We do not intend to list the Dollar Exchange Notes on any securities exchange or automated quotation system. Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Notes for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Notes. By so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). A broker-dealer who acquired Original Notes as a result of market making or other trading activities may use this prospectus, as supplemented or amended from time to time, in connection with any resales of the Exchange Notes. We have agreed that, for a period of up to 180 days after the closing of the exchange offer, we will make this prospectus available for use in connection with any such resale. See “Plan of Distribution.” Neither the SEC nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of the Exchange Notes or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this prospectus.

  • The State of the ERP 2Nd Edition | September 2020 | Trenegy Incorporated the Modern ERP
    The State of the ERP 2nd Edition | September 2020 | Trenegy Incorporated The Modern ERP Widespread use and development of the ERP as we know it today—a multi-functional, integrated, company-wide system of record—boomed in the 1990s. Since then, many companies have kept those same base systems, simply upgrading, patching, and bolting on more capabilities. Today, nearly 25 years later, organizations are finding ERPs have advanced to such a degree that patches and bolt-ons may no longer be enough. After all this time, their systems have been so customized they can no longer be supported or upgraded to house modern tools. ERP systems have evolved, and the industry is nearing maturity. 2020 will see the full development of once cutting-edge technologies, increased demand for integrated, real-time data transmission, and automated compliance capabilities. Technology Jargon Technology is rapidly advancing and changing how businesses operate. Incorporating advanced technology within an ERP is a trend for many ERP providers. Below are explanations of the jargon ERP vendors use along with 2019 trends. Artificial Intelligence (AI) AI was, at one time, arguably the most disruptive concept on the planet. Today, it is accepted and working its way into the ERP space. Whether companies are using it to identify unique customer characteristics, simplify system functionality, or improve production utilization, AI in ERP has potential. Larger companies like SAP, Oracle, and Microsoft are exploring this space, but revolutionary AI breakthroughs for the ERP are likely several years away. Business Intelligence (BI) BI is where the most applicable, current use of AI capabilities is seen in ERPs.

    eRC McMaster eBusiness Research Centre BARRIERS TO SME e-PROCUREMENT SOLUTIONS IN CANADA: A SURVEY By Cam Cuthbert, Dan Hamzic and Norm Archer [email protected] McMaster eBusiness Research Centre (MeRC) DeGroote School of Business MeRC Working Paper No. 7 Aug ust 2003 McMaste,r University . ! Innis , · ..� (/, .) .. ..� HF 5548.32 .M385 no.7 BARRIERS TO SME e-PROCUREMENT SOLUTIONS IN CANADA: A SURVEY By Cam Cuthbert, Dan Hamzic and Norm Archer MeRC Working Paper # 7 August 2003 © McMaster eBusiness Research Centre (MeRC) DeGroote School of Business McMaster University Hamilton, Ontario, L8S 4M4 Canada [email protected] ABSTRACT Many SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises) handle procurement through an inefficient combi­ nation of manual processes, including paper records, phone calls, e-mails, and faxes. This can lead to problems such as limited financial reporting,lack of readily accessible management infor­ mation, lower levels of vendor compliance, and unauthorized spending. There are e-procurement solutions that can address these issues, but most of these tend to be expensive, complex, require technical expertise to install and maintain, and are usually oriented towards larger firms. The purpose of this study was to examine the barriers perceived by Canadian SMEs to e-procurement. A total of 5 3 companies responded to the questionnaire in a survey distributed primarily by e­ mail during June and July 2003. Findings fromthe survey indicate that e-procurement in Cana­ dian SMEs has a slow acceptance rate compared to other Internet-based solutions. Major find­ ings were that many companies were not familiarwith e-procurement solutions, and almost half indicated they would not be considering such solutions within the next three years.

  • Networks and Multi-Party Solutions for Supply Chain— Understanding the Landscape
    Networks and Multi-party Solutions for Supply Chain— Understanding the Landscape ___________________________________________________________________ Part Two Ann Grackin - ChainLink Research 2019 1 ChainLink Research – 2019 All Rights Reserved No part of this document can be reproduced without the permissions of the authors. Selecting a Partner One of the greatest responsibilities the supply chain manager can have is selecting the right technology partner. The platitude that “we live in the information age” hides the fact that many companies still don’t understand the various architectural approaches and can select the appropriate technology for their needs. The supply chain market is awash with tech companies and lots of market buzz. However, peering behind the curtain is tough and, frankly, requires a skilled eye. One can develop such an eye, but it requires spending time and exercising due diligence to make an informed choice. In supply chain networks, not all players’ underlying architecture works the same. So although some companies have large asset bases (lots of software modules and lots of network members), it does not follow that your problem will be solved by their inventory of software.1 That is why, at ChainLink, we do not arbitrarily rate providers. Rather, we provide our subscribers a differentiated view of what these players do and how they do it.2 Before you put a huge chunk of your capital—and, most importantly, your business success—in the hands of one of these players, take the time to understand the appropriate solution for your problem. This is Part Two of a two-part report. In Part One, we defined some of the nuanced approaches of supply chain networks.
