Frameworks, frameworks, everywhere... ITIL, CMM, COBIT, etc., etc., ... and yet none of them satisfy. All have nagging gaps and flaws: - ITIL's weakness with respect to production applications, the primary "service" offered by the modern IT organization

Making An ERP System Your Own
A while back, I was in my corporate office reviewing some of the new functionality that was recently added to our Enterprise 21 ERP software.

The Value Of Solution Based ERP Offerings
A few years ago I performed an onsite ERP software demo for a small manufacturer. It was a good demonstration, the people were nice, and it seemed like a good functional fit. I left feeling positive about the day and positive about the company.

Do You Use Your Own ERP Software?
A recent article prompted me to pause and sit in bewilderment. To my surprise, not all ERP vendors use their own ERP software to run their internal operations. No, I thought, it cannot be true. But it is true. And if you are as shocked as I was, well, join the club of disbelievers.

ERP For IT Brand
As usual, I'm behind in my reading. Helge Scheil posted this opinion piece to CIO magazine in February, specifically referencing the moniker "ERP4IT." While I always appreciate the publicity, want to make a couple clarifications: - Not surprising that no vendor has adopted "ERP4IT," as I own the domain name... I consider it a personal brand & probably so do others.

Early 2008 ERP Happenings
Today I wanted to bring you a little roundup of recent ERP-related articles of interest. So without further ado... The first item is actually a video rather than an article. It comes from Inquirer.net: SAP Philippines managing director Krishnendu Datta talks about the company's performance in 2007 and the evolution of enterprise resource planning solutions...
