by P.J. Jakovljevic
Jan 31, 2004
Abstract : Today's enterprise applications are required as a matter of course to address more than the processes taking place within the walls of an enterprise.

7. 2%-[Microsoft] Microsoft Convergence 2003 portrayed an Enterprise Solutions crossroad! (4 Pages)
by Kevin Ramesan
May 2, 2003
Abstract : Microsoft Convergence 2003 provided a perfect learning experience to appreciate the overall Microsoft Business solutions and the directions that Microsoft intends to take.

11. 1%-[Microsoft] Microsoft 'The Great' Poised To Conquer Mid-Market, Once and Again Part 2: Challenges and User Recommendations (3 Pages)
by P.J. Jakovljevic
May 15, 2002
Abstract : Microsoft's reticence to comment on any timelines of product integration and operations mergers, to our belief, stems from their genuine inability to foresee it at this stage. Still, although the indications that the business will continue to be as usual are strong, Microsoft may eventually decide to streamline its diverse, likely redundant, product mix, staff, and channel. Once Microsoft figures it out and gets a much clearer picture, it should emerge as a mid-market leader making its competitors scramble to better its value proposition.

by P.J. Jakovljevic
Aug 29, 2003
Abstract : Microsoft's foray into the CRM arena has not been a bed of roses, despite its indisputably large marketing muscle and R&D investment, its strong channel, traditionally attractive pricing policies, and the aura and experience within the market segment.

by P.J. Jakovljevic
Aug 28, 2003
Abstract : The Scala and Microsoft alliance in the CRM arena has merits of mutual benefits, particularly in the short to medium term, but due to vacillating motives of the participants that compete in the other enterprise applications fields, will it last?
