These core\nprocesses vary from one form of information management or the other. ERP systems\nhelp in automating core processes that would hitherto be extremely time\nconsuming, less accurately, efficiently and effectively executed, and most\nimportantly, would have required several hands to execute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The paper reiterates the fact that Enterprise Resource\nPlanning solutions have become a major backbone in the operations of companies\nand corporate establishments. From human resources management to procurement,\nto supply chain and management of finances, ERP systems are an integral part of\nthe success or failure of an establishment in delivering on its mandate. The\npaper does give some strategic approach to selecting and implementing ERP\nsolutions with particular emphasis the need for business objectives<\/strong> drive the entire selection process. The paper\nalso outlines a number of questions business executives must answer in order for\ninvestments in these systems yield maximum benefits for the establishment.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe paper is silent on legal issues which should be of utmost\nconcern to business executives. The question\nif what kinds of licenses are available, how easy will it be for the company to\nmigrate their data from the said system to another, should incase a change is\nrequired. This will prevent being locked into a path dependence and guard\nagainst company operations being grounded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Furthermore, the paper posits that ERP systems are usually\nexpensive and that the specific business objective being pursued and how much\nthe ERP system will contribute to realizing that objective should inform the\ncompany\u2019s investments. What the paper is\nsilent on, however, is the purchasing a complete ERP solution may be expensive,\nbut some it is possible to buy only the modules that are required by the\ncompany. This will be less expensive than purchasing a complete ERP solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The paper also outlines certain ERP systems selection\nstrategy to be followed, which have proven to have worked over the years. It\nmakes a strong case for ensuring that the implementation strategy is followed\nis followed, as this will ensure success in this phase. In addition, the paper\nmentions that how easy or hard it is to operate the ERP system will be the\nyardstick to measure success and failure. Once the system is deployed, a\nsystems maintenance and user upskilling strategy needs to be in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The paper concludes that companies usually use one ERP system for a fairly long time. With this background knowledge in mind, it is important that executives ensure the right system, that fits the company\u2019s business objectives is selected. The paper is silent on the issues of infrastructure needed to effectively and efficiently run an ERP system. Even though it calls for further reading, an issue such as the hardware needed, and a significant part of the overall cost of the system should have been mentioned. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
