How to Forecast Low Volume, High Dollar Items
ByPrimary Researcher February 5, 2016May 8, 2022

… are made for delivery that is often not attainable. In both circumstances, salespeople will often lambast those in operations not to meet their declarations.
People often, and erroneously, think that forecasting by the customers is useful and can lead to more accuracy.
In their Supply Chain Planning Magic Quadrant report, Gartner stated that Big Data is going to allow more forecasting by the customer rather than the forecasting by-product, which I will explain in a future article, will not lead to improving forecasts.
The author for Gartner is mistaken. Forecasting by the customer is not great because customers are …

Supply Chain Inventory Turn Benchmarking
ByPrimary Researcher February 4, 2015May 10, 2022

… they are considered good practices and are necessary to run a supply chain system properly. Some companies that are not doing the basics to maintain their system look for benchmarking information when the areas to improve are quite clear already.
This brings up a topic that has been analyzed by Gartner and for which they wrote an excellent article titled Five Steps to Best Practices in Supply Chain Benchmarking: From Number to Action. This article is paid content, so providing the link will not enable anyone to read it without a Gartner subscription, but I have some of the quotations …

What is The Difference Between MRP and MRP II?
ByPrimary Researcher April 23, 2014January 13, 2024

… contains MRP within it and adds sales and distribution, finance and accounting, and non-MRP materials management (things like stock transfer that MRP does not do). ERP systems often have a warehousing module as well.

ERP is rarely enough for all of a company’s needs. I have a book about why entities like Gartner, SAP, Oracle, large consulting companies, and many others proposed this back in the 1980s. This was proven incorrect as companies continued to use their legacy systems and ERP after ERP was implemented, then purchased more applications and connected them to the ERP system.

The Worst SAP Recruiters List

… Associates
Unprofessional-ism
Gartner needs to wake up because they provided GROM with a “Cool Vendor” designation – or at least GROM says they did. GROM is essentially a sausage factory. They hire new recruiters who “blast” roles out to large lists of candidates. They then respond to just a few candidates that provide them with the answers they want – and they leave all of the other emails unanswered. GROM considers this professional – most would consider it inconsiderate and unprofessional. Why respond to an email if there is some probability calculation, which one must perform to determine the likelihood of …

The Brightwork Research & Analysis Rating and Risk for Teradata
ByPrimary Researcher January 20, 2014December 2, 2020

… go with a bigger brand name?
However, this ranking has more to do with how more money IBM and Oracle can afford to pay Gartner than an actual reflection of their these vendors relative BI merits. This is something which is understood, but not acted upon by executive decision makers – Gartner is a “sponsored” media outlet, and they adjust their methodology to place the vendors with the ability to pay the highest. This is explained in detail in the Brightwork Research & Analysis Press book Gartner and the Magic Quadrant: A Guide for Buyers, Vendors, Investors. In truth, neither IBM nor …

The Brightwork Research & Analysis Rating and Risk for QlikTech QlikView
ByPrimary Researcher January 19, 2014December 2, 2020

… and of course, the primary consulting companies are all aligned with the most extended implementing applications as shorter implementation times mean less revenue for them. Interestingly we reviewed the very popular and widely read Gartner Magic Quadrant for Business Intelligence and Analytics Platforms, completely missed out on the fact. However, Gartner never prints all the information available to it, only the data that helps it maximize revenue, and publishing the fact that the most significant financial contributors to them also have the most extended implementation timelines, will not maximize Gartner’s revenues.
Although QlikView is not entirely as self-service …

The Brightwork Research & Analysis Rating and Risk for NetSuite OneWorld
ByPrimary Researcher January 18, 2014December 2, 2020

… so will that reduce software quality and delivery as this usually does? NetSuite’s CRM and eCommerce applications are not competitive offerings, so NetSuite’s growth outside of OneWorld has not been encouraging. Typically, we don’t make a big deal about “vision.” We leave that more esoteric analysis to Gartner. However, NetSuite is one of the few vendors whose vision is a concern to us, because we can’t understand NetSuite’s strategy – it seems built on wishful thinking. The following paragraph will explain why.
NetSuite offers its product primarily through SaaS, which is one reason it can be …

Solution Architecture Package - Oracle Two Tiered ERP Calculator
ByPrimary Researcher January 11, 2014May 8, 2022

Introduction
A two-tiered ERP strategy is where multiple ERP systems are used – most often one tier 1 ERP system is combined with tier 2 and tier 3 ERP systems. The ERP vendors and applications are typically categorized into the following “tiers.” The concept is that different ERP systems are to be used for various “tiers” of the business.
Gartner has the following definition of two-tiered ERP.
“Two-tier ERP is the use of different ERP systems at two different layers of the organization: One system serves as the global backbone, often for administrative ERP processes such as financials …
