Chemical Industry ERP Showdown:
Infor vs. JD Edwards vs. Lawson vs. SAP vs. SSI
by Larry Blitz
Today’s Showdown is based on an industry-specific case study. Five enterprise resource planning vendors were selected for the evaluation. All the results were based on the latest request for information (RFI) supplied to us by the vendors, and all priorities were assigned by the client. ERP Showdown—Round 2!
Exact Macola ES vs. Infor SyteLine vs. QAD MFG/PRO
by Dylan Persaud
I'm Dylan Persaud, senior analyst at Technology Evaluation Centers. Due to the overwhelming response to our first ERP Showdown, we're pleased to present another head-to-head discrete enterprise resource planning (ERP) comparison. Here, then, is ERP Showdown, Round 2!—featuring Exact Macola ES vs. Infor SyteLine vs. QAD MFG/PRO. An Unusual Human Capital Management Suspect
by P.J. Jakovljevic
With Infor Human Capital Management (HCM) 3.0, Infor has combined transactional and strategic human resources functionality with planned integration to its flagship enterprise resource planning and extensions solutions, so that customers can better align HCM initiatives with overall business strategy. Is MAPICS Getting the Magic of PLM?
Part Three: Challenges and User Recommendations
by P.J. Jakovljevic and Jim Brown
MAPICS hereby joins the raft of enterprise resource planning (ERP) vendors that are making their way into the product lifecycle management (PLM) market by bundling or partnering strategically to embed PLM functions within their suites. Is MAPICS Getting the Magic of PLM?
Part Two: Strategy
by P.J. Jakovljevic and Jim Brown
During our recent briefing, MAPICS' executives acknowledged that almost all enterprise software companies are either "hunting" or being "hunted". Is MAPICS Getting the Magic of PLM?
Part One: Recent Events and Market Impact
by P.J. Jakovljevic and Jim Brown
The former die-hard IBM AS/400-based enterprise resource planning (ERP) supplier to mid-market manufacturing companies, MAPICS, seems to have found its soul after the recent acquisition of its former competitor Frontstep and Frontstep's extended-ERP product line on a Microsoft .NET-based technology platform. While another acquisition of an ERP competitor is not very likely, MAPICS seems to have rather opted for lateral acquisitions of strategic extension products, starting with the MAGIK! PLM product. Analyzing MAPICS' Further Steps After Frontstep
Part Five: Challenges and User Recommendations
by P.J. Jakovljevic
MAPICS remains a stable company, with a strong financial position, depth of manufacturing knowledge, a strong customer service record, and a developed affiliate channel, which has also broadened its product offering. Combined respective MAPICS and Frontstep customers and partners should be encouraged by the progress of Frontstep’s assimilation. However, there will ultimately be inevitable rationalization within the maze of likely redundant product sets. Analyzing MAPICS' Further Steps After Frontstep
Part Four: Market Impact Continued
by P.J. Jakovljevic
While competitive costs (low and flexible software license pricing and implementation costs) and outstanding global service (proven fast implementations and customer loyalty) will remain important requirements for success, particularly in the lower end of the market, vertical focus will be the key factor for survival. Analyzing MAPICS' Further Steps After Frontstep
Part Three: Market Impact
by P.J. Jakovljevic
Much has changed, while much has remained the same at MAPICS during 2003. With the February finalization of the Frontstep acquisition, MAPICS has become quite a large enterprise applications provider, which positions the vendor near (if not at) the top among vendors that focus on the mid-size discrete manufacturing market. Analyzing MAPICS' Further Steps After Frontstep
Part Two: More Recent Events
by P.J. Jakovljevic
MAPICS remains a customer-focused organization with the mantra of helping customers in select verticals become world-class manufacturers. Analyzing MAPICS’ Further Steps After Frontstep
by P.J. Jakovljevic
The former staunch IBM AS/400-based ERP supplier to mid-market manufacturing companies, MAPICS, has become quite a larger vendor and with a wider choice of products due to the recent acquisition of Frontstep and its entire product line, which included ERP, CRM, and SCM, on a single Microsoft .NET-based technology platform. However, as the customers from both camps have been uncertain of their provider's strategy, given that a bigger size brings about the need to rationalize multiple products within the same marketplace, after a few months long period of buried heads and brainstorming sessions, MAPICS has lately been engaged in explaining its rationale, as to set many customers' minds at ease.
