Tenrox articles received are always read and have value to me in what I do. So many vendor "solutions" are themsleves complex and silo-specific; i.e. we don't have a database, but rather databases that take us back to earlier years of pre-DBMS (database) days. With globalization and technology, the real business to business world has gotten a lot flatter but process communications, standards, workflows, and plain data management are lagging in my opinion. It appears tougher these days to run an IT operation (open platforms, apps, mobile, etc. or die!) than to run projects across an organization . . . and that is a serious indictment!
