UK Firms Postpone ERP Implementations
UK Firms Postpone ERP Implementations originally appeared on About.com Logistics / Supply Chain on Wednesday, November 18th, 2009 at 10:09:26.
A study by the National Computing Center (NCC) in the UK has found that over 65 percent of British firms are postponing their ERP implementations, with 24 percent on hold indefinitely and 41 percent reporting a temporary delay. The economic situation has caused companies to reduce their IT budgets and due to the complex nature of ERP implementations, firms did not have the personnel or money to invest in a long-term project.
However, the NCC did find that 29 percent of firms were not reducing investment in their ERP project and in fact some firms are increasing their investment. But on the whole UK firms were wary of such large projects at this time. Data from the NCC found that only 12 percent of firms said their implementation had come in on time, while 6 percent said it had taken less time than planned. Estimating the cost of an ERP implementation seems to be an issue for UK businesses as the NCC found that 53 percent of implementations had gone over budget.

Salesforce.com Profits Rise Again
Salesforce.com Profits Rise Again originally appeared on About.com Logistics / Supply Chain on Tuesday, November 17th, 2009 at 03:46:02.
Salesforce.com, the leading provider of customer relationship management (CRM) using software-as-a-service (SaaS), reported that it's third quarter profit has doubled. The figures show that despite the economic difficulties experienced by most companies, there is still a strong demand for the solutions using SaaS rather than traditional on-site implementations.
For the third quarter that ended on October 31, Salesforce.com reported a profit of $20.7 million, up from $10.1 million from the previous year. The company's revenue grew 20 percent to $330.5 million. The company's revenue grew in every region, including a 16 percent gain in the Americas, which provides about 70 percent of the overall revenue total.

SaaS Grows, ERP Slows
SaaS Grows, ERP Slows originally appeared on About.com Logistics / Supply Chain on Friday, November 13th, 2009 at 10:03:42.
In a new report released by IT consultancy firm Gartner, the highlight is that there is continued growth in software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications with small and medium sized businesses. The report called Market Trends: Software as a Service, Worldwide, 2008-2013, estimates that global software-as-a-service revenue will reach $7.5 billion this year, a 17.7 percent increase from 2008 revenue of $6.4 billion. The report also predicts the SaaS market will grow through 2013 when worldwide SaaS revenue will total more than $14 billion.
Gartner shows that this growth is in areas such as content, communications and collaboration (CCC) and customer relationship management (CRM). Currently CRM and ERP sales make up the bulk of SaaS sales, but CCC, CRM and SaaS-based call center software continue to grow at the expense of ERP solutions, where Gartner reports the sales in 2009 as relatively flat.

November 15th Is America Recycles Day
November 15th Is America Recycles Day originally appeared on About.com Logistics / Supply Chain on Thursday, November 12th, 2009 at 17:15:46.
America Recycles Day is November 15th this year and businesses and individuals can help to make this year the most successful. Recycling is a way that every person and business can help to protect the environment and conserve natural resources. By recycling at home and at work, you can help to reduce carbon emissions associated with extracting natural resources, manufacturing new products and waste disposal.
Businesses can help the environment by recycling to land and buildings. Reusing previously contaminated properties, often called brownfields, can help reinvigorate communities and preserve green space. A 2001 report by George Washington University stated that, "for every acre of contaminated property reused, approximately 4.5 acres of greenspace is preserved."
To encourage the recycling of brownfields, the EPA consults with property owners, state officials, businesses and communities to design practical solutions to property transfers, facility cleanups and redevelopment at cleanup sites. EPA has assisted in the redevelopment of both private and federally-owned sites.

HP Australia Reduces Carbon Emissions in Supply Chain
HP Australia Reduces Carbon Emissions in Supply Chain originally appeared on About.com Logistics / Supply Chain on Wednesday, November 11th, 2009 at 01:48:37.
Hewlett-Packard Australia's Imaging & Printing Group (IPG) has reduced the organization's local carbon emissions for product sourced by sea by 41 percent after revising its supply chain model. After assessing the company's supply chain costs and CO2 footprint a year ago, HP IPG analyzed the CO2 footprint for their product deliveries using sea, rail and truck. The analysis led HP to implement supply chain projects that would land product closer to customers using sea, rather than other modes of transport to move freight to customers.
HP worked with local supply chain partners DHL and Star Track Express to reduce the total CO2 emitted to move freight from the HP Finished Goods Plants to end customers in Australia. Previously all IPG hardware was being delivered nationally from HP's Central Distribution Office in Sydney. In 2009, the HP IPG Australia CO2 emissions from freight delivery were down to 3,776 tonnes per year. HP is working towards a goal to reduce our sea freight CO2 emissions by a further 20 percent by 2013.

Infor Campaign Against "Big ERP"
Infor Campaign Against "Big ERP" originally appeared on About.com Logistics / Supply Chain on Tuesday, November 10th, 2009 at 15:11:58.
Software giant, Infor, has launched an interesting marketing campaign against their competitors, SAP and Oracle. The campaign revolves around an Infor sponsored website called DownWithBigERP.com. The campaign includes a "Declaration of Software Independence" and describes their competitors as "Big ERP". This, of course, is strange coming from the third largest ERP company with 8000 employees and revenues of $2 Billion.
Infor's CEO, Jim Schaper, recently described his company to Apple, Google, and IBM, although public recognition of the company is far from that of those three companies. No doubt Infor is hoping that a viral marketing campaign can lure customers away from SAP and Oracle, but in a time of economic recession, companies may be far from willing to spend time and money on implementing new software. Big ERP's customers may be far more likely to slow plans to upgrade and negotiate lower maintenance fees that change their ERP software.

No Holiday Joy For Freight Companies
No Holiday Joy For Freight Companies originally appeared on About.com Logistics / Supply Chain on Monday, November 9th, 2009 at 13:14:29.
Before the latest economic bust, the freight industry enjoyed a very happy holiday season when retailers stocked their shelves with everything the consumer desired. However, this season there are fewer retailers with less stock to offer consumers with less cash. The freight companies are wondering if this will be a season of joy for them or despair.
Reports from analysts and media outlets do not find any reason for the freight industry to be optimistic. Retail purchases are still slow and many consumers are acting very conservative by leaving their purchases closer to the holiday season. Black Friday usually represents the start of the retailer's happiest season, but with consumers still wary, retailers have slowed down on restocking, which means less freight to carry and no joy for freight companies.

JDA Merges With i2, Again
JDA Merges With i2, Again originally appeared on About.com Logistics / Supply Chain on Friday, November 6th, 2009 at 06:12:18.
JDA has announced that the purchase of i2 is back on after they signed a definitive merger agreement for a value of approximately $396 million. The benefit for JDA is that it will acquire a company with a long history of successful supply chain planning which is required by companies in today's economy. Integrating i2's solutions and expertise will give JDA access to a new customer base for their other business solutions.
Back in December 2008, JDA and i2 halted the merger announced August 2008, when i2 was valued by JDA at approximately $346 million. It was the i2 board that scuppered the deal when the terms were amended by JDA. With JDA already absorbing Manugistics, i2's discrete manufacturing focus completes JDA's appeal across a broad spectrum of industries. The deal is expected to be completed in December.

2009 Supply Chain Excellence Awards
2009 Supply Chain Excellence Awards originally appeared on About.com Logistics / Supply Chain on Thursday, November 5th, 2009 at 09:51:48.
Herman Miller and Rea Magnet Wire were America's award winners in the 2009 Supply Chain Excellence Awards given by Boston Strategies International. The company conducted an in-depth global supply chain benchmark study and awards were given in three categories; Oil, Gas & Petrochemicals, Process Industries, and General Industry. The winners were those who scored highly in their demonstrated supply chain processes and performance on four dimensions: cost leadership, reliability, customer satisfaction and innovation.
Herman Miller won the Supply Chain Synchronization Award in the General Industry category based on its superior order cycle time consistency, supply management and return on capital employed. Rea Magnet Wire Company won the Supply Chain Management Award in the process industries category for its superior performance in product customization, capacity flexibility, customer responsiveness and cost management.

Cadburys Make Their Roses Green
Cadburys Make Their Roses Green originally appeared on About.com Logistics / Supply Chain on Wednesday, November 4th, 2009 at 21:38:10.
For more than 70 years, generations of British families have purchased a round tin of Cadburys' Roses chocolates for the holiday season. But Cadburys has decided to make Roses a nice shade of green. They are about to try a square box made from cardboard that can be easily recycled. Replacing the tins, which were introduced in 1938, will cut packaging by 45 per cent per pack and save more than 200 tons of steel each year.
This holiday season there are many examples of the use of green packaging. But the Committee of Advertising Practice (CAP) recently tightened its code around "green marketing" after it was found that many businesses were exaggerating claims about the environmental credentials of their products. Because of the trend towards green products, many companies have been guilty of the trend now known as greenwash. CAP has reminded companies that claim specific environmental credentials should not be used without credible evidence.
