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 .
