This document discusses vendors, consultants, and users in the context of ERP implementation. It notes that developing an ERP system is complex and not the core business of most companies. Vendors develop specialized ERP packages and provide support during implementation through training and customization. Consultants have extensive implementation experience and ensure projects are completed successfully without mistakes through trial and error. They administer all phases of implementation. End-users will utilize the new ERP system in their jobs, but may fear changes to their roles and responsibilities.

Feedback about ERP implementation project. Questions answered:
Did Cisco spend enough time to configure the ERP system? Did the compressed configuration phase negatively impact the quality of the system?
Should they have customized the package to match business processes?
Was Cisco smart or lucky with its ERP implementation?
What can top managers do to maximize chances for success here?
Post Implementation Audit would help organization to evaluate whether project objectives were met, to determine how effectively the project was run, to learn lessons for the future, and to ensure that it realize maximum possible benefit from the project. PIA would assist organization to effect needed changes in organizational plans & processes and realize potential operational & strategic benefits. In ERP re-implementation projects, PIA's critical role is to redefine the ERP project scope, promote learning & system acceptance through user training & stakeholder commitment to the project.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Introduction
Why Companies cannot developed their ERP
package?
Developing ERP is very complex.
Developing ERP is not their business…
They should be focus on improving their product
and service to live in competition.
Ands also to serve their customer better.
Software firm/vendors can provide better
sophisticated package then companies.

In-House Implementation-
PROS and CONS (1)
Question asked: Why cant company implement their own ERP
Package?????
Cannot go for trial–and–error coz of huge
amount of investment.
Consequences of failed ERP Implementation:

Can put organization out of business
Implementation cannot go for long time, shld be
finished in reasonable period of time

Developing a good s/w n implementing s/w is
entirely 2 different proposition.
Each group of people have their definite role in
implementation.

In-House Implementation-
PROS and CONS (5)
In-house implementation is expensive
Might require to hire experts and have them on
company‟s roll.
After implementation these people are not
needed only few ppl are in use that will handle
post-implementation phase.
In-house implements means wasting lots of
resource
Sonali ERP-Alexis Leon 7

In-House Implementation-
PROS and CONS (6)
Hence ,its better to implement to specialist
Employees must be trained during
implementation, saving lots of money otherwise

PROS and CONS (7)
In summary,
Better for company to concentrate on business
and leave ERP implementation to the people
who handles this.
For good benefit company people should
participate during implementation
And proper role should be given to the people

4. Vendors
“Vendors are the people who has developed ERP
package”
Invested huge amount of time and efforts in
research and development to create packaged
solution.
ERP package grew out of experience or
opportunities of group of people working for
company in particular segment.
Vendors have to constantly upgrade their
product
Sonali ERP-Alexis Leon 10
§ Role of VENDORS (1)
Vendor should supply product and its
documentation as soon as company has signed
contract.
Later company can organized training and testing
for implementation team
Vendor is a like a LINK.
Responsible for fixing any problem.
Constantly interact with implementation team
Sonali ERP-Alexis Leon 11
Cont…
§ Role of VENDORS (2)
Another role is of trainer-
Provide initial training to the key users of the
company
who will play lead role in implementation
Key users along with consultant will define how
s/w is to sever the company
Key users should be given thorough training.
Sonali ERP-Alexis Leon 12

5. Cont…
§ Role of VENDORS (3)
Vendors training provides to key users:
How package works, what are the major components,
how data and information flows across system, what
shld be configured, what are the limitation, strength,
weakness so on..
Objective if vendors is to show how s/w works
not how to implement s/w
Sonali ERP-Alexis Leon 13
Cont…
§ Role of VENDORS (4)
Consultant also plays a role in vendor
He ask question that are avoided by vendors n
users are unaware of.
If implementation fails blame will be on vendors
so he participate in all the phase of
implementation.
He understand all the fine details regarding
project.
Sonali ERP-Alexis Leon 14
Cont…
§ Role of VENDORS (5)
They are also like a “GAP” between package and
actual business processing.
s/w has to be customized.
It is job of vendors to customize s/w according
to company.
Company shld get guarantee after customization
that s/w shld fulfill all the requirements to
achieve goal from vendor.

Consultants
And make it a point that implementation does
not fails
Therefore, these people are who implements
ERP package and invest huge amount of money
