Evaluating Enterprise Software - Business Process or Feature/Function-Based Approach? All the above, Perhaps? Part Two
Joseph Strub,Olin Thompson,P.J. Jakovljevic 10/27/2003 12:00:00 AM
There is certainly room to ask the fundamental question of whether the traditional practice of RFI/RFP-based selection processes has been adequate for the task of selecting complex systems. The record indicates there is much room for improvement. In essence, for complex selections like in the case of enterprise applications, the human-machine combination has to work together to drive the solution.

Evaluating Enterprise Software - Business Process or Feature/Function-Based Approach? All the above, Perhaps?
Joseph Strub,Olin Thompson,P.J. Jakovljevic 10/25/2003 12:00:00 AM
Owing to learning from the past experiences and to the help of specialized selection service providers, selecting an enterprise package has to a degree, become a routine occurrence in the life of an IT organization. Recently however, there has been much noise created by some pundits and vendors belittling the supposedly "archaic" way of selecting software through functions and features. Contrary to that, they would rather sell "business processes" or "solutions," further confusing the already overwhelmed customer. The nagging doubts and questions like "Have we been selecting software the wrong way all this time?!" naturally abound.

Has Consolidation Made the PLM Market More Agile? Part Three: Challenges and User Recommendations
Jim Brown,P.J. Jakovljevic 10/24/2003 12:00:00 AM
Even if Agile continues to deliver superior products, its competition against single-vendor, pre-integrated ERP suite products will force Agile to aggressively differentiate the depth of their PLM expertise and further drive industry specialization.

Has Consolidation Made the PLM Market More Agile? Part Two: Market Impact
Jim Brown,P.J. Jakovljevic 10/23/2003 12:00:00 AM
The advent and growth of vendors targeting the needs of discrete manufacturing industries proves that the PLM market in this sector has been hot. Agile Software has made a name for itself by providing the tools that support the collaborative exchange of product data, appealing to companies that rely on contractors for the manufacture of its products. For companies whose BOMs change frequently, this integrated capability set has been extremely important, and Agile has thrived in the PLM selection situations requiring extensive external collaboration.

Has Consolidation Made the PLM Market More Agile?
Jim Brown,P.J. Jakovljevic 10/22/2003 12:00:00 AM
While the race for the pole position in the still evolving, moving-target PLM market started several years ago, it has been quite accelerated by Agile Software's fourth acquisition in 2003. Particularly with the most recent Agile-Eigner announcement, the two players have apparently decided to leapfrog many direct competitors by joining complementary forces.

Audit Considerations for Enterprise Software Implementations Part 2: Applying Controls and Audit Emphasis
Joseph J. Strub 10/21/2003 12:00:00 AM
Whether audit expertise is provided by an internal staff or an independent, outside agency, calling in an audit specialist is as normal as calling in a kicking specialist in a penalty or field goal situation in football. Particularly when you consider the majority of an enterprise software implementation is all about testing, the present of an auditor as a functioning member of the project team makes perfect and logical sense.

Audit Considerations for Enterprise Software Implementations Part 1: Project Planning and Management
Joseph J. Strub 10/20/2003 12:00:00 AM
Thanks, in part, to the fallout from the financial scandals of Enron, WorldCom, Tyco and others, the corporate spotlight is being refocused on the audit function. However, by waiting until systems are live and in production before applying an audit regimen, you may miss an excellent opportunity to establish effective controls at the outset, when the enterprise software is being implemented. Read on to learn where and how, as an executive sponsor, project manager, or team member, you can instill audit procedures that can continue throughout the life of the software.

The Different Evolutionary Stages of ERP and PLM
Jim Brown,Predrag Jakovljevic 10/9/2003 12:00:00 AM
The product development life cycle - innovate, conceptualize, plan, design, procure, produce, deliver, service, and retire - naturally includes multiple people, operating in multiple departments, and typically from multiple companies, each with locations in multiple countries around the world. Solving inherent difficulties that result from managing this complexity are the raison d’être for PLM solutions.

Dr. Scott Hamilton 10/8/2003 12:00:00 AM
