Application Service Providers Can Provide Cost-Effective Outsourcing Solutions (Jul 2000)
The application service provider (ASP) market grows hotter every day as organizations find new ways to cut costs and increase returns on investment through creative outsourcing by means of these online services. The ASP model is based on the concept of letting someone else bring together the hardware, software, management, and staffing necessary to solve business problems. Increasingly, lenders and stockholders are looking askance at large in-house IT organizations, so creative managers are looking toward outsourcing as an alternative. And ASPs can often provide IT applications that are not suitable for traditional outsourcing.

Compaq/Digital Shared Storage Overview (Aug 2000)
Shared storage provides an economical option for meeting the storage demands of multiple-host environments. Shared storage allows for more effective management of storage for a lower total cost because multiple-host storage needs can be consolidated into a few storage systems, resulting in fewer hardware components and fewer physical locations. Heterogeneous storage area networks go a step further by allowing the interconnection of multiple shared storage environments into a single network and enabling single point management of the storage environment. In addition, the consolidated storage becomes available to any host server, regardless of physical location.

Turbulence Ahead in the ERP Market (Nov 2000)
The promises of the ERP revolution of a few years ago have too often been realized as expensive, bulky software coupled with painful rollouts and often wrenching organizational realignments. Consequently, ERP vendors are under the gun. Several have faced hard economic times along with rapid changeovers in the executive suites and disappointed customers. The major ERP suppliers are also facing a wakeup call from nimble e-commerce competitors such as Ariba, Clarify, Commerce One, I2 Technologies, and Siebel Systems to say nothing about their traditional adversaries, IBM and Microsoft. Application service providers are yet another threat to ERP providers' welfare.

Will Microsoft’s E-Business Plan Pay Off?
Long-time users of Microsoft products are finding themselves in that familiar but disconcerting position again as they enter the e-business realm. Just as Microsoft did with Windows and the Internet, it is once more planning on a grand scale, delaying software launch dates, and confusing potential customers. Despite these drawbacks, the likelihood of Microsoft eventually bringing successful electronic commerce to market is high. And if the products even come close to their grandiose goals, the software will solve many problems for electronic merchants.

2000-2001 Industry Rankings by Number of Companies in the Sector (Oct 2000)
One way some supply chain operators identify industries within the U.S. that may by likely to participate in supply chains in 2000 and 2001 is to determine which industries have the largest number of companies in them. However, before recruiting all of the most densely populated industries into supply chains it is important for supply chain promoters to also examine the amount of revenue that is likely to flow through supply chains in the given industry. A large number of companies in an industry may mean it is a good target for supply chain participation, but supply chain promoters should not stop there.

To help organizations identify industries within the U.S. that have high potential for participating in supply chains in 2000 and 2001, Computer Economics ranked each industry by NAICS code in terms of its potential supply chain volume. Figure 1 shows the top ten industries that have the highest potential dollar amount flowing through supply chain systems in 2000 and 2001. The automobile wholesale sector's relative rank of 100.0 should indicate to supply chain operators looking to promote their systems that this industry has a high supply chain density and has many organizations to participate in new supply chains.

2000-2001 Industry Rankings by Revenue Volume (Oct 2000)
One way to identify industries within the U.S. that may by likely to participate in supply chains in 2000 and 2001 is to determine which industries have the largest amounts of revenue. However, before recruiting all of the top revenue industries into supply chains it is important for supply chain promoters to examine the portion of revenue that is likely to flow through supply chains in a given industry. Large volume in revenue is typically the first clue that the industry will participate in supply chains at a high rate during 2000 and 2001, but supply chain promoters should not stop there.

Identifying Locations and Industries With High Potential for Supply Chain Participation
When supply chain promoters must identify the best potential participants for their systems, several approaches can be used. The most effective technique is to determine which industries are likely to have the highest amount of money flowing through supply chains in the coming years. Looking at potential dollar volume in supply chains by state is another profitable way to find future supply chain participants. In addition, supply chain promoters may also look at the amount of total revenue in an industry as well as the total number of companies in the sector, but these are not as accurate measures.
