What Makes a Good White Paper Good… (part two) » The TEC Blog
compelling title, the first paragraph makes or breaks audience “ affinity, ” which is Stelzner’s term for the white paper’s ability to identify a problem or a situation with which the reader can identify. Focusing on the reader’s needs, and highlighting the “ pain points ”—the bugbears the reader hasn’t yet had any luck dealing with— makes a white paper more credible than one that only brags about the genius behind the featured product or service. And, it should be clear in the first

What Makes a Good White Paper Good… (Part 4) » The TEC Blog
Ends Well… The first paragraph of the white paper is important, but no less so the conclusion. It should be “ practical and memorable ,” according to both Michael Stelzner and Ed Gandia, a technology copywriter. And for best effect, it should include a call to action: a clear (doesn’t hurt to say it again) statement that compels the reader to do grab that bull by the horns and make a decision. The call to action doesn’t have to be overt (an imperative laden with a school principal’s authority)

The Wizardry of Business Process Management – Part 4 » The TEC Blog
explained in the previous paragraph, Pega frequently sells initial BPM software licenses to target accounts that are focused on a specific purpose or area of operations, rather than selling large enterprise-wide licenses. A primary objective of this strategy is to have its customers quickly realize business value from Pega’s software. Once a customer has realized this initial value, the vendor then works with that customer to identify opportunities for follow-on sales. The sales process for follow-on sa

QAD Continues to Wade Through Red Ink
QAD, one of the leading ERP vendors, announced a number of product and alliance initiatives during its annual user conference in May. However, yet another saga in the tale of their expensive R&D operation was included in the report.
PARAGRAPHIC
: end of the previous paragraph while it has been feeling a notable decline in both license and total revenue. On a more positive side, we believe there are valid reasons to expect a better future for QAD. The first is the company s well-established leading global position in Small-to-Medium Enterprises (SME) and divisions of large global manufacturing companies, where it has a large loyal customer base and a dispersed global network of offices and indirect channels. Second, QAD is very competitive in speed

In this article we will focus on the EPC standard passive tags mandated by the major retailers, DoD, and others, since that is what ONS and EPC-IS were designed to support.

In contrast, software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions can reduce the cost of a BI deployment by providing automation and pre-integration.
