http://manojranaweera.wordpress.com (last posted on 29/01/07) continues to be more popular than http://www.manojranaweera.com. Here is a comparison of the two blogs: WordPress hosted Hits: 16,082 Google page rankings: 5  Technorati rankings: Rank: 129,676 (104 links from 31 blogs) Self-hosted (somewhere on earth) Hits:  14,841 Google page rankings: 0 Technorati rankings:  Rank: 462,695 (15 links from 9 blogs) This is frustrating! The question I keep asking myself is should I shut down the old blog? Bit of advice: If you are thinking of starting a blog and can read your future, do make the effort to host it under your own URL…

According to computing magazine, Accenture has beaten BT Global Services, IBM and LogicaCMG to win the lucrative contract to run the back-office systems of the The London Organising Committee for the 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games (Locog). Accenture will integrate Locog’s systems and services to create a platform which will drive the planning of the games. The integrated system will provide a single repository for all new and recorded data used in the planning process of the London Games across functions including finance, accounting, facilities, ticket allocation, scheduling, personnel and procurement. The deal will not cover the Games’ time operating systems…

I just had a quick glance at key players in the EIPP (specially those who are considered to have models similar to ebdex) space including those who integrate with accounts payable systems. To my disappointment, Accountis, Causeway Technologies, Burns e-Commerce Solutions, and Tradocs have no news to share this month. How sad is this? These are companies with revenues, customers and history. Yet we all complain about lack of customer awareness. OB10 managed to get just one story out. Congratulations! (yes I am being sarcastic!) Career Education Corp. Joins OB10 e-Invoicing Network to Reduce Costs, Improve Financial Management. But the…

In Nov 2006, Causeway reported annual transaction volume in excess of 2.5 million for its Tradex platform, which has been operational for number of years and was originally designed specifically for the construction industry. Causeway also reported the value of transactions to be in excess of £1bn, i.e. an average transaction value of £400. Tradex’s customers include Sir Robert McAlpine, Taylor Woodrow, Morgan Sindall, Amec, Alfred McAlpine, Aggregate Industries, CEMEX, Tarmac, Hanson, GAP Group, Speedy Hire, HSS, Hewden Stuart, Greenham Trading, Jewson and Travis Perkins to name a few. Celebrating the success, Duncan Speight, Tradex Business Development Manager commented, “The…

Bruno Koch has been providing consultancy services in addition to running EXPP events for the last 10 years. His company, Billentis offers advisory services to clients seeking EIPP and EBPP solutions, similar to my idea of forming ebdex Consultancy. Bruno has provided consultancy services to more than 100 customers from over 20 countries, a track record only to be congratulated. Bruno has done more to promote EIPP/e-invoicing solutions in Europe than anyone else I know. The third EXPP summit will be held on 10th and 11th of September in the UK. The last summit which was held in Germany attracted…

I spent most of this morning trying to ascertain whether BT Transact can be resurrected, as I saw an opportunity. Alas to my dismay, the decision was taken at least 7 months ago when BT wrote to their customers giving them 12 months notice. BT has made alternative arrangements for these companies including helping them to migrate to solutions offered by other companies. Now less than 10 customers are on the platform, and BT will continue to help them move to different solutions. It seems that BT has made enquiries to off-load the platform, but no viable option was found.…

Have you visited Version One’s website in the past? Were you impressed? Probably the answer was "no". Have a look at their new website. Except for "Copyright 2006" at the bottom of page, it looks great. My disappointment is that there is no blog. But they have provided a RSS feed. What is also missing is details of the Board and the senior management. Perhaps, this is due to the fact that Version One is a family owned business. Actually owned by two families, Bray and McGain. Husbands and wives (I may have analysed this slightly wrong as there are…

Thanks to Bhaskar Mahendrakar, a full time MBA Student at Manchester Business School (MBS), I learned today that the School has finally started a blog in Oct 06. The idea is to capture the thoughts of MBA students during their stay at the School. In addition, MBS finally saw the arrival of their new Director, Professor Michael Luger. I am happy to announce that he also plans to blog. What a refreshing change. It would even be better if the school starts to treat their students as clients (a question for which I never got an answer from Prof John…

Everyday, I am amazed to find another company I have not heard of operating in the same competitive environment as ebdex. This time, a company called DDC HRO, with over 3500 staff. Introduction DDC HRO introduces itself as a "global human capital BPO solutions" provider.  It’s strap line gives out a simple yet effective message, "right people, right locations, right results". Part of the DDC Group, the DCC HRO’s core competencies are in the areas of Data Administration Human Resource Administration Accounts and Financial Processing Marketing & Sales Document Processing Research & Development Information Technology Founded by Jan Trevalyan and…
