Requirements Definition For Package Implementations ( Pages)
by Joe Strub
Jan 28, 2003
Abstract : How do you go about defining the requirements of large package systems, particularly those with the all-encompassing scope of ERP, EAM, and CRM software, and still satisfy the needs to the project team, the user community, and executive management? It’s a balancing act rivaling the circus performer trying to keep all of the plates spinning at once. While it is difficult to say one aspect of a project plan is more important than another, accurately and completely defining the needs to be fulfilled by the software is critical to the overall success of the implementation and the longevity of software. This article outlines a logical process for defining the requirements and keeping the plates spinning.

Symix Sytems: Shifting SME's Focus to Their Customers ( Pages)
by P.J. Jakovljevic
Sep 1, 1999
Abstract : Symix is regarded as the originator of the extended ERP concept (CSRP), which has proven to be so attractive to mid-market enterprises that two other leading mid-market vendors entered into specific R&D and licensing agreements with Symix to gain access to its SyteAPS. Despite a highly competitive environment, we predict that Symix Systems will reach $250 million in revenues within the next 3 years, based on attractiveness of its product for discrete manufacturing and distribution within Small-to-Medium Enterprises (SME).

by P.J. Jakovljevic
Oct 5, 2000
Abstract : Great Plains has established itself as a global small-to-medium enterprises (SME) market leader.

Commodity Software, Best Practice and Competitive Advantage ( Pages)
by Olin Thompson
Aug 7, 2003
Abstract : Can industry-leading practice be found in a commodity software package? If we accept that application software is a commodity, by definition, the answer is no. If a vendor claims industry-leading practice, then it is available to your competition. If we really want to have practices that lift us above the competition, it cannot be in a standard package. Where in the business do we need to be better than best practice?
