What is an ERP System – definitions
Simplistic DefinitionERP - Enterprise Resource PlanningDetailed Definition“a business strategy and set of industry-domain-specific applications that build customer and shareholder communities value network system by enabling and optimizing enterprise and inter-enterprise collaborative operational and financial processes”(Source: Gartner’s Research Note SPA-12-0420)
Historical system architectures Historically, companies created
“islands of automation”. A hodge-podge of various systems that operated or managed various divergent business processes. Sometimes these systems were integrated with each other and sometimes they weren’t. Sometimes they were loosely interfaced and sometimes they were more tightly interfaced.
What is an ERP – Key Characteristics
Integrationseamless integration of all the information flowing through a company – financial and accounting, human resource information, supply chain information, and customer information.
PackagesEnterprise systems are not developed in-house
IS life cycle is different1. Mapping organizational requirements to the
processes and terminology employed by the vendor and
2. Making informed choices about the parameter setting.
Organizations that purchase enterprise systems enter into long-term relationships with vendors. Organizations no longer control their own destiny.
Best Practices ERP vendors talk to many different
businesses within a given industry as well as academics to determine the best and most efficient way of accounting for various transactions and managing different processes. The result is claimed to be “industry best practices”.
The general consensus is that business process change adds considerably to the expense and risk of an enterprise systems implementation. Some organisations rebel against the inflexibility of these imposed business practices.
Some Assembly Required Only the software is integrated, not the computing platform on which it runs. Most companies have great difficulty integrating their enterprise software with a package of hardware, operating systems, database management systems software, and telecommunications suited to their specific needs. Interfaces to legacy systems Third-party bolt-on applications
EvolvingEnterprise Systems are changing
rapidly Architecturally: Mainframe,
Client/Server, Web-enabled, Object-oriented, Componentization
Functionally: front-office (i.e. sales management), supply chain (advanced planning and scheduling), data warehousing, specialized vertical industry solutions, etc.

businessEliminate costly mainframe/fragmented technologies
Improved Integration of Systems and ProcessesLower CostsEmpower EmployeesEnable Partners, Customers and Suppliers

How should we implement ERP Systems?
People Project Structure Should be aligned to processes
Process Implementation Process (outlined in
detail) Adapt your processes to those of the ERP.
Technology Hardware Software Integrated Systems
Process
1. Definition and Analysis Hold discussions with various
functional personnel to establish the actual number of systems operating at client site, what they are used for, why and how often
Produce the Project Scoping Document outlining current situation, proposed solution and budgeted time
Challenge : REQUISITE EXPERTISE - No two clients are the same
. Design Prepare various functional reports - specifies
current scenario and wish list Prepare Design document which specifies
how the system is going to work Prepare test scripts to be followed on system
testing Map out the interface paths to various
modules
Challenge : INFORMATION SHARING - Availability of staff
3. Build Configure system as per set up
document specifications i.e. transfer conceptual model into reality
Test system to verify accuracy (preliminary tests)
Challenge : TECHNICAL ENVIRONMENT - System functionality
4. Transition Train users on their specific areas Assist in test data compilation and
system testing by users Finalise the Live system and captured
opening balances
Challenge : USER RESISTANCE Understanding and acceptance
data preparation
5. Production Official hand holding Effectiveness assessment Business and Technical Direction

Technology
Technology is an enabler, not the driver (it is there to assist the organization to achieve business goals)

ERP Benefits
1. Having integrated systems helps that many businesses had previously started to use (also didn’t have to fix those old legacy systems)
2. Integrate financial information and customer order information
3. Everyone working with the same information and removes misinformation
