How Supply Chain Projects Morph Into Black Holes
Steve McVey 10/19/2002 12:00:00 AM
For all but a few astronomers, black holes are unknown in the realm of ordinary experience. Analogs do exist, however, in the more terrestrial domain of business process reengineering and take the form of supply chain management implementations. Real-life examples offer insights that may help prevent your supply chain project from collapsing into oblivion and taking your enterprise with it.

CEO,Greg Leman,Inc.,Metagenix 10/17/2002 12:00:00 AM
No matter how well an enterprise implements a CRM, ERP, SCM, Business Intelligence, or Data Warehouse project, poor data quality can destroy its utility and cost real dollars.

Agilisys Continues Agilely Post-SCT Part 3: Challenges and User Recommendations
P.J. Jakovljevic 10/16/2002 12:00:00 AM
Still, although it is indisputably better that Agilisys had not stayed any longer under a parent that did not quite fathom its direction, and had even imposed a heavy overhead burden on it to be part of that company, and hindered its growth, the company faces both new and many old challenges.

Agilisys Continues Agilely Post-SCT Part 2: Market Impact
P.J. Jakovljevic 10/15/2002 12:00:00 AM
Agilisys is also leveraging its former parent's pedigree on professional services and outsourcing, the 'Concept to Customer' and 'Early Upgrade Program' being good examples of the company’s focus on customer engaging product implementations and customizations.

Agilisys Continues Agilely Post-SCT
P.J. Jakovljevic 10/14/2002 12:00:00 AM

Merger Mania At Its Extremes Part 2: Challenges & User Recommendations
P.J. Jakovljevic 10/10/2002 12:00:00 AM
While the merger is justifiable it does not provide the new entity with much room for mistakes. SynQuest also needs to quickly figure out the best combination of its disparate products and technologies and articulate a clear and assuring message to the market that it can deliver a strategy for the planning, executing, and adaptive management of supply chains in a foreseeable future.

Merger Mania At Its Extremes
P.J. Jakovljevic 10/9/2002 12:00:00 AM
Other than for the peculiarity of a ‘love triangle’, the merger of SynQuest, Viwlocity and Tilion might be a harbinger of SCEM’s annexation by the realm of SCM, in which case, with a similar phenomenon of ERP absorbing MRP over a decade ago, history would repeat itself.

Fourth Shift's evolution Within SoftBrands' DemandStream Part 2: Challenges and User Recommendations
P.J. Jakovljevic 10/1/2002 12:00:00 AM
In addition to putting the problems of blending two former independent organizations together behind, the company is still entangled in figuring out how best to bring different technologies and industrial experiences to bear. Further, the new company is left with multiple products whose brand recognition is quite low given recent re-branding effort that may be even more impeded by SoftBrands/Fourth Shift/evolution brand confusion (not to mention the plethora of hospitality products).

P.J. Jakovljevic 9/30/2002 12:00:00 AM
With a set of seemingly complementary products and via a strategy of focusing on customers, astute acquisitions of more complementary software companies and a careful deployment of all resources around the world including product development, sales and customer support, SoftBrands hopes to rise from the ashes of its ill-fated predecessor, AremisSoft.
