by P.J. Jakovljevic
Jul 14, 2003
Abstract : Like the previous few SSA GT's acquisitions, this merger too seems aimed at enlarging combined Baan and SSA GT's customer base, market share, and, more importantly, its predictably recurring support revenue and consequently larger R&D pool.

by P.J. Jakovljevic & P. Catz
May 7, 2001
Abstract : In order to return from oblivion SSA continues with more decisive moves to put itself back on the global enterprise applications map. Renaming itself as SSA Global Technologies (SSA GT) was one of the moves. It has recently acquired MAX International, a move to expand its offerings into the small and medium enterprise market. Will the market witness another Baan-like resurrection of a fallen ERP vendor?

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.

SSA: Evolving into systems integrator to survive ( Pages)
by P.J. Jakovljevic
Oct 1, 1999
Abstract : SSA's Portfolio strategy is to surround its core ERP products with best-of-breed 3rd party enterprise applications and provide system integration services and support around it. SSA will gradually transform itself into a systems integration provider, as opposed to a pure ERP vendor, within the next 3 years. By that time, we believe service & support revenue will contribute up to 80% of SSA's total revenues.

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.

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.

SSA GT to EXE-cute (Yet) Another Acquisition Part Two: EXE ( Pages)
by P.J. Jakovljevic
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. Both companies have notable customer bases with a wide geographic spread (particularly in emerging markets that have been much less affected by the recession).

SSA Global Forms a Strategic Unit with an Extended-ERP Savvy Part One: Event Summary ( Pages)
by P.J. Jakovljevic
Sep 15, 2004
Abstract : SSA Global seems to be doing some proper thinking while continuing to acquire new software companies. Recent unification of its broadening collection of supply chain management (SCM) solutions under the SSA SCM brand and formation of a specialized Strategic Solutions division--which also includes other extended enterprise capabilities, such as customer relationship management (CRM), product lifecycle management ([PLM), and more—are both aimed at nurturing existing customers while attracting new prospects with products that exceed far beyond mere enterprise resource planning (ERP) capabilities.
