Emptoris "Procures" Zeborg's Spend Management Expertise Part Two: Market Impact
P.J. Jakovljevic 11/19/2003 12:00:00 AM
The Emptoris acquisition of Zeborg is both a wise offensive and defensive move since it combines the resources of two companies that should focus on arguably growing e-sourcing/spend management opportunities. The companies have quite complementary product offerings, industries of focus, and excellent customer references.

SCP and SCE Need to Collaborate for Better Fulfillment Part One: How SCP and SCE are Addressing WMS
P.J. Jakovljevic 11/13/2003 12:00:00 AM
Warehouse management and transportation management have emerged as two of a few rare remaining fertile areas where companies still have ample opportunity to redesign and optimize. At the same time, these areas are less time-consuming and more oriented towards return on investment (ROI) in terms of incrementally improved operating costs and fulfillment capabilities.

Be Bold with Benefits but Subtle with Pains
Bob Riefstahl 11/3/2003 12:00:00 AM
While prospects often justify their purchases because you show them how your software solves their pain, they do not appreciate being told how bad they really operate. How can you be bold about your benefits and subtle about the prospects' pain.

Rapid Prototyping Or Simply Over-hyping
Joseph J. Strub 11/1/2003 12:00:00 AM
Having to install an entire suite of software before the strike of Y2K may have made rapid prototyping impractical. However, because we now have the luxury of taking on projects with narrower scopes and a return to popularity of the 'best of breed' solutions, rapid prototyping should be considered as a viable approach for implementation. Accordingly, it is important to understand what can make rapid prototype projects successful, thereby possibly enabling your organization to achieve expected results more quickly.

The Hidden Gems of the Enterprise Application Space Part Two: Sorting and Selecting SRM Software
P.J. Jakovljevic 10/30/2003 12:00:00 AM

P.J. Jakovljevic 10/29/2003 12:00:00 AM
Given ever-shorter product life cycles and companies' ever-increasing reliance on third parties to increase customer satisfaction, the need for some form of supplier relationship management (SRM) category of software should not be questioned.

Evaluating Enterprise Software-Business Process or Feature/Function-Based Approach? All the above, Perhaps? Part Three: Knowledge Bases and User Recommendations
Joseph Strub,Olin Thompson,P.J. Jakovljevic 10/28/2003 12:00:00 AM
RFPs and selection tools typically focus on features and functions. The business process protagonists consider this focus old fashioned. However, users want and need an inventory or check lists of the functions to understand if the business process will work. One always has to start from somewhere, and there is no better place to start researching enterprise software than from its functional and technical capabilities.
