Project-based solutions

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Contested proposed deletion. Unreferenced original research and a gibberish description of a non-notable neologism (The term was introduced by the research and analyst firm Forrester in 2007.):

Project based solutions (PBS) is an enterprise wide computer software business solution to manage and coordinate all resources, information and functions of an organisation from a shared data source; where data can be attributed to and managed through individual projects.

The article text belabors the obvious in the manner typical of the genre:

To be considered a PBS system, a software package must be able to link and manage details via a unique project reference and be managed within a project plan, including:
- Resources (people, equipment, facilities, materials and cash)
- Product information
- Customer details
- Supplier details
- Time.

and is full of passages that no reasonable person can be expected to get any sense out of:

The PBS modules are similar to those modules in a Enterprise resource planning solution. The fundamental difference is the planning and execution engine in PBS; designed to manage demands from customers in the form of orders, contracts or schedules; where the final deliverable may not be completely specified (either from a functional, design or date required perspective) at the contract/order acceptance stage. Project reference is integrated fully within each module to provide the ability to manage all the changes that occur through time in the transition from the accepted contract/order to what is finally required for delivery by the supplier to the customer.

Delete #1 zero indication of wp:notability #2 Zero references #3 The article is an incoherent bunch of vague nothings put together, i.e. gibberish. Might even be a hoax. North8000 (talk) 16:43, 30 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Not a hoax. See [1], and [2]. This is a concept coined by Forrester. However, there really doesn't seem to have been much coverage of this concept in reliable sources. I'm sure the consultants are sighing because if this had caught on, it looks like the sort of thing that would allow them to engage in sweet consulting gigs wherein they provide guidance and best practices to inject synergy and modern frameworks into legacy solutions through the evolutionary introduction of project based solutions software (or some such bafflegab). -- Whpq (talk) 18:17, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
