Advanced Planning and Optimization Software: Myths, Facts, and User Perceptions (7 Pages)
by Ashfaque Ahmed
Jul 6, 2004 Abstract : Advanced planning optimization (APO) or advanced planning and scheduling (APS), as it is sometimes called, has been creating a lot of confusion and skepticism, albeit for wrong reasons, because of its many publicized failures, especially in tactical and strategic use. The reasons for past failures included lack of training and complex user interfaces among other things. However there is a renewed interest in APO and many vendors are creating easy-to-use systems along with new awareness. This coupled with its profound success in mission critical tasks will result in more users using APO systems.

Get in the Loop with Closed-Loop Diagnostics and Unlock the Door to Profitable Maintenance by Intentia International
Abstract : US companies spend approximately $300 billion (USD) annually on asset maintenance and operations, with 80 percent going to fixing asset failures. This situation can now be drastically improved with the advent of enterprise asset management (EAM) solutions that incorporate closed-loop diagnostics. This best-of-breed maintenance functionality extends the boundaries of traditional software by providing specialized failure analysis features that are fully integrated with core business processes. This paper examines how EAM solutions can support closed-loop diagnostics to provide a number of significant benefits.

Sarbanes-Oxley and MAS 90, MAS 200 and MAS 500 by C3 Solutions Inc
Abstract : The Public Company Accounting Reform and Investor Protection Act of 2002 (also known as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act 0f 2002) was passed by US lawmakers to reinforce honest and transparent corporate practices in the wake of the various public accounting scandals and corporate failures of the 1990s. The Act, named after US Senator Paul S. Sarbanes and US Congressman Michael G. Oxley, has changed the way public companies do business. Although not specifically covered under the Act, non-public entities are also finding that bankers, investors, and acquisition candidates are now conditioned to expect increased transparency and real-time disclosures, in effect placing a greater accounting and reporting burden on companies that are not legally obligated to comply with this act. As with any far-reaching legislation of this magnitude, there is plenty of hype that has emerged in connection with this law. This document is designed to help companies large and small navigate some of the "hype" that sometimes blurs the line between fact and fiction.
