SAP Bolsters NetWeaver's MDM Capabilities Part Three: Market Impact
P.J. Jakovljevic 12/3/2004 12:00:00 AM
As business applications' scope continues to expand, so does a propagation of data sources across the businesses and IT systems. Achieving consistent understanding of this scattered data has become a major hurdle to improved business processes, with redundancy, waste and a plethora of lost opportunities as a result.

The Name and Ownership Change Roulette Wheel for Marcam Stops at SSA Global Part Six: Competition, Vendor, and User Recommendations
P.J. Jakovljevic 10/20/2004 12:00:00 AM
Customers and the marketplace may have forgotten who Marcam is and what it stands for. The new owner must, for that reason, communicate its successes and strategy to the marketplace, and aggressively invest in customer satisfaction, marketing, and sales.

The Name and Ownership Change Roulette Wheel for Marcam Stops at SSA Global Part Five: Merger Impact and Challenges
P.J. Jakovljevic 10/19/2004 12:00:00 AM
Like previous SSA Global's acquisitions, this merger too seems aimed at enlarging the existing customer base, market share, and, more importantly, the predictably recurring support revenue and consequently larger R&D pool.

Process Manufacturers--Great Batch, Every Batch
Olin Thompson 8/30/2004 12:00:00 AM
If you run one hundred batches, some will be great, some will be terrible. But what causes some to be great and some to be terrible? Knowing the answer to that question can mean no more terrible batches, many more great ones, and making more money.

P.J. Jakovljevic 7/29/2004 12:00:00 AM

PeopleSoft Revamps World for Its Mid-Market "Express" Conquest Part Three: Strengths
P.J. Jakovljevic 7/28/2004 12:00:00 AM
PeopleSoft's solutions within enterprise resource planning (ERP), customer relationship management (CRM), supply chain management (SCM), enterprise portals, business intelligence (BI), and supplier relationship management (SRM) functionality provide a wide scope of features, and very few smaller vendors can provide tightly integrated applications of this magnitude under one umbrella.

PeopleSoft Revamps World for Its Mid-Market "Express" Conquest Part Two: Market Impact
P.J. Jakovljevic 7/27/2004 12:00:00 AM
The major factors of success in business applications for the mid-market segment have traditionally been--flexible pricing, packaging and deployment options; speed of implementation; vertical focus; interconnectivity to other applications and legacy systems; product scalability and scope expandability; Internet and wireless device accessibility; low cost business-to-business (B2B) electronic connectivity; and a single point of contact possibly with a local consulting and implementation support. PeopleSoft seems to have captured (or at least tackled) most of these.

Is MAPICS Getting the Magic of PLM? Part One: Recent Events and Market Impact
Jim Brown,P.J. Jakovljevic 7/20/2004 12:00:00 AM
The former die-hard IBM AS/400-based enterprise resource planning (ERP) supplier to mid-market manufacturing companies, MAPICS, seems to have found its soul after the recent acquisition of its former competitor Frontstep and Frontstep's extended-ERP product line on a Microsoft .NET-based technology platform. While another acquisition of an ERP competitor is not very likely, MAPICS seems to have rather opted for lateral acquisitions of strategic extension products, starting with the MAGIK! PLM product.
