ERP Systems--1

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)--1

Some organizations - typically those with sufficient in-house IT skills to integrate multiple software products - choose to implement only portions of an ERP system and develop an external interface to other ERP or stand-alone systems for their other application needs. How does a organization get to this stage. The stage of implementing full ERP system.
How ERP became part of business life over a period of time?

New World Disorder


• Standards change or became irrelevant very quickly
• Rules are set by consensus
• Speed is the only sustainable competitive advantage
• You will compete with your partners
• Surprise! Technology is driving business again!
• Networks will make platforms almost indistinguishable
• The web is becoming business platform


IT and Business

• Focus of the 80s automate IT as a substitute to processes and tasks
• Late 80s - Integration to increase effectiveness between applications - when IT augments, it informations!
• Focus of the 90s - Realized that IT alone cannot provide sustained competitive advantage - need outstanding execution of
business process.
• Focus of the New Millennium - Best business practices are required to be competitive.
CRM and Inter organizational process are new focus.
In next part we will look at ERP Risks, ERP Trends & Future, and Workflow Management.
