A Case Study and Tutorial in Using IT Knowledge Based Tools Part 2: A Tutorial ( Pages)
by E. Robins
May 31, 2001
Abstract : This tutorial, part 2 of a two part series on Knowledge Based Selection, demonstrates the selection processes and capabilities of Knowledge Based Selection Methods and Tools. These tools, integrated with business decision making procedures, can arguably reduce selection risk and improve chances for success in IT projects. Given the appalling rate of IT project failures, selection can potentially help reduce risk in some 30% of cases, with an associated estimated cost of about $30B annually to industry according to some sources. In this tutorial, we illustrate a number of the procedures for rapid decision processing through the real-life selection of a PDA device. The process gave confidence to the argument to wait for the solution, while weighing risk against return.

Project-Oriented Versus Generic GL-Oriented ERP/Accounting Systems (4 Pages)
by P.J. Jakovljevic
Dec 22, 2003
Abstract : Project-oriented organizations have many project-specific business and accounting requirements often in compliance with complex industry-specific and regulatory requirements. Generic GL-oriented accounting systems have not been designed with project phases, work breakdowns or detailed time capturing in mind, and thus they can merely report how much has been spent or collected, but not why a certain project is losing or winning money.

by Robert Rudd
Jul 13, 2004
Abstract : A proof of concept (POC) should be completed as part of the selection process when the risk of project failure is comparatively high. Risk can be measured by two key variables. These variables are complexity of requirements and level of expertise of the selection/implementation team. The more complex the system requirements, the greater the benefit obtained from a POC.

Abstract : Since a 'one-size-fits-all' product is still not quite a viable possibility, almost every product can win provided a certain set of requirements. The Catch 22 for both buyers and vendors/VARs is to pinpoint the right opportunity in this ongoing 'dating game'. An RFP/RFI selection process can streamline the initial phase of an ERP selection process while addressing many of the buyer's vital questions.
