2000-2001 Potential of U.S. States to Participate in Supply Chain Systems (Oct 2000)
To help organizations identify areas within the U.S. that have high potential for participating in supply chains in 2000 and 2001, Computer Economics ranked each of the states relative to each other in terms of their potential supply chain volume. We concluded that California has the largest potential dollar amount flowing through supply chain systems. The state. s relative rank of 100.0 should indicate to supply chain operators looking to promote their systems that California has a high supply chain density and has many organizations to participate in new supply chains.

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.

eXtreme Programming Opens New Possibilities (Feb 2002)
The only certainties in software development are that the application will arrive late, cost more than expected, and fail to meet all of its functional requirements. Based on numerous evaluations conducted by Computer Economics, more than 90 percent of large-scale software applications fail to meet at least one of these goals, and about half of all developmental efforts are abandoned without delivering any useful product.
