Vendor's View - Customer Relationship Management: Putting Customers at the Centre of the Business
This paper addresses how CRM technology has evolved, the current challenges in merging existing enterprise-wide processes, and the necessary requirements for making CRM an integral success throughout the entire organization, leading to better customer communication and retention.
Analyst's View - Body shop to mind shop
Most organisations have had to supplement their IT capability with some form of external help at one time or another. However, as financial pressures mount and technology continues to evolve and its relationship with the business becomes increasingly complex, how does this change the expectations and needs of those external relationships?
Analyst's View - Ora-Sun: The Glass is Half Full…
This acquisition is attractive to both Oracle and Sun for different reasons, although it may not be so attractive to end user organizations. Let’s look at who gains through this acquisition, to see who the winners and losers might be.
Analyst's View - Light touch, firm impression
Switch from paper systems to IT but keep to the business process script. Mobile technologies have become cheaper to buy and have greater performance, functionality and capacity than ever before. This can encourage over-complicated products to be used for mobile applications. These will have higher direct costs in maintenance, support or training, and higher indirect costs from the unnecessary complexity of the user experience. This is especially noticeable in the automation of simple, traditionally paper-based, processes. Done well, the use of appropriate mobile technology can pay dividends, but beware the pitfalls.
Analyst's View - Enterprise Performance Management
Measuring how well an organisation is performing is a basic need, requiring full visibility of various processes and workflows including the needs and inputs of partners and other stakeholders, as well as an effective means of monitoring and measuring how these variables work to produce an end result. The research behind this report shows that most organisations still have much to do, with disconnects between key steps and a lack of inclusion of essential stakeholders across processes. A comparative index across 8 geographies.
Vendor's View - The Professional Services Maturity Model 2009
A framework for assessing and improving all elements of a professional service organization
Vendor's View - Making ERP Deliver On Its Promise to the Enterprise
This White Paper: - Provides an essential understanding of how traditional ERP implementations have set the groundwork within organizations to start capturing all information onto one true “enterprise” system; - Outlines a clear vision of how the next generation of ERP systems will include the bulk of the functionality that traditionally has been found outside of the ERP system; - Highlights the benefits that can be associated with such an ERP system, and the efficiencies that can be realized across an organization.
Vendor's view - 3 Things Business Decision-Makers Need To Know About SOA
Get beyond a buzzword level understanding of what SOA is and what it is not
Academic's article - Introduction to ‘Practical Guide to Selecting an ERP System, for small and medium-sized manufacturers'
.... a ‘how to do things’ (rather than simply ‘what to do’) practical workbook by Ivy Lin and Derek Ford, Institute for Manufacturing, University of Cambridge.
Analyst's view - A short guide to a faster WAN - Wide Area Network Security and Acceleration
A high performance WAN is a key part of the foundation on which today’s businesses are built. It enables flexible working, which increasingly carries an environmental message, underpins sound business processes and enables effective communications within organisations and with customers, partners and suppliers.
Vendor's view - Solutions for the Agile Enterprise
Do your IT systems stop your business from being as agile as you would like? Richard Cork, Construction Consultant at IFS, looks at ways conventional IT systems can stifle change and restrict business growth.
Vendor's view - The Business Benefits of Software-as-a-Service: Making the Most of the On-Demand Advantage

Vendor's view - Best Practices in Transportation Management: Performance Made Calm – Taming the Global Supply Chain Profitably
A QAD Leadership White Paper for the Global Manufacturing Industry
Vendor's view - Smashing the Glass Ceiling
How SMEs can level the playing field with larger competitors...
Analyst's view - SOA, Something or Anything
Just how aware are businesses of Service Oriented Architectures, and how much benefit do people see from being able to have such an environment?
Consultant's view - Making IT Really Happen
Business leaders are often unable to do what they believe best for their enterprises; they make massive investments in new systems, or outsource huge parts of their business in the hope that they will then be able to achieve what they want — but all too often to no avail.
Consultant's view - A Strategic Plan — The Holy Grail of Information Management?
The competitive value of having a good plan are clear for all to see — an enterprise is able to meet its customers’ changing needs without hitting unnecessary obstacles. Indeed, the risks of not having a good plan can be terminal.
Consultant's view - ERP Systems - What's in a Name?
This short review considers the current status of ERP systems in terms of the software functionality that they offer and the impact that they have on the businesses in which they are used. It concludes that the acronym ‘ERP’ is a very broad generic term. Most software vendors offer products that have a very broad-ranging functionality, but their customers find them difficult to implement and use effectively in their own business environment.
Analyst's view - Is that a (RFID) Tag or a Virus?
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags are becoming increasingly important in a wide range of industries and commercial situations for use in asset management, inventory control, automated payments, etc. A report released recently postulated that it would be relatively easy to configure RFID tags to infect corporate systems with viruses, and that this raises all kinds of concerns about the security and safety of these devices.
Analyst's view - Sybase’s 365 Play
Mobile 365 may not be well known by the public, as it is a behind-the-scenes infrastructure company that works with carriers to offer SMS text messaging services, providing customers with the ability to send cross-network messages (e.g., Cingular to Verizon) at the rate of 3 billion per month and across 700 carriers worldwide. Mobile 365 also offers companies mobile device content delivery services (e.g., contests, alerts of events, marketing messages, financial alerts, transactions), a growing and lucrative area of the marketplace.
Analyst's view - Mobile Security - Is SW Enough?
Security on mobile devices (notebooks, smart phones, PDAs, specialty devices) continues to be a major challenge as companies struggle with increased levels of attacks and as mobile devices become the preferred platform for enterprise users.
Analyst's view - The Death of Carrier Supplied (and Subsidized) Devices?
North America is currently dominated by cell pones which are acquired by users from their carriers (e.g., AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile, Rogers) at a highly subsidized price (e.g., as little as $0 with a 2 year service commitment).
Analyst's view - Cisco and Apple: a Win-Win?
Cisco and Apple recently settled there iPhone dispute. Before the dust has even settled, many commentators are saying that Apple won, and Cisco lost, primarily because their settlement was centered around a vague promise that the 2 companies would work together in the future on security as well as consumer and enterprise communications products.
Analyst's view - Dell Takes on Wireless?
In a bid to resurrect its success of the past, Dell, which has been slipping of late, especially to competitor HP, is reorganizing and making changes in its executive ranks.
Consultant's view - Gaining Business Benefit from Implementing PSA - How technology can help
Tony Korn explains what service organisations or units should do to gain maximum business benefit from investing in Professional Services Automation - PSA
Analyst's view - Its the End of the (SW) World as We Know it or not
Why would anyone want to buy and install expensive SW when you can rent functionality for a small price per month, and get enabled within a few hours ?
