Why ERP?
What are the Problems of Legacy Applications? What are some of the problems of Businesses that are not on ERP?
SAP ERP
Automates existing processes Normally not driven by organization strategy and business vision. Develop one application at a time. No integration between applications just transaction passing. Decentralized applications. Are relatively inflexible to accommodate changes in the business environment. Written in language / platform prevalent at the time of development. Up gradation to latest technology is difficult Usually not well documented. Maintenance is a problem largely because of poor documentation and staff attrition.

What is a Business Process? Why Integrated Systems needs to understand the concept of a Business Process.
SAP ERP
Business Processes
A business process is a collection of activities that takes one or more inputs and creates an output that is of value to the customer The customer may be the traditional external customer who buys the product or service, or an internal customer (a colleague in another department) The business process view is the customers perspective. The customer does not care that different functions are involved in processing their order, and will not tolerate mistakes and delays caused by poor coordination of business functions

Why ERP?
Increasing the efficiency of information systems can result in more efficient business processes, making a company more competitive Integrating information systems across functional areas is a relatively recent phenomenon Lack of integration can lead to costly inefficiencies Errors from keying in the same data more than once Lack of timely data due to periodic updating between systems Problems with data being defined differently in different systems
SAP ERP
Why ERP?
ERP systems can integrate a companys operations by providing a company-wide computing environment that: Includes a single database shared by all functions Can deliver consistent data to all business functions in real-time ERP systems can dramatically reduce costs and increase operational efficiency With ERP, IBM Storage Systems division Re-prices inventory in 5 minutes instead of 5 days Ships a replacement part in 3 days instead of 22 Checks customer credit in 3 seconds instead of 20 minutes

SAP ERP
Step 1 : Brazilian retailer orders, via the Internet, 1,000 shoes from International Shoe Co. A sales rep takes the order, routes it to SAPs ordering module, SAP checks the retailer credit, price, etc. The order is approved. Step 2 : Simultaneously SAPs inventory module checks the stocks and notifies the rep that half the order can be filled immediately from stock. The other half will be manufactured and delivered in 5 days directly from the factory in Taiwan.
SAP ERP
Step 3 : SAPs manufacturing module schedules the production in Taiwan and instructs the warehouse (in China) to ship the shoes to Brazil and print up an invoice (in Portuguese). Step 4 : SAPs human resources module calculates labor requirements. Due to a shortage, the personnel manager in Taiwan is instructed to get temporary workers. Step 5 : SAPs material planning module notifies the purchasing manager about a shortage of purple dye. A purchase order is automatically issued.
SAP ERP
Step 6 : The customer logs on via the extranet to the companys sneakers division. He can see that 500 shoes were shipped from the regional warehouse. This is done with SAP tracing capabilities. Step 7 : Based on data from SAPs forecasting and financial modules, the CEO can determine both demand and profitability per product. The financial module also converts all foreign money to $U.S., whenever needed
