P.J. Jakovljevic 8/20/2007 12:00:00 AM
If retailers in the vertical market of fashion apparel do not constantly refresh their presentation and assortment for consumers, they run the risk of being overtaken by their competition, regardless of how competitively they source and deliver.

No One Said Sourcing Overseas Would Be Easy
P.J. Jakovljevic 8/17/2007 12:00:00 AM
The many challenges and risks that retailers face when sourcing globally could be mitigated with the right software tools. Yet the sad fact is that few information technology systems fully support the complexities and unique requirements of global trade.

The Anatomy of Retail Sourcing Processes
P.J. Jakovljevic 8/15/2007 12:00:00 AM
The most successful retailers are those that continually focus on driving the very best performance from each of their suppliers, and that work collaboratively to improve performance in areas such as on-time delivery, product quality, and regulatory compliance.

The Promise (and Complexities) of Private Labels
P.J. Jakovljevic 8/13/2007 12:00:00 AM
Recent studies have shown that retail winners (that is, companies that outperform their peers in year-over-year, comparable store sales) carry a significantly higher percentage of private label merchandise than their competitors do.

The Blessing and Curse of Global Sourcing and Supplier Management
P.J. Jakovljevic 8/6/2007 12:00:00 AM
The appeal of global sourcing is understandable given the benefits of seemingly lower costs. But without discerning hidden challenges and eliminating potential shortcomings, the process may be more costly than anticipated—a situation especially true for companies using inadequate, out-of-date enterprise information technology infrastructures.

Is There a Way to Avoid Lengthy Catalog Numbers?
P.J. Jakovljevic 6/22/2007 12:00:00 AM
A sales configurator needs to be able to "decipher" products' specifications from a rule-based, constructed catalog number. Part number users should query vendors to determine whether their enterprise solutions cater to the needs of industrial automation manufacturers.

Can We Intelligently Use Part Numbers to Configure and Order the Right Products?
P.J. Jakovljevic 6/20/2007 12:00:00 AM
In the industrial automation industry, an overlooked, fatal flaw of sales configurator solutions is their inability to simultaneously configure part numbers and products. A greater concern is their inability to "decipher" product specifications from part numbers—that is, in reverse.

Requirement Traceability—A Tester's Approach
Neha Grover 4/30/2007 12:00:00 AM
The value of a requirement traceability matrix is in its ability to track and monitor each requirement to be incorporated into the customer's product throughout the entire process of product development, and to detect defects at the earliest stage possible.

The Challenges of Defining and Managing Governance, Risk Management, and Compliance
P.J. Jakovljevic 3/9/2007 12:00:00 AM
A broader, more structured approach is needed to effectively manage governance, risk management, and compliance (GRC). Enterprises will then be better able to guide their people, standardize their processes, and unify technology to embed GRC at all organizational levels.

P.J. Jakovljevic 3/7/2007 12:00:00 AM
The growing number of legal and regulatory requirements associated with global trading is one of many reasons enterprises are looking into global trade management applications, and into harnessing the up-and-coming, strategic software category of governance, risk management, and compliance.
