Today, the offering, as we term it, is a unique combination of services and products which form the overall proposition to an organisation’s customers. Within a competitive market the uniqueness, coolness, functionality, price and value adding services, in combination, will determine the success or otherwise of an offering in a given market. The challenge however does not end with the design and development of the offering. If the market perceives that the proposition is not what it is made out to be, and the promise is not being fulfilled, the offering can quickly lose its appeal and destroy any reputation that was staked out in the market. In a partially dematerialised world, the providers of the various products and services will typically be global, brought together in an ecosystem providing the capabilities supporting the offeri Thu, 4 Jun 2009 03:22:58 EDT http://www.systemiclogic.net/modules/news/article.php?storyid=101 http://www.systemiclogic.net/modules/news/article.php?storyid=100 The advent of Internet and communication technology has significantly transformed the business of banking. It has also stimulated the development of Core Banking (CB) solutions that drive key banking operations. CB systems provide transaction processing and account management functions underpinning traditional and contemporary banking products and services. These systems ideally allow all products, processes, channels and customer relationship management tools to be integrated and administered through a central database of a bank, with branches and channels as delivery points. Innovations in the core banking IT systems capacitates a banking institution to develop, process, and manage its basic financial products and services effectively. Drivers of CB Systems Reform : Global Banking organisations are driving towards core banking systems transformations to re-establish themselves. Banks and other financial institutions are currently experiencing a number of challenges and pressures Fri, 29 May 2009 03:21:53 EDT http://www.systemiclogic.net/modules/news/article.php?storyid=100 http://www.systemiclogic.net/modules/news/article.php?storyid=99 [img align=center]http://www.systemiclogic.net/uploads/img4a1252023b878.jpg[/img] For a couple of years now the University of Pretoria's Gordon Institute of Business Science (GIBS) has worked with SystemicLogic executives in the area of Innovation. It is against this back ground that SystemicLogic is proud to be associated with the recent success at GIBS. For the sixth consecutive year, GIBS has been ranked as one of the World's top business schools by the prestigious [url=http://rankings.ft.com/businessschoolrankings/university-of-pretoria-gibs]UK Financial Times[/url]. GIBS was placed 38th in the rankings and is the only African business school to achieve this accolade. The ranking, announced earlier last week by the Financial Times, is based on the performance of GIBS’s Executive Education and Company-Specific Programmes (CSP). Professor Karl Hofmeyr, GIBS director of CSP, was delighted to see GIBS’s hard work pay off. “We are very pleased to share our success with the com Tue, 19 May 2009 03:23:08 EDT http://www.systemiclogic.net/modules/news/article.php?storyid=99 http://www.systemiclogic.net/modules/news/article.php?storyid=98 The major impetus behind collaboration (among other aspects) is the widespread use of Web-based applications and the rapid advances in the development of information and communication technologies. These changes have resulted in the emergence of highly networked global enterprises and an increased preference by the organisations to a project-based approach to work. The [url=http://www.mindquarry.com/community/articles/elements-collaboration]collaboration ecosystem[/url] generally consists of people, productivity software, collaborative software and collaboration methods.

Many organisations are now using Collaboration Tools chiefly to enable both the co-located and the geographically dispersed employee Thu, 9 Apr 2009 12:24:54 EDT http://www.systemiclogic.net/modules/news/article.php?storyid=98 http://www.systemiclogic.net/modules/news/article.php?storyid=97 [img]http://www.systemiclogic.net/uploads/img49ccd7701e2a0.jpg[/img] A fortnight ago, SystemicLogic South Africa conducted a very successful workshop around Innovation during the downturn. A group of IT executives, business leaders and other stakeholders from various backgrounds attended the workshop. Apart from the [url=http://www.systemiclogic.net/modules/wmpdownloads/singlefile.php?cid=106&lid=945]presentations[/url] from SystemicLogic's experts, the workshop ended with thought provoking discussions on topical innovation issues relevant to this contemporary business milieu. A [url=http://www.systemiclogic.net/modules/wmpdownloads/singlefile.php?cid=106&lid=947]consolidated view[/url] of the discourse is now available on the research portal. It consists of the initial questions or comments and is then followed by the key points made during the following discussion. The report has been consolidated into key themes that emerged and structured as a guideline for approaching these inno Fri, 27 Mar 2009 09:53:36 EDT http://www.systemiclogic.net/modules/news/article.php?storyid=97
