CRM Testing Throughout Implementation
James Lyndsay 10/13/2004 12:00:00 AM
In terms of strategic partnerships, the acquirer is responsible for judging how well customer relationship management (CRM) software will function on the equipment and at the site, and with staff, customers, and third-party applications. Acceptance testing involves three basic flavors: user acceptance, operational acceptance, and contractual acceptance. While it is not the only step involved when implementing a CRM system, testing is a fundamental way of finding information and will help you judge a system’s returns and pitfalls.

Program Testing Methodology Part Two: Running Tests and Getting Approval
Dr. Edward J. Moskal 8/7/2004 12:00:00 AM
After testing procedures have been created and the type of test data has been determined, link or string testing, and system testing must be executed to ensure the job stream is correct and to locate errors before production. Backup and restart testing must be also be conducted to ensure that the restart points within the system are accurately defined. Finally, to demonstrate the benefits and functionality of the system, management and user approval should be received.

Program Testing Methodology Part One: Preparing for Testing
Dr. Edward J. Moskal 8/6/2004 12:00:00 AM
Program testing and debugging is one of the most critical aspects of implementing a computer system. Without programs which properly work, the system will never process information and produce the output for which it was designed. Testing procedures should be established and testing roles should be demarcated between the programmer and the analyst. Once this is done, test data that can test the limits of the program should then be created.

Leveraging Technology to Maintain a Competitive Edge During Tough Economic Times -- A Panel Discussion Analyzed Part Six: Custom Development and Single-Vendor versus Multi-Vendor
P.J. Jakovljevic 5/22/2004 12:00:00 AM
As componentization and Web services mature, packaged software will be less rigid and easier to adjust to unique practices-- thereby gaining some of the benefit of the custom approach. Although an enterprise can generate many benefits from standardization, it may also create other issues that may often result in disruptions.

Whose ROI is it Anyway? Part Two: Sorting Through Claims
Dennis J. Crane 4/13/2004 12:00:00 AM
ROI (return on investment) has taken on new importance in examining business initiatives and programs that often involve deployment of enterprise software and information technology. In some cases, "Show me the ROI" has become a smokescreen for "Let's wait and see" or, "Go away. Don't bother me."

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.

Mainstream Enterprise Vendors Begin to Grasp Content Management Part Three: Challenges
P.J. Jakovljevic 11/13/2004 12:00:00 AM
To conduct collaborative processes, businesses need embedded intelligence, and business intelligence (BI) or analytics applications focused on structured data offer only a part of the total solution. In other words, businesses also need content management for the unstructured data and content, which can contain a majority of business information, given that many decisions makers collaborate via e-mail or voicemail, which are examples of vast unstructured info that currently resides outside of business processes and of the reach of ERP and BI systems.
