22%-[Enterprise, Resource, Planning, ERP] The Essential Supply Chain (4 Pages)
by Steve McVey
Dec 28, 2002
Abstract : Supply Chain Management (SCM) once viewed as a way to obtain a competitive advantage, is now perceived as a logical and necessary extension of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP). The reasons: First, traditional ERP systems lack the advanced planning tools necessary for companies to respond to an increasingly competitive business environment. Second, advances in computing power and data transmission enable disparate entities to communicate efficiently and at a low cost. Finally, vendors have observed the complementary nature of SCM and ERP and are engaged in consolidation of their product suites.

 TEC was coined "the Rolls-Royce of decision support tools" by ZDNet
 Business decision support, IT consulting, research, technology
vendor, technology market, technology trends, Helping People Make
Technology Decisions: in IT, procurement, RFP, eRFP, RFI, eRFI,
DSS, DSA, and much more. eBestMatch reduces the time and cost associated

Q: How different is the TEC Evaluation Center from
other sites with superimposed vendors' data (features/functions)?
A: The main difference is the fact the TEC Evaluation
Center relating to erp uses a combination of extensive vendor analysis
coupled with the powerful analytical capabilities of
eBestMatch™. Vendor data is third party evaluated and is
fully impartial. The depth of analysis goes far beyond
features and functions; it includes elements such
as Corporate Strategy, Flexibility and Viability.
This gives all vendors an equal playing field. When
this data is entered into our Knowledge Base
and viewed through the eBestMatch™ engine, it becomes
an invaluable tool for analysis -“the Rolls
Royce of Decision Analysis Software”(ZDNet).
TEC's
business is predicated on the fact that every year, in excess of 100 billion dollars are
lost due to IT projects that fail as a result of poor planning and selection. With the
vast majority of these failures and cost overruns, attributed to projects not implemented,
our mission is simple. To provide IT decision makers and advisors with ready and affordable
access to the advanced tools and expertise they require. To this end, we have spent years
developing what has been deemed and aptly described by the industry as "the Rolls Royce of decision support tools". We
deliver concise reports on erp.
