Enterprise Resourse Planning

Sakeesoft mainly deals with the financial sectors in the ERP systems. ERP systems attempt to integrate several data sources and processes of an organization into a unified system. A key ingredient of most ERP systems is the use of a unified database to store data for the various system modules. The two key components of an ERP system are a common database and a modular software design. A common database is the system that allows every department of a company to store and retrieve information in real-time. Using a common database allows information to be more reliable, accessible, and easily shared.

Rich error handling in BizTalk 2006

Rich error handling in BizTalk 2006

In my last post, I wrote the key points of recoverable interchange and it states,

“Any interchange failed and suspended for its content error should not be resumed from BizTalk administration console”

As soon as message failed, your MOM gives you an alert or creates you an automatic Service Center tickets. But what shall I do with the suspended message failed for its content error?

You can save the suspended message, email it to the support team, investigate the content and trigger it back to the BizTalk receive location. – Very traditional rite?

BizTalk 2006 opens a new way to track the error from business perspective that is failed message routing.

Enable “Generate error report for failed Message” option in your receive location, from now your message will not be suspended and routed to message box. How?
Your failed message will be transformed to Common Error Message type, which can be subscribed by an orchestration or send port.

Let us take a scenario and discuss how failed message routing works step by step.

Post-Implementation Results

Many industry leaders, including Panorama Consulting Group, have published thoughts regarding the evasive nature of ERP benefits. Our 2008 ERP Report underscores this hypothesis. As Figure F outlines, only one out of five companies (21%) realize at least half of the business benefits they expected from their ERP systems. In addition, over half (57%) realized major operational disruptions after go-live, including the inability to ship products to customers in some cases. One a positive note, two out of three (70%) of the participants in the study were able to realize some type of staff optimization as a result of their investment in ERP.

Clearly, despite the large investment most companies make in ERP software, benefits are by no means guaranteed. In addition, the risk of ERP implementation causing a disruption to the organization’s core operations is a significant risk. These factors are clearly areas that will affect the ROI of the ERP investment and should be carefully managed as part of an overall ERP benefits realization plan.

Bringing the ERP Community together

The ERP Community has been set up by Griff & Jones to create a community of SME manufacturing companies across the UK and Europe.

The aim of the Community is to share best practice ideas with like-minded users and implementers of ERP systems, to generate a forum to share and exchange current ideas, issues, and resolutions, hold regular events showcasing highlighted businesses and guest speakers, and to deliver networking opportunities to review new products and complementary services.

Why can't I have pretty 3D graphics? 

There actually are a few circumstances where this is useful. If you wanted to demonstrate your robot concept to non-technical people that can potentially give you lots of money, then you'd want to *animate* your robot. 3D graphics are also very helpful as CAD tools, something I like to use when designing complicated parts and assemblies. Doing it all on paper is a pain .

Overview ERP(Enterprise Resource Planning)

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. For instance, the PeopleSoft HRMS and financials systems may be perceived to be better than SAP's HRMS solution. And likewise, some may perceive SAP's manufacturing and CRM systems as better than PeopleSoft's equivalents. In this case these organizations may justify the purchase of an ERP system, but choose to purchase the PeopleSoft HRMS and financials modules from Oracle, and their remaining applications from SAP.

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)

Enterprise resource planning helps in integrating all departments and functions within a company in a single computer system that serves specific needs of different departments.

ERP is often referred as back-office software and does not run the up-front selling process. When the customer service representative enters the customer order in the ERP system, he has access to all the required information such as customer’s rating, company’s inventory levels from the warehouse module, and shipping dock’s trucking schedule from the logistics module.

Enterprise Resource Planning

Enterprise resource planning is a software architecture that facilitates the flow of information between manufacturing, logistics, finance and human resources functions within a company [3] and, as such, is an enterprise-wide information system [4] (See Figure 1). Using a centralized database operating on a common computing platform, ERP system components interact with an integrated set of commonly designed applications, consolidating all business operations into a uniform system environment [5].

Deciding On Project Scope
Scope management procedures must also be created and enforced to prevent "never ending project" syndrome. Constant scope changes, whether increases or decreases, cause confusion among project team members. The primary focus of scope management is on defining and controlling what is and is not included in the project. The project manager must work with other departments to clearly define the project scope. If the project scope is not defined properly, required work is missed, jeopardizing the project success. On the flip side, work outside the scope of the project may be done, hurting the budget.

ERP CM INDIA - ERP IMPLEMENTATION

An ERP solution helps an organization to integrate all information across many functional areas. With this system, most business problems are solved. The implementation requires dissecting every link in the operational and decision-making chains and then reconstructing them to take advantage of the new systems. The biggest gain from implementing an ERP solution is that it forces a company to institute a proven set of busines processes, rather than reinvent the wheel. ERP systems allow the users to turn off functionality as needed to adapt quickly to changes in their business.

Architecture methodologies & ERP implementation approaches

I remember reading a book review in an in-flight magazine. It was on Indian architecture. A paragraph read “Unlike the Western Architect who approached the subject from a total conception and moved down to the details, the Indian Temple designer moved from both ends simultaneously. The details play a major role and affect the final outcome in a startling way creating monuments of great uniqueness.”

I liked it because it somehow related to the trade I am. I was traveling to meet a prospective ERP implementation client. I used the review in the discussions I had that day.

The way I understand the above passage is that the architect first conceives the basic design principles of the structure. This would define the look and feeling and the mood the building would create. The details in the building would need to be in line with this framework.

Most common mistake in ERP implementation

Consider a big organization with fully developed and established legacy systems. Organization has been running its businesses for so many years with fully developed and matured legacy systems. Now with scaling up of operations and a need to achieve better harmonization amongst various departments of organization, management has deemed it fit to go out for an ERP implementation.
Management is under pressure and wants to go ahead with ERP implementation at a fast pace. The implementation team, the trainers and the persons from the organization know that given time line is not feasible. Team has done an excellent exercise and prepared a fine blueprint and the roadmap.

ERP Myths and Facts

MYTH: “Our project is not progressing as planned because it lacks management commitment”

FACT: Progress is often not achieved because of management burn-out. People involved can be disillusioned by promises made and expectations that were built-up by overzealous vendor reps, consultants who collect exorbitant fees as the project lingers and IT personnel who were looking for big budgets and the opportunity to rub shoulders with the “big boys.” When management is made aware of the process, and understands that there are no silver bullets in ERP or quick fixes, then expectations don’t run amok and progress can be measured in a real and meaningful fashion. A successful ERP implementation can provide a qualifiable ROI.

Architecture of Open Source ERP Tools.

There are probably as many definitions of software architecture as there are people defining it. Most of them begin by stating that software architecture is the general structure of a system, or that it maps the requirements of a system onto specific design or implementation decisions. From the very beginning of any project, it is extremely important to maintain fluent communications among the various stakeholders in a software system. During the requirements analysis and subsequent reviews, the stakeholders are able to specify their most significant requirements. But, this can be an unstable basis for the project if each group of stakeholders is unsure whether its needs have been understood correctly. Average users, for instance, might not be able to understand use-case specifications in enough detail to offer feedback on them.

The system architecture is often the first project phase at which an overall picture of the requirements emerges. This overview can allow all stakeholders to discuss the system in the same terms. With the help of a good architecture, project owners can be more confident that the requirements they’ve defined are the right ones and in the right format.

Before implementing an open source ERP tool, it is essential to know its architecture. The architecture not only tells the business logic but also defines process work flow. It determines the robustness and flexibility of the tool.

Architectures of some open source ERP tools are discussed below:
