Server and Desktop Solutions: What the Research Means for Small and Medium Enterprises
Igor Grubisic 12/20/2006 12:00:00 AM
Different types of organizations show distinct preferences when assigning importance to the criteria on which to base their operating system selection. Small and medium enterprises need to carefully analyze the available data to accurately evaluate their strategic IT investments.

Choosing Between Linux and Microsoft Windows Using an Analytical Hierarchy Process
Igor Grubisic 12/19/2006 12:00:00 AM
Because small to medium enterprises are limited in their resources, they must carefully consider which of the two major operating systems available—Microsoft Windows or Linux—will better serve their needs and be more cost-efficient to implement.

Evaluating Strategic Information Technology Investment: An Appraisal of Software Alternatives for Small to Medium Enterprises
Igor Grubisic 12/18/2006 12:00:00 AM
The problem of information technology investments particularly concerns small and medium enterprises, as they are much more limited in resources than large enterprises. One of the critical questions is whether to implement an open source or closed source solution.

The Modelling Approach to Post-implementation Agility in Enterprise Systems
Olin Thompson,P.J. Jakovljevic 10/11/2006 12:00:00 AM
Change happens, and it will always happen in virtually every business environment. The underlying enterprise system should thus be an aid to changing the business, rather than an obstacle, as is the usual case today.

Microsoft .NET-managed Code Enablement: Examples and Challenges
P.J. Jakovljevic 10/5/2006 12:00:00 AM
Intuitive, Visibility, and Epicor offer .NET Framework-managed code products, but their "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" mindset might work against them unless they can prove higher value propositions, such as new, more quickly developed vertical functionality.

Microsoft .NET Enablement: Analysis and Cautions
P.J. Jakovljevic 10/4/2006 12:00:00 AM
Using technologies that are intrinsically compatible should result in faster and less costly development. Thus, any application suite rewritten in the Microsoft .NET managed code framework should not have to contend with inefficiencies resulting from mixing or wrapping technologies.

Examples of Microsoft .NET Enablement
P.J. Jakovljevic 10/3/2006 12:00:00 AM
SYSPRO and Epicor are examples of .NET-enabled legacy software systems that have partly been componentized (rewritten), with "wrappers" added to the rest so that the legacy functionality can be used and extended through Web services on the .NET Framework.

Subtle (or Not-so-subtle) Nuances of Microsoft .NET Enablement
P.J. Jakovljevic 10/2/2006 12:00:00 AM
The Microsoft .NET strategy continues to confuse many, due to the lack of understanding of the technology. Indeed, because of the massive marketing campaign undertaken by Microsoft, many vendors have adopted a "too liberal" approach to marketing .NET Framework-based initiatives.

Architecture Evolution: Service-oriented Architecture versus Web Services
P.J. Jakovljevic 9/20/2006 12:00:00 AM
Collaboration and interoperability are critical where multiple business units reside under one larger corporation, or where there is a requirement to integrate the system into a disparate system when a business-to-business or business-to-consumer extension is part of the business model.

Architecture Evolution: From Web-based to Service-oriented Architecture
P.J. Jakovljevic 9/19/2006 12:00:00 AM
Traditional enterprise systems have proven difficult to change and extend. The inherent problem of old core code and business logic duplication is part of the reason traditional enterprise resource planning systems have not readily taken to e-commerce.
