by P.J. Jakovljevic

RFID Case Study: Gillette and Provia Part Two: Challenges and Lessons Learned ( Pages)
by P.J. Jakovljevic
Aug 4, 2004 Abstract : Compliance with the market RFID mandate has unfortunately preceded the achievements of applied physics and computer science. One of the main obstacles is the lack of integration, since there is a dearth of software tools from enterprise application integration vendors to get data from RFID tags and readers into existing business systems, meaning that companies are often forced to do expensive custom integration work.

Are ASP Applications Right for You? Part 1: Decision Factors ( Pages)
by Miles Szczurek
Aug 22, 2001 Abstract : Like so many Internet conventions, the Application Service Provider (ASP), is really a combination of two 'old' concepts, turn key applications and outsourced services. Many of the lessons learned from these areas are directly applicable to ASP provided applications, and many of the same questions need to be asked and answered before a determination can be made on whether an ASP application should be considered.

Selecting PLM Software Solutions ( Pages)
by Jim Brown & P.J. Jakovljevic
May 22, 2003 Abstract : Past experience shows us that the vast majority of enterprise technology evaluations run over time and budget, and once selected, the majority of the implementations fail to meet functional, return on investment (ROI) and total cost of ownership (TCO) expectations. Enterprise technology selections for ERP, CRM, SCM, and other enterprise applications provide valuable lessons that can be applied to selecting PLM software, but there are some key differences that need to be recognized.

by R. Lynch
Apr 25, 2000 Abstract : Analog Devices was the first company to implement a balanced scorecard company-wide on an Executive Information System. In fact, it has been running for 13 years. One of the major lessons that Analog learned was to trust the lead and lag relationship between non-financial and financial measures. This note was based in part from an interview with Art Schneiderman, pioneer of the balanced scorecard concepts at Analog Devices and Bob Stasey, VP of Quality at Analog Devices.

If There's One Thing CRM Tells Us: Don't Do PLM the Same Way (5 Pages)
by David Smith
Jun 21, 2004 Abstract : Product lifecycle management (PLM) doesn't work, but it should. Fundamentally, the idea that we can design better products and bring them to market more quickly by leveraging the knowledge and experience in our own value chain and our customers and suppliers, is a sound one. It's just that buying PLM doesn't always allow that leverage. Industry's general approach and attitude to PLM very much mimics the early days of the customer relationship management (CRM) adoption, and there are lessons abound from that experience that should help when tackling the 'ifs' and 'hows' of PLM investment.
