Asset Management. They still don't have a good handle on where everything they bought actually is. While in better shape then they were, if Cummins had to do one thing over, it would be to make the asset manager a key team player at the front end, rather than at the end of the process. They now use a product called Eracent for asset management, and they swear by it. Financial Goals Exceeded The end result of the deployment exceeded its financial goals, without even taking into consideration the massive improvement in employee uptime, user satisfaction and company flexibility that Cummins now enjoys. Even though they will competitively bid this again when they do the next big roll out, they were pleased with IBM's help, and, given the problems, this makes the deployment a success in anyone's book. The lesson learned is that for complex projects to be successful, you need a strong leader, a strong team with dedicated qualified members, Six Sigma-like goals and measurements, a vendor who can execute and the full support of management. Success should have a very positive career impact. If any of this is missing, well, early retirement does have its benefits. However, I would suggest that doing this right might be the better choice.

I come from a time when getting ready for school meant buying a couple of binders, some pencils and some new clothes you wouldn't be caught dead in. Transportation was a one-speed bicycle (no I didn't walk 10 miles in the snow, that was my grandfather), and high tech was a circular slide rule ...

Enderle Group analyst Rob Enderle said Fiorina's actions were designed to quickly put last quarter's problems behind HP and focus the entire company on executing going forward "That kind of quick, decisive action goes a long way to setting a tone for the company," Enderle told...

One of the biggest questions a person will deal with in his or her life, regardless of the career path, is ethics. We make trade-offs when we "borrow" a stapler from work, take a sick day to go fishing or play golf, and take credit for something that was done by someone else. In the wake of the Enron, WorldCom and even Martha Stewart scandals, maybe its time we took a look at our own ethics and, by way of example, I'll focus this week on industry and IT analysts...
