ServiceWare Solution of the Day
How to: Reconcile FI Ledgers in SAP's R/3 (4.0B).
 

HDI Tip of the Day
“Leaders of companies must have a long-range perspective, hard as that is to achieve given the Wall Street climate. Honestly, when I look at successful organizations, they almost all have a long-range perspective. There may be some down-turns, but basically I think that’s a critical necessity. Ironically, when Nicolas Brady took over as secretary of the Treasury, he said his major, long-term goal was to try to shift American industries from a short-range to a long-range perspective. It still hasn’t happened.” – Managing People is Like Herding Cats, by Warren Bennis
