Examples Of How Some Mid-Market Vendors Might Remain Within The Future Three (Dozen)? Part Three: Made2Manage Market Impact and User Recommendations (4 Pages)
by P.J. Jakovljevic
Jul 18, 2003 Abstract : Smaller manufacturing enterprises are often more comfortable dealing with a vendor of a size and corporate culture similar to theirs. Examples of these markets can be e.g., fresh meats, dairy producers, Tier 2/3 automotive suppliers, etc. Some of these thriving Boutique Vendors will actually be conglomerates of smaller divisions or vendors with a common owner. These might even be a current mid-range vendor who specializes in a series of smaller markets or even a sub-segment of a Big Five vendor

by P.J. Jakovljevic
Jul 16, 2003 Abstract : While the ongoing consolidation frenzy is by no means the end of smaller vendors, the number of survivors will certainly be only a few dozen. Amid these ongoing seismic consolidation tremors, smaller application vendors are left with few choices: going private under a wealthy financial backer’s wing that is also committed to invest in the acquired technology, or snatching some prominent mid-market players within its market segment.

Can ERP Speak PLM? Part Two: Examples and Recommendations (5 Pages)
by Jim Brown
Aug 2, 2003 Abstract : Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solutions have to work with many other systems, not just ERP, so integration is not a new issue for PLM vendors. Most PLM vendors recognize the need for integration and have addressed the need in their toolkits. The additional work comes from integrating the concepts and semantics of one system to the next, if this business level integration has not already been provided between the two systems. This can be a big challenge for best of breed vendors, who may need to rely on systems integrators for much of this conceptual and semantic integration.

Service Productization by Epicor
Abstract : Professional services clients seek solutions to problems, and the very nature of intangible services makes them difficult to comprehend-they cannot be touched, tasted, or seen. Consequently, clients often seek various forms of assurance that their problems can in fact be solved by the prospective supplier of professional services. They seek to understand client references, examples of work completed, industry expertise of individual service delivery personnel, and various other "features" of the proposed solution.
