Remapping the Supply Chain Universe, by Ann Grackin and Sree Hameed
Ann Grackin,Sree Hameed 5/20/2005 12:00:00 AM
Supply chain management is a truly dynamic field. Over the last few years the fundamental structure of the chains has changed to the point where many of the working assumptions have to be reevaluated. ChainLink Research’s new 3D approach provides a useful framework for evaluating supply chain solutions.

Governance of Federated Business Models
Bill McBeath 5/20/2005 12:00:00 AM
During the last twenty years, businesses migrated from vertical integration to a virtual model, outsourcing all their non-core functions. This has created challenges in aligning the strategies and activities of all these functions dispersed across the supply chain, each in separate legal entities. The next phase of evolution to emerge is the "dynamic federation", or federated supply chain which is governed differently than both vertical and virtual businesses.

Measuring the Supply Chain Outside Your Enterprise
Sree Hameed 5/20/2005 12:00:00 AM
Since supply chains, by definition, are about the end-to-end inter-enterprise process, we highlight the growing importance of looking outside your four walls when thinking about supply chain performance management. If you are overwhelmed by the number of supply chain measures you are tracking, it’s better to focus your energies on a few that can have a significant impact.

ERP: Origins, Developments, and Trends
TEC staff writer 5/17/2005 12:00:00 AM
ERP first developed as a form of inventory control and later grew to link disparate bodies of information together from across the enterprise. Now, ERP enhancements include SCM, CRM, and e-commerce features, just to name a few. However, where is this technology going? What does it mean now?

The Future of SOA-based Applications and Infrastructure
Olin Thompson,P.J. Jakovljevic 5/7/2005 12:00:00 AM
The ultimate winner in the SOA market will have to provide industry-specific solutions solving essential problems that others cannot. Focus must move away from technology lock-in and vendor dependency, to best solutions for customers, even if it means customers can use competitor products.

SOA as a Foundation for Applications and Infrastructure
Olin Thompson,P.J. Jakovljevic 5/6/2005 12:00:00 AM
SOA promises interoperability in the heterogeneous business world by promoting loosely-coupled architecture, reusing software, and ending vendor-dependency. However, to be viable, dominant vendors must redesign and expose the hundreds of application functions as services. How are they meeting this challenge?

SOA-based Applications and Infrastructure--The Next Frontier?
Olin Thompson,P.J. Jakovljevic 5/5/2005 12:00:00 AM
Leading enterprise applications vendors believe it is crucial to quickly complete the transition to a service oriented architecture (SOA) from monolithic client/server architectures. For the "Big Few" the "stack" race, including applications, databases, application server and middleware, has intensified.

Merging Disparate IT Systems and Exploiting Multichannels
P.J. Jakovljevic 4/20/2005 12:00:00 AM
Astute IT strategies should help any company develop a strong competitive advantage whether it be improved time-to-market, better insights about customers behavior and preferences, or to devise a more efficient supply chain. This should be embraced by Sears Holding and Federation/May.

Challenging the Competition: Mega-mergers and Supply Chain Technology
P.J. Jakovljevic 4/19/2005 12:00:00 AM
In theory, the Kmart-Sears merger could produce a new layer of competition to mega-retailers such as Wal-Mart. However, it needs more than just size to be competitive. It needs to coordinate its retail strategy with supply chain technology to make it triumph.
