by P.J. Jakovljevic
Jul 14, 2003

CA Unloads interBiz Collection Into SSA GT's Sanctuary Part 3: Challenges and User Recommendations ( Pages)
by P.J. Jakovljevic
May 1, 2002
Abstract : The varied product portfolio now under the SSA GT banner will take serious pondering and soul-searching and may likely act as a distraction from SSA GT's primary BPCS product strategy. While SSA GT's gallant attempt to regain credibility in the industry is noteworthy, it still has much more catching-up to do, with the market keeping a close eye on its execution.

by P.J. Jakovljevic
Jan 3, 2002
Abstract : With a flurry of alliance making activities, SSA GT is executing a strategy to save the company from oblivion by extending the value proposition to existing customer base.

There are significant differences however between SSA GT's and other vendors (for example, Baan's or Ross Systems') comeback approaches.

SSA GT to EXE-cute (Yet) Another Acquisition Part Three: Impact on SSA GT ( Pages)
by P.J. Jakovljevic
Sep 29, 2003
Abstract : Even in the cases where the company has been showing close attention to its customers' wish lists, its crucial tenet of operation is profitability and setting realistic goals. The return on investment (ROI) justification works for the vendor, particularly when its CEO has a strong accounting background. It does not appear very realistic to expect the equitably due attention to over a dozen products, though, as only the enhancements that will result in marketing value to SSA GT will pass.

Sep 27, 2003
Abstract : Like the previous few SSA GT acquisitions, this merger too seems aimed at enlarging SSA GT's customer base, market share, and more importantly, its predictably recurring support revenue and consequently larger R&D pool.

Baan And SSA GT Merge To Form A Mid-Market Empire With An ''Iron Side'' ( Pages)
by P.J. Jakovljevic
Jul 11, 2003
Abstract : Should Baan and Ironside learn from their new senior sibling SSA GT how to consistently produce stellar financial results and profitability while proceeding with the launch of the next-generation product releases and integration platforms that could in turn cater for SSA GT's aged products' technology rejuvenation needs, the market could witness the creation of another enterprise application powerhouse that is focused solely on manufacturing.

Is SSA GT Betting Infini(um)tely On Acquisitions? Part Three: Complementary Products ( Pages)
by P.J. Jakovljevic
Dec 13, 2002
Abstract : At a first glance, one can even notice that the complementary nature of some SSA GT products and Infinium products may indeed provide a ‘kick for a buck’ proposition. Further, it appears that SSA GT understands and listens closely (via Global Guide Groups) to the needs of conservative ERP customers that are unwilling to ditch a good functional product even at a cost of its technological antiquity. Further, it has a track record of strong functional development that preserves the customer’s current investment.
