It is quite common for buyers to use Request for Proposal (RFP) to solicit interest in an IT project implementation. Buyer floats an RFP after collating the requirements for the project, short listing the potential vendors/suppliers, and securing a high-level agreement on priorities.

After installing a recent patchset, Siebel HI developer client started throwing an unexpected error message for mobile clients. The message simply said – Your version of the Siebel High Interactivity Framework for IE, required for use of this Siebel application, may not be current.

The world loves its terminologies and nomenclature. IT and CRM are no exception. Big data made its mark on the world. This was a term given to the data that was so large, complex that the traditional Analytics tools could not handle them - think social interactions, world’s population growth etc.

One of the persistent requirements that I have seen over years in Siebel is to tag editing rights to specific user roles. A related requirement is to have the fields required for a specific group of users.

The state of Oregon has sued Oracle for breach of contract. Read the complaint - at least the first 7 pages. It looks a scene taken from a suspense movie unravelling itself.

If you are a Siebel developer, you have used Interactive SQL (iSQL) client one too many times for sure. Also known as iSQL Anywhere or SQL Anywhere, this is a client supplied by Sybase and is a small utility that sits in the BIN folder of both Client and Tools folders of the local Siebel install.

When you install v8.1.1.11 the first thing that you observe is that the Siebel application does not start up properly . You will eventually find the solution, and want to move on – but Siebel Tools seems to take forever to do the compilation.

I don’t really use Siebel Sample client application very well. Although Siebel Sample Tools is referenced multiple times in a week/month, Siebel client does not find the same amount of use.

Velocify conducted a secret study of how select (presumably popular) companies respond to sales leads from their websites . What Velocify did was quite simple - they just went to the company websites, navigated to the forms that clearly spelled out that the visitor is interested in company products/services, and waited for a return call, or email.

You are happy that Siebel 8 supports Windows 7. You install a fresh instance of Windows 7, Siebel on top of it. And, you will see none of our beloved Siebel local DB connections in the ODBC settings.
