E-Business and Enterprise Applications
The focus of this practice is on understanding and predicting the evolution of e-business and enterprise applications.
The markets covered in this practice include enterprise resource planning (ERP), adaptive manufacturing, supply chain management (SCM), business intelligence, product life cycle management (PLM), supplier relationship management (SRM), corporate performance management (CPM), human capital management (HCM) and financials. The research also covers strategies of vendors like SAP, Oracle, Microsoft, Peoplesoft, Invensys, and Siebel Systems.
Each of these areas continues to morph, with consolidation, new vendors, and the development of new technologies and architectures. Some markets are more mature than others, and each reacts differently to evolving customer requirements and emerging technologies to provide business value to end users. Monitoring and understanding change is central to this practice.

The value of customer references to marketing and selling IT services and solutions is well known. Unfortunately, most reference programs suffer from poor organization, under-investment, and/or ad hoc writing. The resulting shortcomings: disappointing outcomes resulting in missed opportunities.
Building a successful client reference program involves a multi-step research process. ebs research can help execute these steps using a variety of techniques such as Voice of the Customer, qualitative and quantitative analysis. |
