World Wide Web Wanderer:

Soon the web's first robot came. In June 1993 Matthew Gray introduced the World Wide Web Wanderer. He initially wanted to measure the growth of the web and created this bot to count active web servers. He soon upgraded the bot to capture actual URL's. His database became knows as the Wandex.

The Wanderer was as much of a problem as it was a solution because it caused system lag by accessing the same page hundreds of times a day. It did not take long for him to fix this software, but people started to question the value of bots....

Best Practices for Benchmarking

Best Practices for Benchmarking

Managers of Maines Paper & Food Service were stumped. Their benchmarking data showed what appeared to be significant performance differences between two company locations. Each site was handling very similar work—in fact, they both were servicing the same client—but figures associated with cost and profitability were dramatically different.

"One unit appeared to be markedly underperforming," recalls William A. Mastrosimone, chief financial officer of the Conklin, NY, company. "We puzzled over it for quite some time."

The puzzle was solved when Mastrosimone and his colleagues uncovered a factor not considered in the benchmarking effort: the age of the two facilities. One had been operating for twenty years, the other for only three—and both units had quite a few staff who had joined the company when their location opened. The older facility had a significant share of twenty-year employees, whose pay "had hit the top of the grid," Mastrosimone says, while the newer location had only a handful of employees with more than a few years' employment. That skewed many unit costs, which took into account personnel expenses.
