The document discusses future directions for enterprise resource planning (ERP) software. It outlines how ERP vendors are expanding into new markets and channels by offering lower-cost versions of their software. It also describes faster implementation methodologies being developed, such as SAP's ASAP program, to reduce implementation times. The document further discusses efforts to web-enable software using Java, integrate with technologies like data warehousing and business intelligence tools, and expand into specialized industry segments.
ERP integrates business of an organization through a centralized database. The organizational data and transaction data are stored in the database. This data is a rich source of information. There are many software tools that would process the data and discover useful patterns. These techniques are referred to as data mining. The data from an ERP system may not be directly usable by data mining tools. The data may have to be pre-processed and made ready for data mining. A data warehouse is created from the ERP data that makes the data ready for data mining. An organization needs to interact with their suppliers for obtaining the raw material or semi-finished goods. They also need to interact with their retailers and dealers. These interactions may happen using EDI technology. Supply chain management (SCM) refers to managing suppliers and retailers. Customers are the reason why a business exists. The focus has changed from providing customer a product to providing a service built around the product. Customer relationship management (CRM) is the technology that helps an organization to manage its customers. CRM and SCM both integrate with ERP system and are collectively referred to as ERP-II.

ERP Implementation Challenges and Package SelectionUsman Tariq
ERP implementations have a nasty reputation for being challenging.
These challenges can lead to your ERP implementation project taking too much time and being over budget.
The result can be you being left with an underperforming solution. Or, you avoiding implementation of an ERP at all costs.
While the challenges are real, they shouldn’t stop you from implementing one.

Sap erp and oracle erp alternatives for small manufacturersMRPeasy
On many occasions, the most recognized systems with the highest market share, such as SAP ERP or Oracle ERP, are the chosen ones. But at the same time, there are many alternatives that can offer cost-effective solutions for small manufacturers.

SAP ABAP support by bob panic www.rockstarconsultinggroup.combob panic
Enterprise resource planning (ERP) is a system that integrates all of these functions into a single system, designed to serve the needs of each different department within the enterprise. ERP is more of a methodology than a piece of software, although it does incorporate several software applications, brought together under a single, integrated interface.
Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems integrate primary business applications; all the applications in an ERP suite share a common set of data that is stored in a central database. A typical ERP system provides applications for accounting and controlling, production and materials management, quality management, plant maintenance, sales and distribution, human resources, and project management.
Is ERP on Cloud the next step for your business? | Cloud ERP BenefitsVIENNA Advantage
MARKET TRANSFORMATION
In the past few years the biggest and oldest ERP providers earned a reputation for time-consuming deployments, costly maintenance, outdated user interfaces, and general inflexibility.
But as enterprise solutions market is changing through the dynamics created by new technologies and devices, ERP providers are forced to move from their rigid image to more flexible, cloud based and user friendly image.
Consumer level applications and social platforms have transformed the thinking of people towards software and business applications.
Business users and IT specialists are looking for faster deployments and less maintenance, therefore the use of cloud solutions – especially in the form of software as a service (SaaS) – has increased rapidly.
Demand for ERP on Cloud Solutions
Companies are looking for ready made platforms they can build their specific solutions on, with least effort in product development.
An InformationWeek’s 2014 State of Cloud report found that 64% of companies (all with 50 or more employees) using some form of cloud technology have at least one SaaS app in the mix.
Research firm Gartner predicted that at least 30% of service-oriented businesses will move the majority of their ERP applications to the cloud by 2018.
PwC recent analysis of ERP on Cloud adoption shows that net new license revenues for traditional ERP systems have been declining since 2013 to a level that has already been surpassed by global revenue from cloud-based SaaS solutions.
Why Cloud Computing Matters?
ERP on cloud benefits customers in multiple ways, from providing application scalability and overall business flexibility to reduction of hardware costs and implementation time.
Cloud computing technology, especially the SaaS model, made it easier for small and medium companies to acquire cloud ERP solutions and not have to manage hardware, software, and upgrades while reducing up-front expenses.
VIENNA Advantage ERP and CRM is an established player of the new age of Cloud-based ERP systems. VIENNA Advantage is already working with various partners in many countries as an Application Backbone to Cloud Solutions and differentiates itself from traditional ERP players in its approach towards its platform and features.
Benefits of VIENNA Advantage SaaS Solution
1. One Application Instance and DB used by various customers and Users
2. All customers run the same version
3. More penetrated in the market
4. New customer means new Tenant
5. Meant for Small companies only
6. No real control over upgrades
7. No or very few customizations
8. Lesser Cost than Real Cloud Solution
Benefits of VIENNA Advantage Real Cloud Solution
1. Every company has its own application and database instance
2. No force to upgrade
3. Fully Customizable
4. Meant for Enterprises and Small companies
5. Higher cost compared to SaaS
6. Meant for scalable enterprise Applications
2. New Market
Supplementing direct sales with reseller channels.
Software offerings to appeal on the basis of reduced
functionality.
Improving the implementation methodology for faster
development.
Removing the entry price to make it financially viable.
Using the platforms such as MS Windows NT.
New Channels:
As all the vendors being forced to market their
product in the world of small business, they made their
software products more affordable by lowering the
prices for each module and by ramping up the total
costs by basing price on user licenses.
Example:
Oracle offerings the lower price software from
companies such as platinum software and great plains
software.
JD Edward provides less expensive versions of the One
World suit.
3. Faster Implementation Methodologies:
As to implement the whole business it has to go
through reengineering process.
This may cause a complete change in the business
model working previously and thus also find it
difficult to implement.
Some times only 10-15% of the implementation
takes years to complete and by that time
implementation cost may increase.
To make the implementation of packages more
convenient the ERP vendors are searching for
faster implementation methodologies e.g.
Accelerated SAP (ASAP) is a program introduced
by SAP.
This program takes the knowledge gained from
R/3 implementations and consolidates this
expertise in a product called the Business
engineer.
This helps to configure the SAP modules to confirm
to the processing style of same 100 business
operating scenarios.
4. This methodology reduces SAP implementation time
to less than six months in many cases.
Oracle also introduced a faster implementation
methodology called fast-forward.
This program speed up implementation of Oracle
application suites and nail down the costs up front.
As there is dearth of skilled consultants, ERP
systems implementation often become a difficult
task.
To achieve system implementations the ERP
vendors also provide the consulting services with
highly skilled consulting teams and charged with
delivering fully trained experienced consultant on a
worldwide basis
Example, Oracle’s OracleOne or SAP’s Platinum
Consulting Services with highly skilled consulting
teams providing their services along with new
channel partners and implementation
methodologies.
5. Business Models and BAPIs:
To review and simulate changes to a business model,
implementation team needs special type of business model
tools.
The product such as Intel Corp Inc’s live model provides
the views of R/3 process, data models and functions.
Live model is OLE complaint; the R/3 model can be
manipulated and documented through OLE application
such as Microsoft World.
Business Application Programming Interfaces(BAPI) are
sets of methods that allow the external application to
collaborate with R/3 business objects such as accounts,
employees or customers.
With the help of this collaborate method, BAPIs gives the
third party application vendors a lot of flexibility to build
supporting applications for R/3 system.
Similarly, Baan offers Orgware, business modeling tool
which combine with business specific templates that help
to automatically configure the software to suit specific
operational needs.
To accelerate software implementation on the Windows NT
platform, Baan is in the process of enhancing Orgware with
new setup wizards.
6. New Business Segments:
After establishing in business /enterprise environment,
ERP vendors are trying to deliver specialized variants of
their products to the business segments such as
government, health care, retail environments and
financial services.
Some vendors are offering their services in more
specialized areas such as demand forecasting of sales
automation and marketing and supply chain
management e.g. PeopleSoft bought Red Pepper
Software to improve its supply chain application, Baan
bought Aurum Software for its Aurum Customer
Enterprise suit of CRM tools and also teamed up with
Hyperion Solution to strengthen its financial accounting,
budgeting and reporting solutions to Baan’s distribution
and manufacturing modules.
7. More Features:
ERP vendors are also focusing on providing
improved decision support applications. ERP
vendors teamed up with various software
providers e.g. JD Edwards teamed up with
Information Builders Inc to deliver a data mart
i.e. Smart Mart Suit with data base access, data
transformation, reporting and OLAP Tools. Baan
linking its application software to the Gentia
Software Inc’s products to provide OLAP
capabilities and for the setup and monitoring of
key performance indicators.
Oracle offers a data mart designer and builder
tool for creating a data marts as well as offers
Oracle Discoverer, an enduser tool for reporting,
charting and querying data from Oracles
Application suite.
8. PeopleSoft is going to include closer
integration between PeopleSoft applications
and both the client based Congos Corp.
Power Play multidimensional OLAP tools and
Arbor Software Corp’s multidimensional
Essbase Server. SAP is not behind in this
race. It has previewed its own Business
Information Warehouse product for
synchronizing the R/3 system with data
warehouse that can manage both R/3 and
non R/3 data through the use of a metadata
repository and CLAP engine.
9. WEB ENABLING:
To deliver the self-services and e-commerce
capabilities, ERP vendors are being forced to move
from client/server to browser/server architecture to
web-enable their software.
Vendors deliver java based application for web
enabling software
Example, Baan is working to deliver a java based
web interface to all its products and also focusing on
the automation of supply chain relationship via
internet, on e-commerce via Microsoft merchant
server (Site Server) and on using Hyperion Software
Corp.’s Spider-Man technology for report and alert
distribution across the web.
PeopleSoft delivers java based self service applets
with its version PeopleSoft-7, J.D. Edward is using
java to its One
10. World to be available either through a Windows client
or a web browser.
Oracle has used java to deliver its web employee
customers and suppliers module.
In 1997, SAP released 25 web applications for its
version 3.1 of the R/3 and also previewed links to
online catalogs for web based procurement.
For their first generation of web enabled application,
ERP vendors are all using java rather than Microsoft’s
Actives.
ERP vendors deliver their universal application on
Java based web interface.
This makes them to move away from proprietary
technologies to more open tools.
E.g. SAP solutions and PeopleSoft offers tools for
customerising their products ABAPG and People Tools.
11. These tools are proprietary and make the
implementation expensive, whereas many lower-tier
software vendors invites their application from ends
using the commercial tools like Power Builder, VB, or
Microsoft Access ERP vendors are not using these
options, thus the customers have to pay a premium
for ABAG and PeopleTools.
Oracle is also a tool vendor and uses Oracle Forms,
Developer 2000 and Designer 2000 to develop its
Oracle Application.
The emerging trends in the enterprise packaged
applications are its integration with latest cutting-
edge technology like sales force automaton (SFA),
customer relationship management (CRAM).
As the internet based services like e-commerce are
available, the new applications get diverted from
Back-office and Front-office functioned items.
