The past decade saw unprecedented investment in information technology and new market development, all with the promise
to increase shareholder value through greater sales, streamlined operations and heightened customer satisfaction. Yet
today, many stakeholders and customers alike await the payoff.
Multiple Environments Lack Coordination
The problem is that no single technology solution provider does it all: a company partners with one firm to build its
financial systems, another to address its supply chain, and yet a third to service its customers and trading partners.
The result is that corporations now have multiple environments – each with its own bit of information. While independently
helping achieve departmental goals, these environments lack integration and coordination, leaving significant operational
gaps and inefficiencies.
Disparate applications, platforms, languages, databases and operating systems have confounded companies’ ability to leverage
the benefits of packaged solutions across the enterprise. While these applications have provided reasonable value and
functionality within an individual department or discipline, the continuation and extension of these benefits beyond
organizational boundaries are seldom achieved. Further, the majority of Fortune 1000 will fail to rationalize these
incongruities because they lack fundamental enterprise modeling skills, techniques and access to a new breed of tools.
