GXS Acquires HAHT Commerce for More Synchronized Retail B2B Data Part One: Event Summary
P.J. Jakovljevic 3/9/2004 12:00:00 AM
GXS, a business to business e-commerce pioneer, announced its acquisition of channel management specialist HAHT Commerce.

Data Quality: Cost or Profit?
Kevin Ramesan 3/8/2004 12:00:00 AM
Data quality has direct consequences on a company's bottom-line and its customer relationship management (CRM) strategy. Looking beyond general approaches and company policies that set expectations and establish data management procedures, we will explore applications and tools that help reduce the negative impact of poor data quality. Some CRM application providers like Interface Software have definitely taken data quality seriously and are contributing to solving some data quality issues.

What Does the Future Hold for PRM?
P.J. Jakovljevic 3/6/2004 12:00:00 AM
Almost every company has been scrutinizing their relationships with partners more closely and figuring out how best to reach and nurture them. With so much business going through indirect sales channels in the next five years, the need for some form of partner relationship management (PRM) should not be questioned. The natural question is then why only a few software vendors specializing in PRM have thrived?

EDI versus. XML--Working in Tandem Rather Than Competing?
P.J. Jakovljevic 3/5/2004 12:00:00 AM
Electronic data interchange (EDI), extensible markup language (XML) , and any other format are merely "semantics" and input streams for expressing data, and whether a transaction is transmitted in EDI format or XML is largely secondary to the fact that electronic document and data exchange is growing rapidly.

Predictive Demand Supply
Lonnie Childs 12/23/2004 12:00:00 AM
If you're in the supply chain business, right up there with Newton's law of gravity stands Murphy's other law stipulating that demand and supply, if left to their own tendencies, will always tend to diverge and get you in trouble. Welcome to the world of predictive demand and supply planning whose mission is to predict imbalances as far in advance as possible, in order to provide ample time and opportunity to design and implement corrective sales and operations solutions. So how do we design a system for identifying potential issues and expressing them via a commonly understood key process indicator (KPI) where the cause and effect of our actions can be readily measured? Read this article by the former director of Dell's operations and demand management.

The Changing Face of the Holiday Season
Carla Reed 12/23/2004 12:00:00 AM
It seems that Santa will need to relocate to China! When traveling abroad (with the exception of low wage countries) it is becoming increasingly difficult to find items actually locally made in the region you are visiting. What are the implications of this for brands, companies, and consumers?

N-Tier Demand Management
Bill McBeath 12/23/2004 12:00:00 AM
The classic bull-whip effect means that the further a supplier is removed from the end consumer, the worse are the fluctuations in demand that they see. This has led many to recommend an n-tier approach to demand management, where everyone gets visibility to the end-customer demand at the same time. In practice, very few companies have been able to actually realize this vision. There are some practical approaches that a few leading suppliers deep in the supply chain are have taken to successfully mitigate the bull-whip effect.
