Deltek Costpoint vs. Microsoft Dynamics AX vs. Oracle E-Business Suite
by Dylan Persaud
We looked at eight standard ERP modules. To eliminate any chance of bias, and to ensure a level playing field, all 3,600 criteria that make up the modules and submodules in our ERP Evaluation Center were given equal weight and priority. In other words, no area of functionality was treated as being more important than any other. Are Sales Incentives Even In Tune With the Corporate Strategy?
by P.J. Jakovljevic
With sales being the lifeblood of virtually any company, selling should be an accurately accountable process forming the basis of overall strategic objectives. Still, the question remains: how much enterprise incentive management (EIM) do enterprises need, and in what form? Microsoft .NET-managed Code Enablement: Examples and Challenges
by P.J. Jakovljevic
Intuitive, Visibility, and Epicor offer .NET Framework-managed code products, but their "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" mindset might work against them unless they can prove higher value propositions, such as new, more quickly developed vertical functionality. Microsoft .NET Enablement: Analysis and Cautions
by P.J. Jakovljevic
Using technologies that are intrinsically compatible should result in faster and less costly development. Thus, any application suite rewritten in the Microsoft .NET managed code framework should not have to contend with inefficiencies resulting from mixing or wrapping technologies. Examples of Microsoft .NET Enablement
by P.J. Jakovljevic
SYSPRO and Epicor are examples of .NET-enabled legacy software systems that have partly been componentized (rewritten), with "wrappers" added to the rest so that the legacy functionality can be used and extended through Web services on the .NET Framework. Subtle (or Not-so-subtle) Nuances of Microsoft .NET Enablement
by P.J. Jakovljevic
The Microsoft .NET strategy continues to confuse many, due to the lack of understanding of the technology. Indeed, because of the massive marketing campaign undertaken by Microsoft, many vendors have adopted a "too liberal" approach to marketing .NET Framework-based initiatives. Microsoft Retail Systems
