Closing the results gap

The past six months have seen the introduction of some significant tools and platforms that will allow organizations to structure business solutions in new and amazing ways, including Duet Software for Microsoft Office and SAP, Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, and BizTalk Server 2006. The rich features and functionality that they encompass will enable capabilities to be built around the way people and business processes work and flow, not simply the way in which a system defines those activities. It’s with these tools that we will start to close the results gap that exists with current line of business systems and organizational systems such as ERP, CRM and SCM. Organizational systems definitely have their place and will not be going anywhere soon, but their inefficiencies and inflexibility can now be masked with nimble and user centric tools and solutions.

 Over the coming weeks I’ll be covering a number of ways that organizations can leverage these new aspects of the Microsoft platform in bringing their organizational systems closer to their users, so please come back to read more!
