Let me begin by stating that this blog is not intended to be used as a technical reference for your validation or argument in the evaluation or assessment of Enterprise solutions. I have avoided the use of products and acronyms whenever possible. This is not because I do not know the products or because I don’t have an opinion about them. It is because I want you to think about what you are doing for Enterprise solutions and why.
A “best-of-breed” enterprise tool can be implemented so poorly that it provides no value at all. A dated but well employed tool may bring spectacular business results. I probably will repeat myself a bit, including using the phrase “Activity does not equate to success.” Enterprise success does not lie in the volume of usage nor the volume of paper generated. Enterprise success is measured in business impact and by the improvements in critical areas that can be attributed to its implementation.
I began working in the end-user computing arena and have worked with nearly every tool, applications servers and database on the market. Behind all these efforts lies a common theme—the need to produce key business information from existing data.
I do not pass judgment on any specific solution or vendor. I do, however, believe that too many organizations take the easy way out by selecting some tools, hoping the end users will “magically” emerge with what they want. Meanwhile, the rest of the “important” work in data processing goes on…and on…and on. If an organization decides to provide some data and analytics tools to end users to get them off the Information Technology (IT) Department’s back, it will fail and the organization will end up spending much more in the long run because ultimately they’ll have to attempt to get it right.
Please take a moment to write down your definition of Enterprise problems, issues & 'would be' solutions. refer to your current definition in the box and see if you have changed your mind.
