Companies looking to implement OMC strategies immediately will not find a single vendor solution.

Analyst 101: One week later

It's heads down time as I've got to figure out how to get my order management research out the door. I'm already getting a ton of inquiries and getting on the phone with briefings. I'm glad some of the vendors remember me from previous positions. Having done the job from the other end, I hope I have the empathy to not drive the AR managers crazy.

This order management research is quite the thing as we move from a functional CRM, ERP, SCM view of the world to a process centric view of the world that includes Order to Cash, Procure to Pay, Hire to Retire, and Campaign to Order. All fun stuff. Stayed tune to see what I publish
