Stand Up, Sit Down...Don't Fight,Fight,Fight ( Pages)
by Ross Jacobsen
Sep 3, 2002
Abstract : Can you relate to the following software demo situation? Jennifer, the sales engineer, is at the keyboard. She’s on a roll. She’s been setting the stage to show how her price matrix capability will eliminate costly errors. This is all-important to the prospect. She has the audience’s full attention and is steadily moving them toward her objective. Suddenly Robert, the account executive, interrupts from the back of the room. “Jennifer, I think this would be a great time to show how the information you’re working with updates the data warehouse and is immediately available for sales analysis purposes.” Everybody shifts their attention from Jennifer and the all-important price matrix capability to Robert and the equally important data warehouse function. In an instant, the momentum Jennifer has been building dies.

Encompix--Thriving on Encompassing Complexity Part One: Event Summary ( Pages)
by P.J. Jakovljevic
May 24, 2004
Abstract : If Encompix has for any reason deliberately maintained its ETO-oriented (engineer-to-order) enterprise resource planning system as one of the best-kept secrets in the complex manufacturing mid-market, it has certainly succeeded so far. However, given a certain number of viable solutions from more renowned and visible (even if not that focused) vendors, the company will have to spread the word much more aggressively from now on.

by Bill McBeath
Nov 2, 2004
Abstract : When the product alone was the primary basis of competition, the life of a design engineer was a lot simpler. No more.
