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

Supplier Parks - Back to the Future
Bill McBeath 12/9/2003 12:00:00 AM
As supply chains become increasingly integrated and synchronized, we are witnessing the evolution of the business/production models (in some industries) that merge virtual integration with elements of the older vertically integrated enterprise. This has profound consequences, in particular for suppliers to OEMs.

Ann Grackin 12/9/2003 12:00:00 AM
This new book, Double-Digit Growth was one of the most useful and optimistic books to come along in some time. Growth is the whole point of business. Yet many so-called leaders don't seem to have plans to fulfill their purpose. This should be read by all business execs-no matter what your sector.

Financial Reporting, Planning, and Budgeting As Necessary Pieces of EPM Part Two: Challenges and User Recommendations
P.J. Jakovljevic 11/22/2003 12:00:00 AM
Although CPM (aka EPM) starts with strong financial management, it will eventually extend beyond financial planning to almost all areas of corporate activity. Therefore, organizations choosing BI suites should consider both their financial management tools and future integration with key business-area solutions (for example, PLM, CRM, and SCM).

Emptoris "Procures" Zeborg's Spend Management Expertise Part Three: Challenges and User Recommendations
P.J. Jakovljevic 11/20/2003 12:00:00 AM
The combined company's possibly biggest challenge remains a lack of awareness of the need for sourcing/spend management. While many people have realized the power of e-commerce on the consumer side, there is still plenty of education to be conducted by all the SRM vendors to prove how much leverage their applications can bring to corporate buyers.

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.
