Project Based Solutions: Transition from manufacturing to service economy requires the right software

July 1, 2006

Project professionals remain challenged with business solutions that force fit production and manufacturing applications to meet the needs of knowledge based, information workers.

As enterprises make the shift to a service based and project based world, project based solutions are the only applications category that enterprises can rely on to deliver on process automation, process improvement, and innovation for this new world of work.
