LESSON NOTES
============
ERP systems represent huge investments for the organizations that install them. So, there must be a compelling business case driving their adoption. Here are some of the claimed benefits.
• Reduced Costs
• Increased Productivity
• Inventory Control
• Happier Customers
• Regulatory Compliance
• Data Analysis
• Greater Collaboration
Definition of ERP
There is no fixed definition of ERP. Each vendor defines it in terms of the capabilities their product excels at. The other challenge is that most definitions are jargon-ridden:
Enterprise resource planning (ERP) is the integrated management of core business processes, often in real-time and mediated by software and technology.
or
Enterprise resource planning (ERP) is a process by which a company manages and integrates the important parts of its business. An ERP management information system integrates areas such as planning, purchasing, inventory, sales, marketing, finance and human resources.
My favorite has less jargon:
ERP is an IT system that helps businesses run important processes, such as financials, materials planning, and HR.
ERP Implementation Steps
1. Figure out what you want to achieve and why
2. Project Definition
3. Evaluate your Options
4. Implementation
5. Change Management
6. Training
7. Go Live
8. Ongoing Support
Suppliers
The biggest are SAP and Oracle with a third of the market between them. Unsurprisingly, Microsoft is working hard to win bigger accounts for its ERP services. Other names to know include Sage, Infor, Epicor, and Workday.
