Ever had to research an ERP solution and ended up feeling like you needed a translator? Technology Evaluation Centers' managing editor Dave Clark feels your pain, and he wants to help. Clark has published a glossary of "The Top Ten ERP White Paper Buzzwords."
"Just because a vendor produces a polished, glitzy white paper doesn't mean its product is similarly polished," says Clark. "All it means is that the vendor has an accomplished marketing department, whose mantra is, "We've got the cure. Now let's hype the disease.
"Your mission is to go beyond the hype and understand not only the disease and cure, but also the symptoms, treatment side effects, alternative approaches, and the potential for relapse."
This glossary will help you achieve your mission, while also giving you a good chuckle.
