Above Average(s): Measuring Application Development Performance
If I was in a room with the starting centers from every team in the NBA, I could say I was about 7 feet tall--based on the average of everyone present. Although misleading, this would be a true statement. IT organizations risk falling into a similar trap of misperception if they measure application development (AD) quality and productivity based on industry averages or high-level aggregates from myriad sources. Such an approach rarely provides meaningful insight into how well or poorly you're doing. More importantly, averages can't tell you what to do to improve your software development. To use measurement effectively, it's necessary to drill down to identify specific performance gaps and take specific actions toward improvement.

Application service providers are yet another threat to ERP providers' welfare.

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. The ever-growing demand for new software, along with increasing complexity of the applications, will only exacerbate the situation.

How to Make CRM Financially Viable
The purpose of customer relationship management (CRM) is to provide a dialog between your customers and your business.
