P.J. Jakovljevic 11/20/2004 12:00:00 AM

Inovis Delves into PIM by Snatching QRS Part Four: Market Impact
P.J. Jakovljevic 11/19/2004 12:00:00 AM
While owing to a number of similar products and to former competition between the merging parties this merger has a merit of growth by acquisition in a slow growing (or even declining) EDI-VAN market, the merger of Inovis and QRS may well emphasize some interesting dynamics within the retail market segment.

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.

Not All Acquisitions Happen: JDA and QRS Part Two: Market Impact
P.J. Jakovljevic 11/4/2004 12:00:00 AM
The QRS acquisition by JDA would have eventually brought together two providers of complementary e-commerce products that would help retailers, manufacturers, and suppliers manage and sell their products to other companies and customers on-line.
