Technology Strategies Anticipated to Accomplish Business Goals
GE Lighting Division's expectations for SharePoint were not realized, and as a result, the division moved to adopt a globally-based Partner Relationship Management (PRM) system that includes integration to both reseller order capture and distributed order management systems so that all channel partners could place orders and track them through manufacturing to fulfillment. GE Lightings' channel management had found that through discussions with resellers that of all applications designed for the five objectives, having a coordinated order capture and order management system was critical. Second, the objective of managing pricing both in terms of quotes and handling pricing exceptions was accomplished through the development of a Special Pricing Request application. As Columbus (2003) has stated, the automating of special pricing requests is one of the highest ROI activities for a channel organization to pursue. Third, the automation of lead generation and escalation in conjunction with the development of quoting and custom product ordering was developed both at the process and software application level. The lead generation application specifically focused on creating a lead escalation roadmap that allowed for any reseller to see the status on a 24/7 basis of all leads, and also see which ones were going to be escalated if no activity was completed in 72 hours from time of receipt. This led to a 30% increase in lead closure rates in the first month, on a global scale. The ability to tie leads to quotes is also a critical workflow for resellers, and to accomplish this goal, GE Lighting implemented a quote-to-order workflow that spanned both lead closure and quoting completion applications, which gave resellers a significant boost in productivity overall. As AMR Research (2003) has stated, the ability of quote-to-order systems to traverse the simplistic to the most complex product configuration requirements and encapsulate them into a quote for commercial customers is critical for long-term competitive...
Management of Technology in Developing Countries Such as Iran Technology management arrangements of developing countries vary from those of first world ones. The requirement for skill in these states is not growing from within, but somewhat cropping up from new wares imported from first world countries. Technological growth in addition does not consequence from inner data and research, but resulting upon the technology transmission from abroad. In these environments, technology management
. The mobile business market has seen significant of uptake of B2E (mobile sales-force and field service) solutions and Microsoft has the chance to develop its offerings around its acquisitions, adding mobile functionality. Microsoft partners with many application vendors across the board and moving too heavily into the application space would incense many. However, there is viability in developing a mid-market mobile application proposition, given the unconsolidated nature of offerings
The vision Oracle has is one of unifying all of their enterprise applications into their Fusion architecture and creating a single unifying Service oriented Architecture (SOA) was first announced in 2006 (Krill, 13). Since that time Oracle has continually strived to create an SOA in Fusion that would appeal to its corporate customers. The proposed Fusion SOA platform has been designed to be robust and scalable enough to encompass enterprise-level
Taken in isolation, some of the new, minimally-invasive procedures are less expensive by far, when analyzed on a procedure-by-procedure basis, than previous significant surgical interventions, as demonstrated below: Procedure Cost Estimated duration of 'cure' CABG 5-7 years PCI (percutaneous coronary intervention 3-5 years Based on the above analysis, it would appear to be clear that a PCI is more cost-effective than CABG procedures. This may not be true when all costs are considered, however. The logic of
Management Technology Principles of Management and Technology Multiculturalism and Diversity "Diversity is desirable for innovation, flexibility, and organizational success." Diversity can be a valuable asset for any organization. Having people from different backgrounds and cultures offers a broader range of different perspectives and different opinions. Having this as an asset can spawn higher levels of innovation and flexibility because of the depth of perspective -- more people with different ideas can collaborate in a
, 2005). The framework centers strengthening the compatibility with existing values and practices to also ensure a high level of simplicity and observable results, two other factors crucial to creating an effective framework (Rogers, 2003). All of these elements must also be unified with a simplistic model to make sure the nurses can see the value of the system and their ability to manage it as a resource, not be
