HR Software Helps Sox Win
Red Sox fans blame a human-resources gaffe (What other team in history
would have traded Babe Ruth to the New York Yankees, its main rival?)
for the Olde Towne Team's 86-year absence from the World Series winner's
circle. But an HR application might have been the key to assembling the
team that finally won one for Boston. Our story details how a
human-capital management system helped the new owners retool
the Sox' lineup and put an end the Bambino's curse.

This tool from our premium library can help you figure
out if you can use smart software to build up your own team, even if
there isn't a World Series in your future.

Waste Not, Lose Not
Keeping the store shelves full is a great way to make money; keeping
the back rooms and warehouses full is not. Demand-planning software can
help you ship just the items you'll sell, but if the predictions are
wrong, or the systems cost more than they save, you might as well use
paper and pencil. Work out the math to see if software that can predict
your sales future makes sense in your present, using this tool from our
Premium Library.

Get A Positive ROI
There are a million ways to calculate whether an investment in
technology actually makes sense; pure return-on-investment calculations
sometimes miss important factors, especially with investments like
technology, whose main purpose is often to help other departments do
their jobs better. Only you (and your CFO) know what other elements go
into a buying decision, but this tool from our Premium Library can be a
good start on the road to finding out whether a new system will be a
bonus or a bust.
