, but not necessarily for the reason of capturing the scarce remaining market share like in the ERP case, but more likely for the reasons of garnering the most complete CPM portfolio.

IBM Express-es Its Candid Desire For SMEs Part Two: Market Impact
P.J. Jakovljevic 8/5/2003 12:00:00 AM
SMEs have recently begun to seek integration platforms that address the end-to-end business process management (BPM) rather than the traditional pesky point-to-point interconnectivity solutions. IBM's strategy of selling WebSphere Express through local VARs and of letting smaller enterprises deploy only what they need in an incremental fashion, should go a long way with the current buying patterns.
