by P.J. Jakovljevic
Aug 17, 2001 Abstract : SAP announced upbeat results for Q2 2001 and reconfirmed the positive outlook for the rest of the year amid the bloodbath of many of its competitors. However, negative license revenue growth in the US, a likely cascading economic slowdown from the US to other markets, and net profit restatement owing to the investment in money burning Commerce One, may give rise to a careful scrutiny and moderate caution.

Baan Seeking A New Foster Home -- A Déjà vu Or Not Quite? Part Three: Market Impact and User Recommendations ( Pages)
by P.J. Jakovljevic
May 8, 2003 Abstract : Baan's focus on discrete manufacturing has not been a close fit with Invensys' plant automation products that have been geared mostly to process industries. To that end, Invensys has had a nightmarish job of trying to rationalize Baan and its process ERP counterparts, Protean and PRISM, development - strategy abandonment has been a catchphrase of late. Thus, while the savvy buyer will obtain much improved technology and large customer base in need for new products, the overriding problem has been the lingering negative sentiment around the company, as viability of the vendor is of utmost importance in the enterprise applications space.

Remember APS? ( Pages)
by Steve Geary and Shawn Winn
Jan 28, 2005 Abstract : At the end of 2000, i2 Technologies was trading at over $50 (USD) a share. Today, i2 trades at less than $.75 (USD) a share. Given the meltdown that has taken place, should a forward thinking supply chain professional still consider APS projects? Cut through the hype, look past the war stories, and you can find value with APS. But it is complex. In order for a technology implementation to succeed, it needs to be bundled with serious, fundamental work in the area of process, policies, and performance. There is no silver bullet. Rather than viewing the current market turmoil as a negative, the savvy buyer can take advantage of the situation.
