For the concept in Thomas Kuhn's philosophy of science, see normal science. A puzzle is a problem or enigma that challenges ingenuity. by extending internal integration techniques, Cyclone's suite of products and services are shown to be an effective means of connecting and managing large value chains. "The Yankee Group is the first to provide definitive research that the marketplace is addressing external collaboration differently than internal integration, while also defining and measuring a new category of solutions provider," said Jeff Kukowski, vice president of marketing at Cyclone Commerce. In the newly published report, The Yankee Group describes how current EAI technology is limited in its ability to connect organizations to more than five trading partners. As a result, many organizations are facing long-term business implications, ultimately resulting in "supply chain chaos." A solution to this problem, as defined by Yankee, is the implementation of an ENC ENC Encoded (File Name Extension) ENC Enclosure ENC Mime-Encoded (virus scanners) ENC Eastern North Carolina ENC Eisenhower National Clearinghouse for Mathematics and Science Education , which plugs an organization into its electronic business ecosystem and mediates between the chaos of the external partner community and the stability of internal corporate systems. "The stakes are high in the race to build applications that help companies share information and collaborate online," said Jon Derome, senior analyst at The Yankee Group. "Although EAI tools are well suited to solve the internal application integration challenge, external EAI integration is complex, resource intensive and difficult to adapt to business processes. ENC technology can streamline inter-enterprise electronic interactions that will relieve the current state of chaos and complexity in the supply chain." In its analysis, Yankee conducted more than 110 in-depth interviews with B-to-B decision makers over the past 12 months. The companies interviewed generated more than $900 billion in 2002 revenue and spent hundreds of millions on IT last year.
