3. I. ERP Definition
• ERP is software that standardizes, streamlines and
integrates business processes across finance, human
resources, procurement, distribution, and other
departments.
• Typically, ERP systems operate on an integrated
software platform using common data definitions
operating on a single database.

Enterprise-wide integration
• Business processes are integrated end to end across
departments and business units.
Real time (or near real time) operations
• Appears to other departments upon input.
A common database
• It allowed data to be defined once for the enterprise
with every department using the same definition.
Consistent look and feel
• User interface is consistent even after upgrade or
releasing of new version.
4. II. Types of ERP Systems

TIER II
TIER III

• Most complex – several people working on a single function.
• Support large, global enterprises and handle all
internationalization issues, including currency, language, alphabet,
postal code, accounting rules, etc.
• Focuses on a specific functionality; document
management, warehouse management, etc.
• Simplest type of ERP that is easy to implement,
affordable but not as flexible as Tier I & Tier II.

requirement of mid-sized enterprises.

Slide 2
14. VIII. Hidden Cost of ERP
Business Process Change
o Decrease in productivity due to unfamiliarity to the system in the first few period
Organization Change Management
o Uncertainty of staffs to accept changes
Data Migration
o Time consuming due to overlapping data base and weak editing rules
Custom Code
o ERP user takes a lot of burden whenever there’s new release/upgrade of product
such as increase of implementation cost due to additional features

Slide 2
15. IX. Reasons for Failure
Inappropriate Package Selection
o Proper selection of ERP System to be used plays the most important factor for it to
become successful. Tier I ERP may considered be the “best” but may experience
implementation delay by feature overload if the enterprise is not complex enough.
Internal Resistance
o Critics from staff using the ERP System may experience if the Support Team doesn’t
render appropriate assistance when needed. Furthermore, strict implementation is
needed if the site is ERP-ready as it serves as familiarity for the system.
