New technologies that allow real-time information sharing within and across enterprises make supply-chain management possible, but management practices and incentive systems often fail to keep pace.

Deep Linking Lingers On (Jun 2002)
One of the most fundamental characteristics of the Internet, perhaps the one feature which defines the vast, interconnected array of communications and computer systems, is the ability to direct users seamlessly from one point to another.

Linking takes many forms, and depending on such factors as the content, the context, and the relationship between the two sites involved, the practice gives rise to many legal issues and several unresolved questions.

SAP Opens Up and Moves Down Market (June 2002)
Though it may seem longer, especially if you have been personally involved in implementing R/3, SAP AG released its premier ERP suite just ten years ago.

But the costs and effort required were often rewarded by major gains in competitive advantage and entry into new marketplaces.

Examples of such databases could include lists of names and addresses, geographic information, or statistical compilations. Whether you are the licensor or the licensee, you have probably taken for granted the free use of this information. The adage that "nothing is free," however, may prove true in the realm of database licensing as well. If you incorporate such data into your company's products, this could mean increased licensing overhead, and if you use such software, you may expect this expense to be passed on to you by your vendor.
