Difference between Cloud ERP and SaaS

2012-01-16T03:04:00.001-08:00

A Cloud ERP system means traditional ERP solutions hosted off-site. It is also flexible and scalable. The system has the capability to access real-time data from anywhere without using complicated and costly remote-access software.

On the other hand SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) model offerings are typically smaller. This is normally best for organizations with limited complexity, size and global presence. ERP system providers host SaaS model on their own infrastructures instead of locating the systems on-premise at the purchasing organization.

In SaaS model, the vendor will have the full control of the application and not the customer wheere as in Cloud ERP system your data and your application can be placed on server that you control. Both these models provide instant gratification, taking mere minutes to be up and running.

2012-01-11T22:58:00.000-08:00

Investing in an ERP System must be taken with some serious thoughts. Once implemented the system must serve the company for years to come. It must also reflect how you do business today yet evolve through subsequent business practice changes.

Business flexibility and control implement eresource ERP

2012-01-11T22:55:00.000-08:00

Which is the perfect ERP system for you? This must be first question asked yourself before you select an ERP system for your company. From conventional ERP to Web-based system and Cloud ERP as there are many variant available in the ERP market, selecting the right ERP for you is very important.

Selection of right ERP system for your company depends on a number of criteria. This includes functionality of potential ERP systems relative to your business requirements, cost-factor and your organization's need. It is also important to consider whether you would like to go for a short-term vs. longer-term costs. Ultimately this decision could be further narrowed down to two main variables: complexity and control.

Large companies with huge number of employees need to control their IT infrastructures because they view business technology as a competitive advantage. These companies are more likely to find that traditional on-premise ERP systems to meet their business needs. With their larger background these types of systems can provide the flexibility and control that these organizations are demanding.

On the other hand, most of the small and mid-sized companies consider the ERP function as a tool to excel in their day-to-day business process. They don't mind outsourcing by getting the facility from outside their compound wall. For these types of companies, Software as a Service or the Cloud ERP solutions often makes more sense.

Global presence of each company also varies depending on their strength and operations also their supply chain sophistication, diversified products, and customer interfaces that provide competitive advantages over their competitors. Companies with higher levels of complexity and sophistication can consider either on premise or hosted off-site (in the cloud).

It is also a fact that almost every midmarket ERP suite shares several common modules, the differences among solutions tend to be quite granular within these modules. Also, even if different packages offer the same feature - say, sales-order management - it might not be bundled in the same module; some vendors include sales-order management in their CRM suites while others package it in their SCM suites.

What is the taken in to account when evaluating an effective ERP system is that key to an ERP package is tight integration between modules, so that all of the core business modules are related.

As every company is different and has different business needs, so it is important to understand which types of ERP systems will work best in your situation. For more information and comprehensive evaluation of each variant, please write to us or call us today.

Bill of Materials (BoM)

2011-12-28T22:38:00.001-08:00

View to your product structure tree

Bills of Materials (BOM) are normally accessed according to production or procurement deadlines. The History Management function allows several types of BOM to be managed simultaneously, and can be operated according to the needs of the customer.

Single Level Bills of materials and Multi Level Bills of Material can be generated in eresource ERP. For each manufactured line item on a WO, the system provides a bill of materials (BOM) and routing. In the single Level bill of materials only those subordinate components can be captured that are immediately required to manufacture the product.

The multiple BOM concept aids the management of a variety of similar BOMs (variant problem). Common components of similar BOMs are recorded in a 'Reference BOM-M' while components specific to individual BOMs are recorded in a separate 'Single Level BOM-M'. In this way, the BOM of a given material consists of a combination of data referring to common and individual components.

The advantage of this function is that changes of (data regarding) common components need only be carried out in the Reference BOM-M.

The data of BOMs is automatically shown against the work orders providing the ability to include configured items on a WO's BOM.

This gives the stores department to check if the stock of materials is available for a product manufacturing or batch manufacturing. Once the individual customer order is entered, it specifies how much components are required, the quantity including wastage and at what level of production the components will be required.

eresource ERP Bills of Materials are completely integrated into the system and support:

The procurement of materials at the optimum time (Material Requirement Planning module)
The placing of production orders (Production Planning and Control Module)
The issue of goods (Inventory Management Module)

Warehouse Management

2011-12-27T02:13:00.000-08:00

Manufacturers who make a substantial number of shipments from a distribution facility have likely considered bringing a degree of automation to its warehouse and shipping functions.

For some companies, a full-blown Warehouse Management System (WMS) is a necessity, particularly if their operation relies on an automated racking system, perhaps housed in a rack-mounted structure with its own track-mounted materials-handling system.

However, for the vast majority of manufacturers - even those that complete a large number of shipments every day - a WMS that is separate and distinct from their other business systems will be counterproductive.

Flexibility and adaptability

You may have the hottest product ready to hit market. You may have the best marketing campaign ever conceived. You may have phones ringing off the hook with interested prospects. You may have all this and more. But the simple fact remains that, if you cannot locate, pick, pack, and ship material and products that's in your warehouse, these great feats go for naught. A significant under pining of any successful company is an agile, proactive, and responsive Warehouse Management System (WMS).

An effective WMS can reduce human errors by preventing product from being putaway in the wrong location, picking the wrong product, or picking the correct product but in the wrong quantity. Additionally, such a system can increase the productivity of the warehouse by reducing traveling time, maximizing the use of available space, and suggesting moves for better space utilization.

MRP software and MRP module of ERP

2011-12-19T03:30:00.001-08:00

Material Requirement Planning, popularly known as MRP, was developed during 1960s. This was a proactive manner of inventory management. This technique fundamentally explodes the end product demand obtained from the 'Master Production Schedule' (MPS) for a specified product structure (which is taken from Bill of Material) into a detailed schedule of purchase order or production orders, taking into account the inventory on hand.

MRP is a simple logic but the magnitude of data involved in a realistic situation makes it computationally cumbersome. If undertaken manually, the entire process is highly time consuming. It therefore becomes essential to use a computer to carry out the exercise.

MRP successfully demonstrated its effectiveness in reduction of inventory; production and delivery lead times by improving coordination and avoiding delays, thus making commitment more realistic. MRP proved to be a very good technique for managing inventory, but it did not take into account of other resources of an organization. Due to this shortcoming a modified MRP logic, popularly known as 'closed loop MRP' has been developed. A new module called Capacity Requirement Planning (CRP) has been incorporated in this. This module manages the capacity of the organization to produce a particular product. A feedback loop is provided from the CRP module to MPS if there is not enough capacity available to produce.

Later the need was felt to integrate the financial resource with the manufacturing activities. From this evolved an integrated manufacturing management system called Manufacturing Resources Planning (MRP II).

Transition from MRP II to ERP happened some time later because the basic MRP II system design was suffering from a few inherent drawbacks such as limited focus to manufacturing activities, assumption of the mass or repetitive production set ups, and poor budgetary and costing controls.

The shortcomings o MRP-II and the need to integrate these new techniques, led to the development of a total integrated solution called Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), which attempts to integrate the transactions of suppliers and customers with the manufacturing and service environment of the organization to produce the best possible plan. Today there are further development in the ERP concept and evolution of Web-enabled ERP.

Manufacturing Resource Planning - MRP II

2011-12-19T03:29:00.003-08:00

MRP II or Manufacturing Resource Planning by itself is the original modality of what we know now as ERP, and covered materials planning. This is part of eresource's ERP solution.

MRP II is one of the evolution stages of eresource ERP and covers all the resources in a manufacturing company, with the additional ability to manage "what if" situations.

MRP II module in eresource ERP helps to maintain a neat agenda for the manner in which the resources are to be allocated without any confusion.

The interacting functions considered for this model are: Commercial Planning, Sales, Master Production Scheduling, Materials Resource Planning (MRP) and support systems for Capacity and Materials Execution.

There is a scheduling capability within the heart of the solution that concentrates on the resources, such as the plant and equipment required to convert the raw materials into finished goods. The advantages of this development are that detailed plans can be put to the shop floor and can be reported on by operation, which offers much tighter control over the plant.

ERP Software Companies

2011-12-19T03:26:00.000-08:00

During the olden days, a large number of people who were connected with the ERP sector such as analysts, programmers and users did the implementation of ERP systems in a single firm. Now, as we all know, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) relies on very large and complex software, the main reason being its extensive function within the organization.

However, due to the advent of the internet, consultants are now able to connect to company computers for any basic installation such as those of standard updates.

Nowadays, a trend catching up is that of web-based ERP systems. These ERP systems can be downloaded easily through web browsers. The major advantage of these web-based ERP's is that they traverse multiple platforms and can be maintained from one centralized location. There is no requirement for a client installation to deploy them.

If we go by today's standards, customization is the buzzword for every ERP system implementation. The main reason for this the generic nature of the ERP packages as far as their reports and examinations are concerned. As the ERP System may pr may not be customized according to the needs of the customer, it can be said that it is the customization that makes the ERP a super success or an abject failure.

In the olden days, the main problem in customizing and implementing an ERP was that there were no ERP Software companies which were concerned with this line of work. This is however not the case anymore. There are a whole number of ERP Software companies that have sprung up in recent times, which are exclusively focused in the ERP domain. Some of the most reputed ERP Software companies are SAP, Oracle, BAAN, etc. However, these companies were more into Windows-based installation rather than Web-Base installation. One of the major players in the web-based ERP Software Company market is the Mumbai-based eresource ERP.

These ERP Software companies basically send experts over to study the system, the business processes, etc. and give suggestions as to how the existing system can be tailored to suit an ERP installation. It is not required that the entire ERP system belonging to the ERP Software Company be installed at the client location. Just the basic modification of the existing ERP system at the client location by the ERP Software Company is sufficient.

It is the responsibility of the ERP Software Company to send people over to the client so as to train their existing personnel in the workings of the newly installed ERP system. Thus, the education, subsequent training, and any sort of troubleshooting of the newly installed ERP system, is concerned is borne by the ERP software company. This is a very important factor as far as operating and ERP system is concerned.

What is an ERP software license means

2011-12-05T04:26:00.000-08:00

An software can be termed as consumer software and this enterprise applicathttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifion software is typically not bought and sold instead it is licensed for use. It may be licensed to be used by a company, on a particular computer or by other criteria such as number of users. Buying it once doesn't mean you can duplicate it and share it with all your friends, or even sometimes use it on all your own computers. For enterprise application software how you pay for that license and the term of the license can vary.

Today, a software license can be perpetual. This means you pay for it once and can use the enterprise application forever. Even in this case more often a perpetual license agreement might have a stipulation that you have the right to use that software only for as long as you continue to pay maintenance to the software vendor that provides the product.

A maintenance agreement, which is a recurring cost, typically provides both technical support and certain innovations. Some of those innovations will bhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gife included in your maintenance fee and others may still need to be purchased. Maintenance is typically priced as a percentage of the software license.

But perpetual licenses are not the only type offered. Instead your license might be for a specific period of time. This is generally referred to as a "term" license. At the end of the term, you must either renew the license or discontinue use of the software.

Browser based ERP system suits today's business process

2011-11-29T22:05:00.000-08:00

You may ask - what makes eresource ERP different from other software available in the market? The first and foremost reason being that eresource is an Indian http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifbrowser based ERP software developed exclusively for the Indian market, especially the Small and Medium scale Enterprises. http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif

Looking at the contribution made by the SMEs in the Indian manufacturing industry, eresource felt it is necessary to provide them with a suitable business application that will ease their operational methods and bring growth to the industry. A browser based ERP solution will be an ideal solution to suit their needs and budget as eresource ERP needs a limit financial investment.

There was a time when implementation of solution was a long lost dream for many of the SMEs in India. They never imaged implementation of ERP could be within their reach in near future. But introduction of an affordable low-cost browser based ERP by eresource was a dream comes true for the Indian SMEs. The reason why we have come out with this kind of a solution is that if Indian SMEs could perform tremendously with the limited resources they have, they can also bring miracles in the indushttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.giftry

We were sure that the implementation web-based browser supported eresource ERP will definitely change the way they work and also it can make the impact on their production sector, in both quality and quantity wise.

Another matter of success with browser based eresource ERP is its quick implementation. Unlike other systems, browser based eresource ERP system could be brought into action within a limit time as its implementation process takes a minimum time. When the conditions are approved by an organization the system http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifcould be deployed to its operational level within 90 days of time. That is a record time period when considering other ERP systems implementation process.

Over and above, eresource Infotech serves all our ERP customers directly, unlike some vendors who have a strategy to serve the large client directly whilst, directing SMEs to their re-sellers or consultants. Though our client list too include many large enterprises, when it comes to business we are impartial. That's our policy practice, indeed.

ERP solution

2011-11-29T22:03:00.000-08:00

One misconception prevalent before researching enterprise software was that an ERhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifa>P project was simply an IT project and that it was all about installing and testing software.

Only when an solution aligns with an organization's business strategies and business processes will it improve the enterprise's actual performance.

Business Processes with ERP Solution "Different companies can buy the same ERP system but have dramatically different results because of the various ways of utilizing the ERP software application. Companies use different strategies to accommodate their business processes for their solution implementation.

A lot of companies have very little or no focus on business processes, which means that their ERP projects are treated more like IT project. This is the worst strategy a company could adopt. Companies like these lack clear business objectives, anhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifd the efforts on ERP solution selection and implementations usually go waste.

Some other companies changed business processes to accommodate ERP functionality. Consultants usually suggest reengineering business processes prior to or concurrent with the ERP solution implementation and allowing a change agent to manage the numerous changes and ease the transition to the new processes.

A smaller percentage of companies changed their business processes independent of ERP, then selected or configured software to align with new processes." To utilize this strategy, companies usually rely on the assistance of consultants, as they need to select the best software fit, as well as define the most favorable business processes for the organization.

Other companies "changed or customized their ERP solution functionality to accommodate current business processes," which to most consultants is a surprising figure. It is not typical for a company to totally change or customize ERP software solution to fit their current processes, as it requires a tremendous amount of work to customize the ERP system while also accurately defining current processes. http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif

This is most likely due to responses from companies which had not yet started their ERP implementation and expected to maintain the lowest level of change to their current business processes. However, what they really should do is not to be afraid of change but to take advantage of the Solution' inherent best practices to improve their business processes.

In a nutshell, an ERP Solution is just a tool. Learning how to use the tool to effectively leverage operational success within the organization is the key to a successful ERP project

Emergence of eresource ERP software a boon for many industries

2011-11-29T22:00:00.000-08:00

Initially, during its launch period, eresource ERP was mainly associated with manufacturing sector and all its developments were focused on in this industry. Majority of the manufacturing segments have relied on eresource for their logistic, supply chain and ware house ERP solution. eresource ERP has made its stamp on this sector and till today we have succeeded in keeping our superiority in this sector. The benefits received by the sector stood a testimony to the above statement.

In the later stage, we have started realizing that there are other industry sectors, which are getting deprived of the benefits of an effective ERP solution. This was due to unavailability of an affordable ERP system to match their needs or lack of an ERP system which could offer a suitable solution to their industry standard. eresource ERP overcame this limitation and offered a solution suited for all industries and sectors. Another encouraging fact is that the solutions offered equal benefits to the other sectors as well.

ERP was a complex application when it comes to the question of handling functions. Many of the ERP packages available in the market were more prone to serving individual functions. Even though some of them served multiple functions they did not always cater to different functions from different category. But it was not the case with eresource ERP. It could not only integrate different functions from different departments but also different function from different industries.

There was time when an ERP solution was an exclusive internal solution of an organization and many people in the organization were not aware of the existence of a technology under their nose or they have lacked the information about functioning. With the advent of Web-based eresource ERP everyone in this organization started realizing the functionalities of an ERP solution also its benefits.

Though there was awareness that ERP system was a web friendly application the advantage has not been fully explored, until eresource made its entry. However other ERP solutions had its own reservations in using internet abundantly. eresource ERP worked on them and hence became totally a web friendly application.

Lively ERP system must for business success

2011-11-23T03:39:00.001-08:00

Be wise in your thinking and also in your actions

In the earlier days client-server method was the standard way of functioning in the computing world. Therefore it was natural that ERP applications running on desktop PCs stored their transactions on database servers running in the background.

This kind of an ERP system had many drawbacks and the primary issue with this type of an ERP system was the cost factor involved in it. Not only the cost factor but also the lack of customisation facility and absence of integration made this application not an ideal solution for a growing industrial set up. With this application, when you wanted to have an extra functionality, you either waited for the software vendor to decide it was a profitable feature, or you hired a specialist developer to embark on a long and costly process to build it for you. Connecting to other systems - like remote branches - was a distance dream and if it all it was executed it would make a big hole in your pocket. .

With the advent of Web technologies the method used in computing world in general and the ERP space in general witnessed a drastic and rapid change. With the browser-based ERP applications like resource ERP systems are cost-effective, readily customisable, easily integrated, and provide companies with the opportunity to offload their IT overhead to third-party providers.

Though lot of companies implemented web-based ERP system to run their business, there are many others companies that haven't taken advantage of these benefits - opting rather to continue hoarding IT hardware and software assets that threaten to become obsolete soon after they're installed. The reason for this trend is mostly tradition. Companies feel the need to retain their data on their premises "because that's the way it's always been done". In reality, it was done that way in the past because the technology didn't exist to do it better. Now it does - giving companies the chance to continually cut costs and improve performance.

There are questions raised that why the companies must upgrade their existing legacy system to a more advanced and user-friendly web-based ERP system?. The reason for their concern is the system they are working currently is giving them a comfortable working method though actually the system functions are mostly outdated. What these organizations are scared is changing to a modern technology will affect their working method which they are comfortably accommodated into. Coming out of that comfortably may be the prime reason why they are shying away from implementing a modern system. The most disappointing factor is their attitude won't do any good for the organization in the long run.

When an advanced web-based eresource ERP system is implemented, you could log in to the application through your browser from anywhere with an Internet connect and start working like from your office room.

With this application you could communicate with all the users in your network which puts you available to anyone who like to have your assistance anytime from anywhere. Being online from anywhere anytime can also solve all your problems in one go and can carry out all operations without any delay.

Be wise in your thinking and also in your actions. Place you before your competitors. There is no way other than going with the latest. Be smart in your business and implement eresource ERP today.

Implement eresource ERP in 90 days

2011-11-16T02:22:00.000-08:00

Over the years the SMEs in India have witnessed a drastic change in their style of functioning. This was due to the emergence of powerful ERP tool like resource. eresource ERP system has emerged as the core of successful information managemenhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gift and the enterprise backbone of organizations.

Though difficulties of implementations have been widely cited in some write ups appeared periodically, eresource has found its own way to implement the system http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifsuccessfully within a limited time period. With our on-time guaranteed implementation program, eresource carry out most of its implementation successfully in SME segment within 90 days. This is a commendable service appreciated by all our customers who are fully satisfied with our system.
http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif
When it comes to implementation, what is to be remembered is there are certain factors that were found to be critical to implementation success. These are ERP teamwork and composition; change management program and culture; top management support; business plan and vision; business process reengineering with minimum customization; project management; monitoring and evaluation of performance; effective communication; software development, testing and troubleshooting; project champion; appropriate business and IT legacy systems.

Customer satisfaction is our prime concern. Satisfaction could be attributed by fulfillment of one simple expectation that the company is using only one ERP system for all the transactions happening day in and day out. This system must typically include proper planning of salaries of employees, taxes, cash purchases, maintenances of machines, annual maintenance contract along with complete manufacturing planning, sales planning, engineering and design planning, and so on,

Apart from the special care taken during the implementation process, our methodological training also holds key to the success of eresource ERP system in whole. Our training session includes information sharing in power point presehttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifntation about the brand details, its flexibilities, strength and successful installation apart from the core practical session which is a user-based special training method.

What is not to be forgotten is that many brands are not providing adequate training to the user which ultimately results in improper functioning of the system. We have realized that training is equally important as the system implementation itself and full attention is given to training of the users of the ERP system.

For the successful functioning of an ERP system, the users need to have the skill for using the functionality relevant to their roles. They should understand the basic concepts of ERP and also how to perform the day-to-day activities in the ERP system. Not only the users but others who are directly or indirectly connected to the functioning of an organization also need to know what is an ERP is and its http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.giffunctionalities. This includes managers, who should have at least an appreciation of what the system does. Ideally, the project manager should have a good understanding o fall aspects of the system so that he can be effective in dealing with any issues raised.

eresource training session provides a good foundation for all these requirements. What must be realize is for a successful running of an ERP system a select number of people will require more specific technical training which is covered at our training program.

We also train the system administrators how to setup the system and maintain it. They will require knowledge about how to handle system security and deal with technical problems. They will need to develop a level of understanding of the functionality so that, at some stage after implementation when the project teamhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif is disbanded, they are able to manage the system smoothly.

eresource is here to make your business success. We always go an extra mile to ensure that you get the full benefit our system. When you sign an agreement with us for implementing an ERP system in your organization, we make it sure that success on your way. We don't just implement an ERP system in your organization in 90 days but we make it sure that your staff is well trained to handle the system effectively and successfully.

What is lead time and how the inventory management is maintained

2011-11-03T00:26:00.001-07:00

Lead time is the time that elapses between the placing of an order (either a purchase order or a production order issued to the shop or the factory floor) and actually receiving the goods ordered.

If a supplier (an external firm or an internal department or plant) cannot supply the required goods on demand, then the client firm must keep an inventory of the needed goods. The longer the lead time, the larger the quantity of goods the firm must carry in inventory.

A just-in-time (JIT) manufacturing firm, such as some automobile manufacturing fims, can maintain extremely low levels of inventory. Some of these companies take delivery of some goods as many as 18 times per day. However, steel mills may have a lead time of up to three months. That means that a firm that uses steel produced at the mill must place orders at least three months in advance of their need. In order to keep their operations running in the meantime an on-hand inventory of three months' steel requirements would be necessary.

Inventory and Material Management

Inventory Management Module in eresource ERP provides a powerful and flexible set of features to help you manage and report your inventory information. eresource Inventory Management facilitates processes of maintaining the appropriate level of stock in a warehouse. The activities of inventory control involves in identifying inventory requirements, setting targets, providing replenishment techniques and options, monitoring item usages, reconciling the inventory balances, and reporting inventory status.

Suitably optimized ERP for Small and Medium sized organizations

2011-11-02T03:03:00.000-07:00

It is not a secret that with advent of eresource in the ERP market, there is a tremendous change in the way organizations used to operate. It was believed that ERP was meant only for the big organizations. That is because almost all the leading ERP system available in the market were mainly developed their application to suit these big organizations.

eresource has realized that majority of the organizations in the manufacturing sector were small and medium categories and their operations are managed with average 100 or less than employees. This has inspired us to develop an ERP application that will suit and benefit this majority category. Gradually, realizing the benefit of our ERP solution, many of these smaller manufacturers have started adopting eresource ERP which is suitably optimized for smaller operations.

Web-based resource ERP is becoming a driving force in the manufacturing sector. There is no doubt our system is getting smarter with very implementations. Computer power that was once reserved for network servers is now embedded in shop floor equipment. This is not the only advantage. Advanced ERP system like eresource application allows users of ERP system to work anywhere anytime.

Web-based eresource ERP also has unique way of functionality with its dynamic modeling. Advanced ERP systems like eresource ERP consider order lead times and may even have a list of substitute parts and alternate suppliers but the actual heuristics used to determine quantities and order times do not change.

eresource ERP has been incorporated with all the modules that are required for the functioning of a manufacturing division with the latest functionalities.

It is also important that small and medium sized manufacturing organizations must consider using the web-based ERP solution instead of outdated legacy systems or other traditional ERP system. While selecting an ERP, the manager must make decisions based not only on vendors supply and customer's demand, but on vendor's projections and customers' expectations.

Small and medium-sized businesses are the major beneficiaries of ERP system and they are the main force that pushed the ERP growth in India. Inflexibility of earlier ERP systems from SAP, Oracle and PeopleSoft pushed the customization drive. Customers are moving from best-of-breed to a best-for-business approach, implying that they prefer extensions to their existing ERP for applications like planning and optimization, business intelligence and knowledge management. This has resulted in emergence of eresource ERP, an effective web-based ERP package.

The requirements of each company differ in terms of standard industry practices and unique practices. eresource ERP system caters to every need of an organization. The system is integrated with componentized solutions with standard modules and specific functionality to address the unique process.

Planning ERP implementation Here are some few tips

2011-10-29T02:56:00.000-07:00

THE time is an important factor as far as an ERP implementation is concerned. Companies should also be equipped with abilities to face whatever shortcomings they may encounter with. Implementation methodologies must not only satisfy the customer, but also must boost the confidence of the users.

There is also a confusion prevailing among the top decision makers that whether ERP implementation be carried out module wise or all the modules at one go? Before taking a concrete decision on this regarding the management must make a thorough study of the prevailing situation in their organization. This is because the ground situation varies and depends on each organization.

Mostly decision on this depends on the readiness audit result, available strength of consulting human power - both internal and external - relevance of ERP at various sites, timeframe, and the budget. But it is highly recommended that the organization should go for the implementation of all the modules at one time at one site, and then go for roll out strategy for all sites.

There is also a wrong concept about the BPR and ERP system. The main doubt persist in the mind of many decision makers is whether the organization should first carry out BPR and then implement ERP, or vice versa. Actually, one has to understand that the physical form of the BPR concept is the ERP system. In some organizations where BPR is carried out first then ERP was implemented. In all these places, the BPR document was thrown into dustbin and new 'to be document' was prepared suitable to ERP.

Such cases clearly show that BPR benefits as such don't exist without ERP reference, and ERP just cannot be carried out without proper BPR. What we assume is that the BPR must be the outgrowth of ERP implementation and, therefore, it should be carried out during implementation only. But the major element of BPR is the change in the mindset, which can be initiated before ERP adoption, may be during the preliminary analysis by way of user training. The best thing to do in these situations is to carry 'noiseless BRP' which triggers the implementation smoothly.

Tight integration between modules is the key to an efficient ERP package; therefore all of the core business modules are related. For instance, in eresource ERP, manufacturing operations are integrated with customer service, logistics and delivery. A new customer order automatically initiates an appropriate warehouse action and product shipments trigger billing processes. Sales, production and purchasing groups work seamlessly together to fulfill critical customer orders and adapt production levels to changes in market demand.

Organizations also must understand that development of ERP is not like other software development projects, which are normally carried out focusing on automation. We find such serious mistakes being committed by some big and small companies in India.Today, when quality ERP product like resource ERP is well within the reach of most of the companies, one should not opt for costly in-house development. This kind of in-house developed ERP is not at all an ERP system except the integration.

Organizations that are looking forward to business growth should remember that the decreasing costs of hardware, infrastructure technology and ERP application put a modern version of these business-management packages within reach of any company.

Embark on eresource ERP and take your business globally

2011-10-19T03:20:00.001-07:00

With the implementation of eresource ERP, many companies in India have become technology-driven organizations. What is important is that all these companies had a MRP solution in place before embarking into eresource ERP solution. These companies, however, noticed that their MRP system formed islands of data that inhibited information flow. It was inadequate for the needs of these companies whose businesses were large and complex.

When the plans for re-engineering underwent in these companies the future course of growth also have been taken into consideration. Many of these companies were growing into strategic business units from functional organizations. In some of these companies the decision to implement eresource ERP was the direct fallout of BPR initiative. However, it is not to be forgotten that a large-scale BPR is inevitable for exploiting the capabilities of an ERP package. These organizations have focused implementation of eresource ERP after their restructuring exercise.

It is also important carry out thorough analysis of the ability of applications to meet core business process needs and identifying gaps between core needs and existing application's features and functionality should b e documented well with alternatives, including estimates of all resources and schedule impacts.

Basically ERP system is a complex application when it comes to the question of handling multiple functions. Many of the ERP packages available in the market were more prone to serving individual functions. Even though some of them served multiple functions they did not always cater to different functions from different category. But it was not the case with eresource ERP. It could not only integrate different functions from different departments but also different function from different industries.

There was time when an ERP solution was an exclusive internal solution of an organization and many people in the organization were not aware of the existence of a technology under their nose or they have lacked the information about functioning. With the advent of Web-based eresource ERP everyone in this organization started realizing the functionalities of an ERP solution also its benefits.

Though there was awareness that ERP system was a web friendly application the advantage has not been fully explored, until eresource made its entry. However other ERP solutions had its own reservations in using internet abundantly. eresource ERP worked on them and hence became totally a web friendly application.

There is also misconception that an ERP system is only for the large organizations. However, that is not correct. We can say with confidence that the Small and medium-sized businesses are the major beneficiaries of ERP system and they are the main force that pushed the ERP growth in India. Inflexibility of earlier ERP systems from SAP, Oracle and PeopleSoft pushed the customization drive. Customers are moving from best-of-breed to a best-for-business approach, implying that they prefer extensions to their existing ERP for applications like planning and optimization, business intelligence and knowledge management. This has resulted in emergence of eresource ERP, an effective web-based ERP package that suits large organizations and SMEs alike.

Selection of right ERP holds key to success

How to select the ERP brand perhaps become difficult today. Most of the time budget was the main criteria for elimination round and then companies used to see the live customer list of ERP vendor. We can very well say that the buying decision is like any other procurement decision.

Benefits of ERP in manufacturing industry: Initially Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution was developed for the big organizations. It has also involved huge investment which was out of reach of small and medium sized industries (SMEs). However considering the benefits the ERP solutions have, the smaller organizations also explored the way to implemented it.

ERP within reach of any midsize company: For mid-sized enterprises, an ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system promises big gains, helping to grow revenue, increase productivity companywide, improve efficiency throughout the enterprise and manage costs.

Necessary skills of an ERP manager

2011-10-13T04:00:00.000-07:00

What are the necessary skills, knowledge and attitude an ERP manager should have

An ERP Manager must have the ability to exercise overall day-to-day control of project leaders and the resources of the program, balancing the needs for program success with the skills and capabilities of the staff. He should also be a good communicator and must interact regularly and comfortably across various departments -- from individual to the ERP Management Team level in order to negotiate solutions that foster strong relationships and continued success of the project.

The ERP Manager is responsible for the development of an effective planning process, for the creation of an integrated project schedule that encompasses all aspects for the ERP Program and for the actual execution in conformance to plans and the continuing update and adjustment of plans and execution to fit changing circumstances.

Implement and lead an effective project change management process that pro-actively identifies project changes and incorporates an appropriate impact analysis and approval for such changes across the ERP program team. He is responsible for creating and maintaining a monthly financial management process that incorporates actual financial performance to forecasted performance and justifies all variances; accurately forecasts expenditures in alignment with the project budget and supports the budgeting process throughout the project lifecycle. He also must follow the company's financial processes and policies.

Actively directs the development and maintenance of plans, practices and assignments to identify, quantify and contain the occurrence and potential impact of risks and risk events on the execution of a program and its likelihood of success.

An ERP Manager is responsible for making timely, effective decision at the project level and communicating those decisions both up and down the program structure, while approaching needed decisions in a logical and thoughtful manner and weighing conflicting information.

Leadership quality including the ability to motivate, inspire, counsel and facilitate individuals and teams to take responsibility and accountability for the goals will be an added advantage.

Need of eresource ERP system in manufacturing firms

2011-10-07T03:13:00.000-07:00

Manufacturing firms need to address several key strategic issues if they want to successfully compete in this dynamically changing business environment. Global competitive pressures putting a strong pressure on manufacturers to reduce product cost and at the same time exerts pressure to significantly improve product quality and all other aspects of customer services.

A common strategy used by firms for achieving this goal is to significantly tighten all aspects of the manufacturing process, which includes coordination strategies such as just-in-time and quality improvement programmes.

MRP & MRP II Workflow in eresource : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9uHTExbprxQ&feature=player_embedded

Another key strategic issue is design of the product for manufacturability. This involves forming integrated design teams, pulling together product design, engineering and manufacturing. This strategy also must be kept in mind about -- Reducing order-to-delivery cycle time; High level of after -sales customer support for maintenance Shorter design and cycle time; Globally coordinated flexible manufacturing and Globally coordinated research and development.

Therefore the presence of an effective ERP system is required to successfully implement the above strategies.

Web-based eresource ERP system is designed to address the problem of fragmentation of information or 'islands of information' in manufacturing organizations. eresource ERP system promise to normalise the entire business strategies with a suite of software modules covering activities in all areas of the business. Furthermore, eresource ERP is used as a desirable and critical link for enhancing integration between all functional areas within the manufacturing enterprise, and between the enterprise and its upstream and downstream trading partners.

We-based eresource ERP system can also be defined as a packaged business software system that allows a company to automate and integrate all of its business processes and share common data and practices across the enterprise. Through integration of various functions in the organization and making the facility available online, managers and staff alike can use timely information to make better decisions and to perform activities, which add value to the company.

The impact of eresource ERP system in an organization could be felt in a short span of time and the significant improvement in the productivity could be clearly visible. We must also say that the implementation of eresource ERP should not be looked just as a tool for automation of the transaction system. The major objective of eresource ERP system is to improvement of business processes.

What is the impact of ERP in an organization

2011-09-26T05:45:00.001-07:00

The implementation of ERP is turns out to be a challenge for many enterprises, but their chances for success are greater if they get to implement it rightly. Nowadays, many ERP solution providers are reducing their prices and make the products more accessible to all industrial segments. They are also focusing on quick implementation procedures that in turn help these organizations save some money. High competition in this field also forces the ERP providers to show results in a short time of period.

Earlier, organizations were looking at ERP as a back-office application. Today many organizations are initiating new projects to use ERP in their sales activities, customer service and commercial planning. Majority of these organizations have found ERP system an ideal application to e-business functions, while others are taking several actions in order to use software that can facilitate client-vendor relationships.

Users in these organizations started realizing that it was a good decision to implement ERP technology. They also feel that it is really important to understand that the system as a basic software. This system also can be customized to accommodate additional modules and other functions as per the organization's needs.

One important area that could demand for additional functions is commercial analysis. You should use applications that allow you to measure benefits directly. These kind of applications need a well designed backbone ERP to make them work, and in this way it is certain there are a number of reasons to install an ERP system.

What is customer order management in an ERP system

2011-09-26T05:44:00.001-07:00

As integration of business functions is one of the key strength of ERP system, the integration process begins at the contact with a potential customer. Therefore, this process of customer ordering is at the heart of the ERP system.

In an ERP system the integration of sales and distribution to capture the order and ship the goods, material management to control the inventory, financial accounting to manage the billing and flow of cash, controlling to measure the profitability of operations and production planning to ensure an economical flow of goods to inventory and customers.

What are the advantages of HR module in ERP

2011-09-21T05:40:00.002-07:00

As you are aware that Human Resources is a fundamental part of the scheme of every successful organization. Information received and handled by this department needs to have a continuous follow-up and correct evaluation for the professional development and the social welfare of the workers.

However, due to the large quantity of information that is handled in this department, (http://www.eresourceerp.com/Human-resource-management.html) it is becoming impossible to handle this task manually or by a legacy system which has its own drawbacks. ERP is represented like a useful tool to help and orient the users to focus their work in the direct relationship with the staff, and to link the personal skills and aspirations of the personnel related to the objectives and goals of the company.

Through an ERP system it is possible to facilitate the centralized control and decentralized operation, which allows the leaders of the human resources area to focus on the strategic responsibilities of planning programs of personnel for development. Meanwhile, the operative activities are assumed and optimized by their own tool. By this way, an additional value is added.

ERP is able to provide the management of the Human Resources area with an integrated solution to the different processes of these sections, which includes the planning, the administration of payroll, the professional development, work health and administration in general.

It is also useful for decision making and analysis. The internal communication is an indispensable part of the daily tasks of the department, and therefore ERP is also prepared to provide a solution in this field.

The implementation of ERP contributes to automate the processes, setting resources free to develop tasks of major interest and optimizing the different Human Resources processes.

Who are ERP package vendors and what their roles

2011-09-21T05:40:00.001-07:00

ENDORS are the people who have developed the ERP packages. They are the people who have invested huge amounts of time and effort in research and development, to create the packaged solutions. If one studies the history of ERP packages and finds out how each package evolved, then it soon becomes evident that every ERP package grew out of the experience or opportunity of a group of people working in a specific business who created systems that could deal with certain business segments.

Vendor selection is not a popularity contest and bigger does not always mean better. (http://www.eresourceerp.com/functions-of-ERP-project-management-team.html) While the financial stability, ensured longevity and broad spectrum of offerings provided by the top vendors are good reasons for selecting them, size is not without its downside. Size breeds bureaucracy and bureaucracy hamper personal attention and agility.

While small vendors that are not quite household names may carry increased risks in the area of long-term longevity, they may actually provide a better solution if they specialize in your industry segment rather than covering a broad spectrum of industries.

It is important to remember that the vendor, as long as they provide working software and capable personnel, really as very little responsibility for your overall success. Responsibility for success of failure lies within the four walls of your business, and if you import failure in the form of a third-party, it's still your responsibility.

Enterprise Resource Planning and Return on Investment

2011-09-21T05:38:00.002-07:00

Though many organizations spend lot of time and money researching, analyzing and justifying an enterprise resource planning (ERP) purchase, they hardly spend any time to scrutinize whether the application performs satisfactorily and gives the required output.

If organizations don't establish specific performance metrics, (http://www.eresourceerp.com/advantages-of-a-web-based-ERP-solution.html) it will be very hard to gauge how well that product is working to meet their objectives, let alone correct any performance gaps.

Given that ERP system is somewhat expensive, some might wonder why more organizations don't engage in a thorough, after-the-fact audit. Reasons range from a lack of involvement by senior management to anxieties about whether the project will live up to its promise-and whose feet will be held to the fire if it doesn't. And somewhat surprisingly, after-the-fact audits are often skipped because no one agrees on what precisely constitutes a successful ERP program.

When the majority of the people you ask not may not sure about what an ERP is, it makes little difficult for your to search for the people who may know it thoroughly. On a technology level, ERP software integrates a company's departments and functions into a single program running on one database, a valuable step forward for improving efficiencies, because integration speeds up business processes.

For a HR manager ERP system is something different application from a production manager. For him it is a system for the employees to interact with each other. But getting bogged down in definitions is beside the point. The point is whatever methodology you use to measure your ERP, it should be applied consistently across the organization at specific points following the implementation.

How often you measure your ERP system will depend on the size of your organization and the depth of your software change. Typically, an audit should occur halfway through the implementation, again at three-quarters of the way through the implementation, and when it's complete. Then, you should follow up every quarterly.

There may be some further questions that how can the ERP application be measured up? Only a systematic, disciplined approach to measuring ROI can provide the answer. However, if the ERP audit focuses only on productivity gains, such as how many steps it takes to complete a shipping label, you won't get the clear of ROI. To get a clear picture the audit must take into account how well employees interact with the ERP system software. Whether the system empowers them to accomplish key tasks? How quickly do they adjust with its functioning methods? To get the actual result, user surveys should be conducted immediately after the training period and again six months later.

A polite approach to the employees to enquire about the functioning of your ERP system could get you closer to the software and its functioning. It will help you understand any shortcomings in the system as well as the need of further training to the employees which could make them more comfortable with the system. A logical and systematic approach to the ERP system by the employees is a must for a good result that ultimately reflected in the organization's return on investment (ROI).

Web-enabled ERP

2011-09-21T05:38:00.001-07:00

ERP applications are an integral component of any information architecture and today's application system are required to address more than the processes taking place within the walls of an enterprise, they must be able to address the players and processes involved in an extended enterprise that reaches customers, partners, suppliers and employees worldwide.

ERP vendors and developers must move to integration models, (http://www.eresourceerp.com/webbase.html) based on industry accepted standards and non-proprietary application programming interfaces (APIs). Web services promise to play a large role in this new integration model, enabling ERP functionality to be fully leveraged using industry standard technologies.

Within almost every industry there are business requirements to lower costs, increase revenue and improve operation efficiencies. In order to achieve these goal companies must connect internal groups, extend processes to partners, expand business opportunities and reduce transaction costs.

These business requirements can only be met by technologies that are cost-effective, flexible and agile. The technologies must support automated collaboration, real-time integration, secure interactions and low-cost coupling.

The new business models are forcing organizations to accelerate the business reengineering initiatives they undertook when they first began to implement ERP systems decades ago. To maintain competitive advantage, almost all companies must now be able to conduct their business on-online as part of an increasingly internet-based global economic community.

As we all know, the Web has improved performance and productivity, enabled collaboration, dismantled trade barriers and created an enormous range of global opportunities. As a result of the Web's burgeoning adoption and success as a means of conducting business, productivity has increased tremendously; however, the lack of interoperability has been frustrating to many.

Organizations must provide customers, employees, suppliers, distributors and numerous other parties with the information they need, when they need it. As a result, business systems and processes can no longer remain isolated and disparate. Business success now requires better performance from easier application integration.

Systems must share information internally with other applications as well, externally through Web applications, business-to-business (B2B) exchanges and value-added networks. These exchanges and transactions must be real-time, on-line and immediate - i.e. conducted anytime, anywhere and without compromise to security or transaction integrity.

Through the use of Web enabled services, the cycle time between buying and replenishment can be greatly reduced and the potential for errors virtually eliminated.

ERP is a powerful tool, but look before you leap

2011-09-20T04:27:00.000-07:00

ERP is a powerful tool, but look before you leap

AN ERP system is a very powerful computer tool and organizations can gain a lot of competitive advantage by implementing an ERP system. Unfortunately, it is observed that many ERP projects have not been effective and hence unable to achieve the results envisaged.

As the cost of an ERP implementation project is high, it is critical for an organization to make the project a success and start deriving benefits out of it as far as possible. But what is it that makes an ERP implementation project successful?

A well-defined project organization structure that details the project planning, execution and monitoring mechanism
An attitude that stresses on business transformation instead of process automation
An approach that brings about the proper integration of people, process and technology through effective management of change

Companies need a well thought out, comprehensive process to help plan, guide and control the entire ERP implementation effort. Before the entity-gritty of software selection begins, management should know how current strategy, process and supporting system work and if any changes should be made before the new information system is introduced. The pre-implementation stage is the time to re-consider the way you do business and to make a detailed analysis of the requirements and the expectations of the new information system.

Optimization of business process rather than technical innovation should stand in the focus of an ERP implementation project. Start defining software needs by examining current process that govern your flow of information and material throughout the order-to-delivery process and ultimately the entire supply chain. There is a common tendency to shortcut this very important activity but you will pay - sometimes dearly - in time and money for avoiding this essential step.

Take the time to evaluate your ERP plan before you commit to software acquisition and installation. Doing it right the first time is the only way to go. There are many people eout there who wish they had taken a brief pause to evaluate their direction.

ERP - A business intelligence application

2011-09-20T04:25:00.000-07:00

ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) is a way to integrate the data and processes of an organization into one single system, using sub-systems that include hardware, software and a unified database in order to achieve integration, to store the data for various functions found throughout the organization.

The term ERP used to refer about how large organizations of the industrial type planned to use organizational wide resources. Today ERP is used in almost any type of organization it doesn't matter whether its large, small or what industry it falls in. How do we know what software system can be considered ERP? First, it must provide an organization with functionality for at least two systems or more.

However, many of today's ERP systems can cover more than just two functions and integrate them into one unified Data Base. Human Resources, Supply Chain Management, Customer Relations Management, Financial, Manufacturing functions and Warehouse Management functions can be found on modern companies under one umbrella - the ERP system.

The Key to ERP is integration. Its main goal is to integrate data and processes from all areas of the organization and unify it, to provide ease of access and an efficient work flow. ERP Systems usually accomplish this through one single database that employs multiple software modules.

The ideal configuration is then to have one ERP system for an entire organization, but organizations that are very large have been known to create an ERP system and then add external interfaces for other stand alone systems considered more powerful or able to fulfill the organization's needs in a better way.

The Ideal ERP System
The ideal ERP system would have a single database for all areas of the company and contain all of the data for various software modules, such as:

Workflow management, quality control, bills of material, manufacturing process, engineering, etc.
Accounts (payable & receivable), general ledger and cash management, fixed assets.
Training, payroll, time and attendance, benefits.
Purchasing, Inventory, supplier scheduling, claim processing, order entry, supply chain planning.
Activity management, time and expense, billing, costing.
Call Center Support, service, commissions, customer contact, sales & marketing.

ERP and Productivity
Before ERP systems appeared, in most organizations each department had their own operating system, data and database. The problem was that many of those systems would not be able to communicate with each other, so for example the financial of a company would have been on a separate computer system than the Human Resources information, thus complicating the processing of certain functions.

When a company sets up an ERP system, all aspects of the organization can work in harmony. As a result the organization enjoys increased productivity and may use less types of software.

Implementation of an ERP System
Implementing an ERP system is not an easy task. It takes considerable planning and consulting. The timeline for an ERP implementation may range between 3 months and more than 1 year.

ERP systems are extraordinarily wide in scope and can be extremely complex for many organizations. For instance, Changes on staff and work practices might be required. It is advisable (and more cost effective) to use specially trained ERP implementation consultants and not only the "in-house" IT staff.

Ownership of the project of the most important traits that an organization should have when implementing an ERP system. So many changes take place and it has such an effect on almost every individual in the organization, that it is important to make sure everyone is on board and will help make the new ERP system a success.

Organizations may implement their customized ERP system using ERP vendors or consulting companies. 3 types of professional services are needed when implementing an ERP system: Consulting, Customization and Support.

Consulting: responsible for the initial stages of ERP implementation, training, workflow, etc.

Customization: extend the use of the new ERP system or change its use creating customized interfaces and/or underlying application code. Some things may still need to be built or customized for an organization's specific needs. Support: Technical support and maintenance of ERP systems.

Advantages of ERP Systems
There are many advantages of implementing an EPR system:

It's totally integrated.
It has the ability to streamline different processes and workflows.
It is easy to share data across various departments in an organization.
It improves efficiency and productivity levels.
It provides better tracking and forecasting.
Its costs are lower.
It provides improved customer service.

Disadvantages of ERP Systems
ERP's advantages outweigh disadvantages but here are some of the most common obstacles experienced by organizations:

Lack of skills and the inexperience of the workforce may delay its adaptation to the new system.
Customization can be limited.
The organization might need to reengineer some business processes.

Dealing with employee resistance

2011-09-20T04:23:00.000-07:00

CHANGE is happening faster that most people care to think about. What is more important, change is happening faster that most people care to accept. In fact, most people do not want change! The premise is that change is not always good - that somehow it will have a negative impact.

Today, technology is exponentially advancing. It is very difficult to keep pace and stay abreast with these technological developments. We are in a constant state of change and continuous change and continuous improvements in the abilities of companies to do things better, faster and cheaper is an absolute must for survival in this brutally competitive world.

The main reason for the resistance towards change are fear of failure, fear of being redundant and fear about the uncertain future.

Fear of being Redundant

The biggest fear shared by people in companies going in for ERP implementation is the loss of their jobs. As soon as the decision about the ERP implementation is announced rumours about the new system automating all the tasks and making people redundant will start floating around. When a company talks about ERP and automation, the immediate reaction is that computers will replace people.

There is some truth in this fear. There are many instances where computers have made people redundant. But what most people fail to hear is that the people who are doing manual jobs before computerization were able to get better jobs with higher salaries once they learned the new system and how to use the computers. So if a person is willing to adapt to the changes and is willing to learn the new system and new way of doing business, then he or she does not have anything to fear. There is a very good chance of getting better jobs with higher salaries.

Fear of failure

Another fear that must be addressed is people's fear of failure - the fear of not understanding or being able to work within an automated environment. Many companies make the serious mistake of not insisting on a very thorough training program that will insure the employees have the knowledge and a confidence level of adapting and using the new system to the maximum benefit of the company.

Many view training as an expense to be cut. Beware of those that claim they can reduce this expensive as the results have proven increases the hidden costs to the firm that often exceeds the perceived savings. Training is an item that should receive the most serious attention by professional implementers.

Fear of future

Openly discussing and announcing the purpose of implementation and what it means to the employees of the firm can help to address the fear of the future. Normally ERP implementation investment is made so the firm can compete and grow the business. It may be implemented to survive, thrive and become competitive.

Whatever, the future expected from the implementation, it must be made openly clear to all who are expected to participate in making it successful. A feeling of excitement must be built from the ground up, in order for people to enthusiastically embrace the ERP system as the key to their futures. Without a feeling of confidence that things are going to be good, they may never try it at all. If they decide not to give the system their full support, you will not be successful in your implementation.

While small vendors that are not quite household names may carry increased risks in the area of long-term longevity, they may actually provide a better solution if they specialize in your industry segment rather than covering a broad spectrum of industries.

It is important to remember that the vendor, as long as they provide working software and capable personnel, really as very little responsibility for your overall success. Responsibility for success of failure lies within the four walls of your business, and if you import failure in the form of a third-party, it's still your responsibility.

How to choose the right ERP

2011-09-13T23:03:00.000-07:00

The foremost thing to understand about the ERP is that it is not a common software that can be used as any other software. As the ERP system consists of a revolution that involves every internal process, it must be preceded by a hard reevaluation of every department together with their functions, and the way they make decisions.

It is also to be understood that an ERP will not change the management functioning on its own. ERP is an important and decisive tool, but in order to obtain the desired results it is also important who will be commanding it as well as the way in which the data will be saved and how information will flow.

It is better that you assign an external consultant to evaluable a suitable ERP for your organization. The consultants are capable of evaluating the ERP system with functionality of your organizations in mind. They will also identify the effective needs of the moment. On the other hand, they focus on keeping intact the culture of the organization in order to avoid the chances of collision.

You also must take into the account the investment you are planning to make in an ERP system with its benefit equation. As the ERP is a system consists of many modules, price to be observed on the basis of total package until it is divided into several module units. The cost of implementation and even the chance of discounts when purchasing new versions are also to be taken into account.

Can ERP improve General Ledger capacity

2011-09-13T23:02:00.001-07:00

Organizations find it difficult to combine the reporting applications, and many companies had to spend a lot of money to ensure the effectiveness of their external and internal reporting. Also slow execution makes the records disorganized. ERP becomes the best tool to reorganize this function by increasing the data quality, combining the fields included in the different databases of one program.

Regarding the specific regulations and requirements related to the financial reporting ERP is the best solution to maintain company activities in order. It has the ability to represent the parallel financial reporting in several ledgers.

With the implementation of an effective ERP system, compliance and transparency are guaranteed, and it also makes it easier to gather and report the valuation bases needed to settle more than one account. Through this integrated reporting application the accounting is a simpler task to complete.

How to succeed in ERP implementation

2011-09-13T23:00:00.000-07:00

An ERP implementation can be categorized in two ways. One is implementing it for the first time and the other one is updating the existing system. The first one takes more time as proper research and preparation to be done. Also the employees who will be working in the new system to be trained in appropriate manner so that the system can be handled correctly.

The second method of upgrading the existing system usually takes less time than the first time implementation. Despite this, both phases take place at different times and require different levels of difficulty. Having to face the second stage is not a sign of failure, but a chance of improving the functionality of the system. What we must realize is that organizations need to incorporate ERP more and more on every day basis. As the market is changing every day there is also growing competition among organizations. Everyone is competing to match with requirement of global market.

However, we have all heard about organizations that have tried to implement ERP and failed. The question is why does it happen and how can it be that some enterprises get huge benefits while others loose time and money?

What is the impact of ERP in an organization

2011-09-13T22:58:00.000-07:00

The implementation of ERP is turns out to be a challenge for many enterprises, but their chances for success are greater if they get to implement it rightly. Nowadays, many ERP solution providers are reducing their prices and make the products more accessible to all industrial segments. They are also focusing on quick implementation procedures that in turn help these organizations save some money. High competition in this field also forces the ERP providers to show results in a short time of period.

Earlier, organizations were looking at ERP as a back-office application. Today many organizations are initiating new projects to use ERP in their sales activities, customer service and commercial planning. Majority of these organizations have found ERP system an ideal application to e-business functions, while others are taking several actions in order to use software that can facilitate client-vendor relationships.

Users in these organizations started realizing that it was a good decision to implement ERP technology. They also feel that it is really important to understand that the system as a basic software. This system also can be customized to accommodate additional modules and other functions as per the organization's needs.

One important area that could demand for additional functions is commercial analysis. You should use applications that allow you to measure benefits directly. These kind of applications need a well designed backbone ERP to make them work, and in this way it is certain there are a number of reasons to install an ERP system.

ERP training is essential for successful business operation

2011-08-30T03:00:00.000-07:00

Multiple mechanisms to address different learning styles

ERP implementations bring significant change to the way employees work. However, no ERP implementation can succeed without proper employee training. What is commonly experienced is that though ERP training is an integral part of ERP system deployment, many such training does not bring out an effective result.

Many enterprise system training initiatives erroneously focus on transactional training. Also many ERP training fail to accomplish several key goals, including putting changes in a context that is easily understood by employees, reinforcing changes over time, and providing multiple mechanisms to address different learning styles.

Key elements

Running a business entails much more than merely completing transactions: ERP developers are generally good at creating documentation and training that teaches people how to complete transactions in the system. However, running a business entails much more than merely completing transactions in a system. ERP training courses must deliver knowledge in the context of how employees perform their day-to-day jobs, not simply how to complete the new transactions in a system.

It won't be that easy to get away with business processes, since they are going to change in the new ERP environment. The employees must be trained thoroughly to understand the new things. It will help them migrate to the new environment. Apart from that, relating to as-is processes helps highlight the most significant changes affecting employees.

Different people learn in different ways, and it often takes repetition and multiple channels to transform understanding and behavior. While most ERP implementations leverage classroom training, a majority of companies deploying a new ERP system fail to leverage cheat sheets, user instructions, Web-based tutorials, hands-on simulations, and other effective learning tools. It is necessary to include a variety of formal and informal training tools to make sure the changes stick.

People who must get ERP training

In an organization, the decision makers need to have sufficient understanding of what is involved in an implementation project so that they appreciate the potential problems and are able to give the commitment and support that is required.

The members of the project team need to get thorough training and skills that will enable them to establish how to best use the functionality for the operation and maintenance phase. Since the members of the project team will become the trainers of other employees in the organization, they must be provided with the skill to able to formulate and deliver a training course.

The users of the ERP system need to have the skill for using the functionality relevant to their roles. They should understand the basic concepts of ERP and also how to perform the day-to-day activities in the ERP system. Others who require training include managers, who should have at least an appreciation of what the system does. Ideally, the project manager should have a good understanding o fall aspects of the system so that he can be effective in dealing with any issues raised.

A select number of people will require more specific technical training so that they can design databases, write scripts, manage users, generate reports and query the database for specific requirements.

The system administrators need to be able to setup the system and then maintain it. They will require knowledge about how to handle system security and deal with technical problems. They will need to develop a level of understanding of the functionality so that, at some stage after implementation when the project team is disbanded, they are able to manage the system smoothly.

Additionally, over the period it can be expected that the ERP tool will evolve to some degree along with the company and projects that it serves. From time to time it may be necessary to conduct additional training sessions to keep everyone abreast of the changes that have been implemented.

eresource academy, the training wing of eresource Infotech Pvt. Ltd. has developed program dedicated to training users in every aspect of the Integrated ERP software system. Its exclusive two-day basic ERP training course gives an opportunity to the users of ERP systems and other IT professionals to get acquainted with ERP software.

Manufacturing Module

This module is used to record data related to the manufacturing department of the organization. Data is recorded in this module when Bill of Materials, Work Orders and WIP receipts are to be created for work orders.

In modern manufacturing operations, information starts at the top and the bottom simultaneously. Data originates at the machines, the process and the workers. It indicates what is being made, how and where, when it will be done, and why it won't be on time.

ERP allows companies to balance customer demands impacted by multiple interrelated items and multiple plant locations. ERP adds applications for financials, supply chain, and distribution and requirements planning for multiple sites. It facilitates intelligent resource planning in the face of rapidly changing constraints such as materials availability, market readiness, plant capacities, personnel certification and business costs per location.

ERP can bring new life into your business

2011-08-24T03:27:00.000-07:00

When companies start experiencing that their way of doing work (http://www.erppandit.com/ERP-can-bring-new-life-into-your-business.html) does not bring desired result and holding them back on experimenting anything new, it is time to go for an effective ERP system. Absence of an ERP system could result in information reaching the wrong hands or languishing in the wrong place, and this can often lead to flawed decision making processes

On the other hand presence of an ERP system in an organization should answer all of the logistical problems with paperwork if they are installed correctly. An effective ERP system will certainly bring improvement but it does take a dedicated management team to see the implementation of this right up until it is working properly.

ERP system comes with many different modules which all bond together to make up the finished arrangement. For the sales department, the module will cover all things to do with the sales invoices, accounting, creditors and debtors etc and should allow for the managers to make decisions based on the work at hand, debts coming in and the number of sales expected in the near future.HR module in an ERP system takes care of the staff of the company and this human resource module should allow managers to put workers who are best qualified into key positions so that the work load is taken care of better. It will also monitor the staff too so if anything is not going well, managers will be alerted very quickly.

In a manufacturing company, it is very important for the stores to know when goods are needed and when stocks are running low. Coordinating with sales then should allow the managers to work out what goods to order and when so that production is not held up.

Downtime in any factory is factored in as expenses since all the workers still have to be paid, power bills will be ongoing and maintenance on the building will still be going on etc. Having some form of pre warning then would allow everything to run much smoother.

Customer Relationship Management or CRM module is that deals with all customer relation tasks and this is vital in the case of a chain of shops etc. where all their income is derived from serving customers direct. This provides documentation and procedures for Customer Service desks and collects information on complaints, returned goods and just about anything that is customer related so this is very important indeed.

As there are number of such modules which are integrated for usage of different department, sections or branches, putting them into operation may first feel a little daunting. Getting them to run in unison and making the system work successfully need determination on the part of the management team and the implementation team.

Once an organization has decided to implement an ERP system, a suitable package should be selected from the various packages available in the market which are developed by very big to smaller players in the market. A true evaluation of a system will make it easier to determine which one suits your needs and little advise from the consultants or vendors you will be able to implement the right one at the right time. It is only when the end results are becoming very obvious that people will appreciate that the system has helped the company to succeed in a far more efficient way.

ERP system helps curtail financial malpractices

2011-08-24T03:25:00.000-07:00

When we think of the reasons behind the consolidation of software applications, ( http://www.erppandit.com/ERP-system-helps-curtail-financial-scandals.html )the picture we get is very clear and straightforward. Everyone will agree that purchasing, installing and maintaining one application is best option and less costly than purchasing, installing and maintaining multiple applications. Therefore when a company implements ERP system their business operations get smooth and efficient.

One of the prime reasons the top management is eager to implement an effective ERP system is to stop any financial malpractices. Unearthing more financial scandals increases the responsibility for top management and the system should be capable of bringing such events in to the notice of the top management without any delay. Likewise the current economic situation and new competitive threats continue to make key performance indicators of interest to multiple layers of management and decision makers. Linking more departments into the same application links their information and cost factors in as well. In the case of asset management, that means being able to summon a more complete total cost of ownership picture for specific asset or asset classes from a single application.

Another important benefit of an ERP system is that helps improved collaboration between and within departments. Again returning specifically to the case of asset management, there are a number of different departments and individuals involved throughout the lifecycle of an asset. Providing the right information to all who have involved on right time makes the decision making a easy method and bring a cordial working environment.

Enterprise Resource Planning systems are getting much better at keeping all interested parties informed with what they need to know through configurable views into the data and automatic notifications to proper individuals when certain conditions exist or certain work is completed. On the one hand, this sort of collaboration can bring productivity gains from eliminating manual routing of information and coordinating schedules to avoid having to reschedule or redo work because of something another department did. On the other hand, it can also offer a way to control and ensure processes required for compliance are followed, transferring that responsibility to a computer system that can enforce processes and eliminate some of the opportunities for human error.

Elimination of redundant data is considered to be another reason for integration of application. When a organization maintains two separate and unconnected systems with asset information they will need to store much of the same information about those assets in two separate systems. This redundancy not only implies duplication of effort to enter and maintain information in two systems but also brings up serious regulatory and compliance. Implementation of an effective ERP system eliminates all these shortcoming and can make a the organization attain the desired result in the business.

Will just implementing an ERP system solve my business worries

2011-08-10T00:41:00.001-07:00

No software including even an ERP system will solve your problems unless the system is used in proper manner. What is to be remembered is that ERP is a tool and not a magic wand. Therefore the tool must be used properly if you expect any result out of it.

It is also important that tools are only as good for you as you are good and skilled and disciplined at handling them. Poor tools are just that, poor tools - they won't help you much. But good tools won't help you any better if you don't use them properly.

Huge inventory levels may well be result of bad tools to manage inventory properly. Or they may come from people being irresponsible about ordering only what's necessary. It may come from poor planning tools. Or from people avoiding planning, or not planning at all.

There are many instances when a company's profitability may be low due to huge administrative overhead or due to shot of personnel to take care of unnecessary costs. Your company can become unprofitable in sales, because somebody is doing favors to certain "big" and "important" customers, and nobody knows or nobody cares. The people who are associated with these malpractices will keep all the transactions under the carpet.

In the above scenario, an ERP system could make a big difference. That means the ERP will not miraculously make those customers profitable for you, but being a tool, it could expose them and pinpoint the reason for low profitability.

It is just an example how an ERP system could be used as an effective tool to curtail malpractices in an organization which will ultimately solve many of your business problems.

It must be admitted that developing such a package was not easy. As everyone knows that meshing the specific needs of thousands of customers into a single coherent package was not that easy. But eresource's top quality expert to sift through this mature package, incorporating a massive volume of functionality processes as required by the customer. Although being a web-based ERP solution, eresource has simplified the implementation process, it still brings efficient operational methods and return on investment (ROI).

There is also one important reason why eresource is concentrating more on SMEs. That is, SME segment is ignored by large players in the ERP market. But this attitude has ultimately helped competitiveness among ERP developers such as eresource, which turned out to be a blessing in disguise for the SME segment.

Another reason why the bigger players avoiding the SMEs are the high volume of customization and the work demanded by the SMEs need more personal care, which the bigger players do not support. So when it comes to the question of SMEs it takes a great deal of time for them to understand the business and design software programs based on modality. On the other hand eresource understands their requirements and genuinely get involved with them and train them to handle any complicated issues. This has helped the SME sector to choose and implement a solution which will be suitable not just only for their needs but also will fit into their budget.

Sometime there comes a big dilemma for companies evaluating ERP solutions because they are unsure of choosing software offered by a branded player or a small player. Some companies debate that only a branded player can satisfy the requirements even though the recipient is a small concern. It is not true.

How effective are the security measures in eresource ERP

2011-07-26T04:01:00.002-07:00

Organizations should not wait for an embarrassing and potentially devastating event to find out that security controls in their ERP systems are inadequate. To overcome this risk organizations need to implement an appropriate access strategy.

As businesses grow, information systems support whole communities of users like customers, suppliers, partners and employees, who all count on the secure exchange of a wide variety of information to place orders, pay bills and keep records up to date.

Customers, vendors, partners and employees all need access to the right ERP information at the right time and, increasingly, from anywhere. Yet these users work on many different systems and access data from multiple locations. All have different passwords and authorizations.

Organizations must not only manage the security issues of your own employees, but also increasingly those of customers, suppliers and other business partners.

eresource ERP addresses your security needs in authentication, access control and user management. An integrated solution identifies the user, determines what the user can do, determine the level of trust the user should receive, protects your data.

Our ERP security specialists have the expertise, tools and methodologies to make sure that your eresource ERP system includes a cost-effective security approach that dovetails with your firewall, virus scanner, spam control and tape backup systems

Any particular industry has a greater benefit from an ERP implementation

2011-07-26T04:01:00.001-07:00

Any company that builds a product; designs, sources keeps inventory, markets, and distributes needs an ERP system. It is difficult to pinpoint a business that doesn't need ERP.

For any business that has accounting, operations, and customer-facing applications, ERP has applicability across the board. What's going to be more subjective is the depth of the solution. That's going to be a function of what you can afford.

Even having a cash register and cheque book can be referred as an ERP, if you want. Well, yes, but most companies are going to need something that's more complex than that.

successful ERP implementation

The introduction of Information Technology, especially enterprise systems such as enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, is a common way of implementing organizational change today. Such enterprise system implementations frequently come with new software systems and business processes that substantially alter workflow and jobs.

While the annual investment of several millions of rupees in ERP systems is staggering, estimates indicate that there could be chances of failures in implemented systems and such failures have been observed even in highly successful organizations. Organizations that successfully implement ERP systems, including new software and business processes, have reported enormous benefits, such as greater efficiency and effectiveness at the individual employee and organizational levels.

One of the primary causes of failure is the inability of managers to effectively manage the change process. Managers frequently fail to consider the organizational environment and culture relying, instead, on success stories of some organizations that used a big-bang strategy, an implementation strategy in which all modules of an ERP system are implemented simultaneously and in a short period time, to manage their own change. The result can be catastrophic for firms, with consequences up to and including going out of business as a result of a failed ERP implementation.

Can organizations succeed without ERP system

2011-07-25T00:28:00.000-07:00

If an organization is very small in size, caters to the niche market and has very limited scope, then it can sometimes succeed without ERP. But today's organizations are becoming large and the products are becoming more and more complex in size, sophistication and technologies used. Also, a single group does not necessarily build the different components of a product.

This is the era of multi-site, distributed production, where different groups situated in different parts of the world develop the components of a system. In such a scenario, managing the activities of an organization is a very complex task. If proper control mechanisms and procedures are not in place, very soon the operations can get out of control and products and organizations can fail.

ERP training and education

All users of the ERP system should be trained properly in using the system to its fullest. Different groups of people in the company will have different training needs. Managers need more focus on the decision-making and analysis features of the system while the clerical staff need more focus on how to perform their jobs. But all the users must be trained in the ERP basics, overview of the system and its working, how an action by an employee triggers a host of events throughout the organization, how automation will help, what processes are changed and so on.

Educate everyone so that they understand what is going to be achieved with the new system. Additional education should include total quality management and change management strategies. Also the training sessions should be used to gain acceptance for the ERP system by dispelling the myths about ERP. When the employees do not understand what the new system is and what is supposed to do and how to operate it, they will not use it or use it incorrectly. This can lead to failure of the system. Best option is to train department managers in how to use the system and have them train the users.

How accurate are sales forecasts

2011-07-25T00:24:00.000-07:00

ONE should understand that the sales forecast is not exact but should be as accurate as one could reasonably expect for the business he/she is in and that, through measurement and correction of errors, the sales forecast accuracy is improving on a product by product basis.

It is mainly the job of planning, purchasing and production departments to be able to meet the sales forecast given this expected level of accuracy. However, it is not necessary to have an accurate forecast to plan and control your business; you do need everyone to work to an agreed forecast that is updated regularly with any significant changes.

Forecast accuracy also will depend on the historical business background you are in. If you are in a mature and stable business you should expect a reasonably accurate forecast. If the business is new and growing, the forecast will be less accurate. In either case the way to determine what your forecast accuracy should be is to start with the accuracy you have achieved in the past. This is the minimum starting point for forecast accuracy. If you do not have a formal forecasting process at the moment, you should start now.

Forecast accuracy should be measured in units of production not value unless there is no sensible unit of production (a company selling a service for instance). An important reason to measure forecast accuracy is to be better able to plan the future supply chain and value adds in factors such as selling price and even exchange rates into the forecast accuracy which do not affect the supply chain. Average selling price and exchange rate should be forecast as a separate exercise for financial planning.

Once you are measuring sales forecast accuracy, the next stage is to improve it. This is achieved by investigating any forecast errors outside the historical accuracy of the forecast.

Finally, the sales plan should be the date and quantity of shipments you expect your customer may require. If your customer requests products in line with the plan, but you are unable to ship that product, it is still a hit as far as plan accuracy is concerned. On the other hand, if your customer requests shipments on a different date from the plan it is a miss even if you could have shipped it according to the forecast plan.

How ERP systems improve company's business performance

2011-07-25T00:21:00.001-07:00

Enterprises Resource Planning (ERP) solution enables the task involved in performing a business process quickly and efficiently.

With ERP, when a customer service representative takes an order from a customer, he or she has all the necessary information to complete the order. Everyone else in the company sees the same computer screen and has access to the single database that holds the customer's new order. As and when a department completes their work with the order, it is automatically routed via the ERP system to the next department for the next process.

The order can be tracked any time of point by any department by logging into the system. The order process moves so quickly through the organization, and customers get their orders faster and with fewer errors than before. ERP can extent that application to the other major business process, such as employees' benefits or financial reporting.

The entire gamut of ERP activities are summarized below:

•ERP facilitates a company-wide integrated Information Systems covering all functional areas such as manufacturing, sales and distribution, accounts, payables, receivables, inventory, human resources. Etc.
•ERP integrates and automates most business processes and share information enterprise-wide in real-time, thereby improving customer service and the corporate image.
•ERP provides complete integration of the system not only across departments but also across companies under the same management.
•ERP bridges information gaps across a company and focuses on key issues such as productivity enhancement, customer service, cash management, inventory, quality control and prompt delivery. Etc.
•ERP is the solution for better project management.
•ERP provides business intelligence tools like decision support system, executive information system, reporting, data-mining, early-warning system, enabling people to make better decisions and improve business processes.
•ERP not only addresses the current requirements of the company but also provides an opportunity for improvement and refinement in the business process on a continuous process.

Why Indian ERP system best suited for Indian industries

2011-07-25T00:19:00.000-07:00

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Solution software should address all the needs of an enterprise within the social context of the country in which the enterprise operates. This would imply that the local accounting practices, locally applicable taxation laws are fully adhered to in implementing the various business processes.

Many imported ERP software systems must incorporate India specific features before implementation as per the specifications of its client, where as an Indian ERP solution has already been programmed to take care of the national industry's interest.

Another feature of an India-made ERP like eresource ERP software system is its design. It has been designed to cater the need of the Indian users with fully knowing their working environment and requirements.

Industries also consider easy accessibility to their solution providers while choosing the right ERP for their enterprises. It also to be noted that eresource Infotech serves all our customers equally, unlike some overseas vendors who have a strategy to serve only large clients.

Cost factor also stands as one of the reasons why Indian ERP solution is best suited for Indian industries. Many a time the huge cost involved in it scares away industries from implementing ERP solution, depriving the benefits the system could offer. To overcome this precarious scenario, eresource ERP has introduced an affordable ERP, keeping in mind the Indian industries, specially the small and medium scale enterprises.

Is classroom study key to successful ERP implementation?

2011-07-21T22:57:00.000-07:00

The result can be catastrophic for firms, with consequences up to and including going out of business as a result of a failed ERP implementation.

Given this backdrop, it is important to teach diverse aspects of ERP implementations to make today's information systems and business management curricula relevant to organizational practice. Yet, the effective integration of ERP related knowledge into curricula continues to be a challenge with some suggesting that relevant knowledge should be imparted in a wide range of classes. Of the many areas related to ERP systems, the ability of students to understand that different strategies of ERP implementation may be necessary in different scenarios is an important one, especially for those who may go on to manage such implementations.

A "one-medicine-does-not-cure-all-ailments" argument goes well with when it comes to ERP implementation strategies. Yet, mistakes and failures continue. Sorely needed is a teaching approach that can open the eyes of managers, present and future, to the different strategies to ERP success, and when a particular strategy is appropriate. With a good teaching approach with minimum three cases of examples could help the student identify the areas where a failure is bound to happen and may rectify it. It is also a must that each student is assigned to read only one of the three cases, lessening the total workload, but the students understand the differences in approaches and successes of ERP implementations related to all three cases.

If I was a customer…

2011-07-21T00:51:00.000-07:00

Not long time back, I was asked by a customer (Mr. Sandeep, Managing Director of P M Engineering), “Sudheer, if given a chance, what would you like to be”. Well, honestly at any given time I would still prefer to be a Computer geek.

But, then, I said, I would want to be “on the other side of the table” …be a customer and feel good about negotiating and making demands.

However, let me also own up that over a period of time I have become more of a sales man. I yet enjoy selling because selling also involves technical skills then just a shear marketing skill. Customers today have become far smarter than they had ever been in the history. Even if they may not have enough budget, yet they would still evaluate all ERP’s including SAP, ORACLE, RAMCO and other brands including ERESOURCE. It just reminds me about a potential prospect that I visited about a week back, the customer had evaluated all leading brands and said that we did liked the features of 2 other ERP’s, but I like your product because of the scalability that it offers. Probably, we demonstrated the scalability of eresource much better than any other ERP vendors.

Eresouce ERP is indeed a scalable ERP and can adapt to any business dynamics without much configuration or customization. Besides, it is a browser based ERP.

Mostly all customers ask me this question “eresource is a web based or browser based ERP” does that mean that Internet connection is required 24/7 to access your ERP. There is a misconception about Web based application that people have in their mind… Then, I have to tell them that the strength of browser based application lies in its flexibility to work on any environment, be it, LAN, WAN, Internet or Intranet.

It is like this, assuming the ERP server is deployed at the customer’s facility, then, the users of that facility would continue to work on LAN, and any other location outside the location of the customer would then access the ERP through Internet.

Well let me come back of what I would do if I was a customer to the ERP vendor. I would Map my business process with the ERP and understand the dynamics of the ERP so that I would configure all by myself to fit to my business function. If I encounter that there is a GAP which would not hamper me to GO-LIVE on the ERP, I would put my best foot forward to make sure that I GO-LIVE on as-is basis. Well, if the GAP is more than 20% then, I would out-rightly decline the ERP vendor and opt for somebody who is 90% close to my business requirements.

And during the GO-LIVE process, I would instruct the Vendor to configure/customize other elements. Given that approach, I know my implementation of ERP would still happen on time. Besides, ERP implementation is a persistent, consistent process over 6 months period. If I as a customer had to wait for 6 months for GO-LIVE or initiate the implementation process, then, I would probably be able to ripe the fruit as in the ROI may be after 3 years.

I believe there is nothing like doing it right… Important is doing it.

ERP Implementation is all about attitude.

2011-07-21T00:48:00.000-07:00

ERP Implementation is all about attitude, I tell you why?

10 on 10 successful and on-time implementation of ERP are because of positive approach and mindset of the users who are implementing the project. Let us all understand ERP implementation is not a Rocket Science and neither a BIG Challenge. ERP implementation is like any other task that you perform in your day-to-day doings. Generally, people have a mind-block even before the implementation process is initiated that ERP implementation is a HUGEEE challenge and frantic task.

Also, I have found that there are discomfort or sometimes fear in the mind of the Users, like, after ERP is implemented they may either lose their job or may become less indispensible. In my opinion discomfort or fear is the thought of the moment and that specific moment the users get those pessimistic possessions in the mind and delays the implementation. Given this situation, in my opinion, the Management and ERP Vendors should guide the USERS and help them know the benefits that they would enjoy after it is implemented. ERP implementation would help you gain operational excellence. Visibility of all strategic information will be available at one central market place therefore you can take your decision faster and many more.. I can go on.. and on.. and on….

Yes, I do agree during implementation there are initial work load, as in, updating the backlog, opening balances of your stocks, opening balances with bill wise break up of your debtors, creditors etc., Even to the extend these tasks can be directly migrated to the ERP system from your existing legacy system. Besides this workload, there is absolutely NO OTHER CHALLENGE.

Implementation of Timbor happened in 34 days, all ERP users stayed back late everyday for 34 days (till go-live). Management motivated all staff, took utmost care of their needs, from break-fast to dinner and incentives were provided.

Looking at the attitude and the energy of TIMBOR erp team, it reminds of the sher that Arun (my friend) had told me one day.. thought I should record it here.. It goes something like this

“khud ko kar buland itnaa..
ke himaalay ki choti pe jaa pahunche..
aur khuda tumse puche…
bol musafir, teri merzi kya hai?

Also, the management must motivate their employees. It is usual that things won’t change without some uneasiness, this is why companies should spend the time and money, training and testing their new systems with their employees, to encourage them to believe that the system will be working for them, to help streamline their processes and re-engineering outdated procedures, so overall the company will remain competitive and prosperous organization

If the mind-block is clear now then, I promise 10 on 10 Implementation can happen on-time, on-target and at the location parameter.

I am thrashing a fact about ERP VENDOR: ERP implementation is a hand-holding task. From the initiation, till the training, implementation and GO-LIVE, the vendors must hand-hold to make sure that the ERP Users are contented and there are no roadblocks.

Only negative attitude can bring an implementation down. ERP Implementation is all about attitude

Pharmaceutical ERP implementation at Record breaking time.

2011-07-21T00:45:00.000-07:00

First of all; before I start with this blog, I wish to thank the Employees of Sparsh Bio-Tech Pvt Ltd for making this really happen. Nalini Gadyale (Senior Consultant, eresource), I can never thank you enough for the uncanny support and commitment, without you, this would have never happened !. My special thanks to Devendra Chandel (Product Manager) eresource for his intelligence in architecting the Pharmaceutical ERP.

Sparsh Bio Tech Manufacturing Facility
I had always known that Implementing ERP for Pharmaceutical Company is a great challenge. Challenge not from the manufacturing process perspective, but from the regulatory and compliance perspective. Pharmaceutical Industry demands regulatory of compliance in each document. For example, the documentation and regulatory requirement for Product manufactured by the company (Ethical/Generic Product) is different from the Third Party manufacturing and Loan Licensing Manufacturing is different from the Generic manufacuturing and Third Party manufacturing. Simply put, the drug rule for different type of manufacturing type is different. Given that, Pharmaceutical ERP should be capable of handling all regulatory, statutory compliances easily and effectively.

I and my collegue Prasanna boarded the train for Jamnagar on 9th April 2011 for the Gap Assessment of ERP project for Sparsh Bio Tech. Sparsh Bio Tech is in the manufacturing of Tablets, Capsules and Powder drugs.

While I was at Borivali Station waiting for the Train to arrive, I called up Devendra and asked him if I could try Guerilla Implementation rather than following the standard Implementation process. Generally, Standard Implementation process takes about 4 to 6 months for the project to go-live. Guerilla Implementation is unconventional way, which means start the Implementation with what you have in store to offer and in the process, clear roadblock or bugs. Devendra confirmed that we can try this approach as everything that is required for Pharmaceutical company and drug rule is readily available in eresource ERP.

I had made my mind by now that I am going to try this, no matter what.

We arrived at Jamnagar on the 10th noon. I was eager about the Idea of GO-LIVE strategy, thus, did not spend much time in the hotel to freshen-up and straight marched at the customer’s Office.

It appeared that the team of Sparsh was eagerly waiting to receive the consultants (myself and Prassana) so that they could initiate the ERP Gap Assessment. Gap assessment is the first step towards the implementation of ERP. In the Gap assessment we understand the Gap between the ERP process and the process practiced by the customer. The Customer had their mind-set that the implementation would take about 6 months. I was received by Mr. Sushant Maru, Director of Sparsh and Mr. Jitendra Shah, Chief Financial Officer and Mr. Sunil Bhai, Administrative and IT officer. The core team members were then invited in the Conference to discuss the ERP kick-off meeting.

I demonstrated eresource Pharmaceutical ERP demo to all the staff and Department heads. From the expression of the team members, it appeared that they all liked the features and functions of eresource ERP. Taking the benefit of their expression, I proposed Sushant to allow me to initiate the Implementation and Go-live process with immediate effect, instead of the Standard Implementation approach (starting with gap assessment, design document creation, design sign off, User acceptance test, training, Implementation and then go-live).

I thank Sushant for the trust that he illustrated on me and allowing me to kick-start the ERP implementation from the DAY 1.

We started the implementation/Go-Live process from the day one. The staff of Sparsh were very co-operative, mainly Mr. Jitendra, Sunil Bhai, Ms. Dhara, Rounak, Mr. Mayekar, Deepak, Dilip and others.

I would be lying to you if I tell you that the implementation/ Go-Live process was smooth. There were indeed lot of obstacles, barrier, Bugs and other issues. But it was only because of Nalini and her team I was able to clear all those obstacles and roadblock and proceed with Implementation.

Team of Sparsh worked non-stop, including on holidays ,stayed late in the evening, worked extra hours to capture the back log entries. Finally, on the tenth day, we were LIVE on eresource ERP.

I think, this was just a beginning of new revolution in the ERP space.

scalable ERP system

2011-07-19T00:11:00.000-07:00

eresource ERP system said to be a scalable. Can you please elaborate

As this is one word you may be hearing from many quarters and have no idea what is it. Let us explain you with a simple example. Today you are company tomorrow you become an organization and then a group. You may want to increase your branch or your users on the system, eresource gives you the flexibility to scale the ERP whichever way that you wish.

Therefore it has been said that eresource ERP system is scalable where the system administrator can create new users, and there is no limit to the number of users created. However, the number of concurrent users is subject to the license restrictions.

ERP systems cater to the need of all departments

Different companies have different ERP requirements therefore there are many ways to implement a solution. But collectively the term ERP refers to large applications that replace a multitude of independent applications or legacy system of an organization which caters to the need of all departments.

Some companies limit the scope of their ERP software to a few vital applications that will help them streamline processes or make information more easily available. A company that wanted to just integrate accounting and finance with payroll, for example, also could use an ERP solution.

In such cases, organizations might prefer to use ERP to integrate certain systems and leave legacy systems in place that are better able to handle specific tasks.

ERP systems improve company's business performance

Enterprises Resource Planning (ERP) solution enables the task involved in performing a business process quickly and efficiently.

With ERP, when a customer service representative takes an order from a customer, he or she has all the necessary information to complete the order. Everyone else in the company sees the same computer screen and has access to the single database that holds the customer's new order. As and when a department completes their work with the order, it is automatically routed via the ERP system to the next department for the next process.

The order can be tracked any time of point by any department by logging into the system. The order process moves so quickly through the organization, and customers get their orders faster and with fewer errors than before. ERP can extent that application to the other major business process, such as employees' benefits or financial reporting.

eresource ERP for easy business operations

2011-07-19T00:10:00.000-07:00

Though it is commonly understood that an ERP system is important for an organization's business success, many people doesn't know why eresource ERP is an ideal application for many industries such as manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, automotive, modular kitchen, fleet management, construction, and oil and gas etc.

There are still some organizations that run on many kinds of software that do not allow interaction and also cannot be customized. Due to this they are not able to optimize their business activities. The engineering design of the software will be needed in order to improve the product, and to follow the client's behavior and choices since the first contact is quite important. Administration of the different receipts interdependence will be very complex, such as invoices regarding materials purchases, general expenditures or salaries.

All these operations can be made easy when you implement eresource ERP. The flow information is constant and allows you to follow a client's processes at any moment, no matter which part of the process they are going through.

ERP helps users to do their jobs better

2011-07-12T02:44:00.000-07:00

ERP implementation is a 'User Driven' project
Every organization has its own cultural or organizational structure. In this situation, it is natural for them to be sceptical about ERP, since it is felt that their businesses are unique, organizations varying and cultures different. However, there is no need of such concern as an ERP package has been designed and is being continually upgraded to incorporate the best industry practices to suit most industry segments.

With thorough and dedicated BRP study and adapting those changes in the business process well before implementing the ERP shall help make things smoother. It is therefore recommended that this methodology is followed; otherwise there is chance that most of the time users are left frustrated. This leads to poor participation and costly delays.

It is important to understand that an ERP package not necessarily fit in completely with the existing business practices of most organizations and hence, the onus is on the users to appreciate this fact and to work with the implementation consultants in trying to adapt to the package. In doing so, they don't have to feel that they are compromising on their business effectiveness; rather, by accepting the package, they are adopting the best of breed business practices and ensuring the successful implementation of new system.

The other important factor is that the users do not expect a reduction in their workload immediately after the implementation of ERP and should not look for a miracle to happen. An ERP package is only an enabling tool and improves the flow of information and formalizes all the business processes and workflow that exists in an organization. It helps users to do their jobs better, which may call for additional efforts.

If one has to have more information in a system, it entails more work for more users, but the benefit is that this information is properly stored and can be fruitfully uses by other users in making better decisions. As the flow of information throughout the organization improves, the company starts performing better and this in turn benefits the users who have collectively improved their way of working. The package design and the architecture facilitate the availability of information to all authorized users in a useful way.

Another important factor is the role of the consultant. The consultants by virtue of their industry experience and package expertise can help set the expectations of users at various levels keeping in mind the overall business objectives of the client. But it is also important to remember that a consultant is an external agent and all the business process of the organization is more akin to the management team and the users than the consultant. The consultant however, can work closely with key users, understanding their needs, analyzing the business realities and designing solutions that meet the basic objectives of the company.

They, then, have to impress upon the users that individual needs can be met by keeping the organization's needs in mind. It is the responsibility of the consultants and management team from the organization to guide them in this task and facilitate the overall implementation process. In essence, ERP implementation is predominantly a 'User Driven' project.

Employees are motivated to work through ERP

2011-07-12T02:43:00.000-07:00

Best practice of ERP is best suited for Lean organizations

THE world-class practice believes in the common language within an organization. This culture is predominantly observed in lean enterprises, thus resulting in the best fit for the ERP environment.

A lean organization has detailed specifications of all the actions required to bring a product from concept to launch, from order to delivery, and from raw materials to finished product that goes into the hands of the customer and throughout it useful life. This takes care of perfect and complete data sets availability to load into ERP for accurate estimations and recommendations.

The lean organization believes in absolutely flat organization structure with empowered employees. The structure is purely based on process, and for at all on functions. Every business process or sub-process exists to provide a needed product or service for a defined customer. These products and services are produced within the process according to the defined requirements, rules, or constrains.

The process requires materials and information, which are provided by suppliers, and consumes the resources allocated to the process. Since ERP conceptually integrates the process and not the functions, this process-based culture is the primary criteria for ERP fitness. The main job of ERP in such environment is to replace all these processes into a seamless flow of information.

ERP thus provides authority of getting all the information about the organization to all the users. No constraint like confidentiality, hierarchy, or authority exists. Hence the right of information seeking is never questioned. Every employee is motivated to browse, analyze and comment on the performance of the organization through the ERP system. Thus ERP expects an employee to be much more matured and accountable with resource of the organization.

ERP calls traditional purchase person as Buyer and a buyer is expected to have four types of skills like Technical skills, Commercial skills, Negotiation skills and Integrated planning skills.

ERP assumes this type of empowered people as users and then further helps them take accurate and cost effective decisions in their daily transactions and planning. The best practice of ERP here could be to share all the information of the organization to the entire set of users without any obstacles to facilitate both productive and best mixes of planning decisions.

Supply chain efficiency is also very important

2011-07-12T02:42:00.000-07:00

Significance of TQM in price sensitive automotive industry

AUTOMOTIVE sector has been dynamic in inventing new manufacturing strategies owning to prevailing high level of competition. With this scenario the challenges faced by Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) have also multiplied over the years.

Customers are demanding individualized final products. This is especially true of the OEM. While the organizations will have some standard base products, the total number of options that they have to offer to the consumers should be plenty. ERP will allow management of these configurations.

Through the supply chain there is need for innovation and new product development with much reduced life cycle for development. Hence, the NPI (New Product Introduction) will greatly help in promoting concurrent engineering.

Automotive industry is characterized by the presence of dedicated customer-supplier relationships and the competition in the market is between supply chains and not individual organizations. Hence, supply chain efficiency is thus very important. The principles of Just-in-Time (JIT), Lean Manufacturing and others become very important here. ERP will help in promoting these concepts.

Another challenge faced by automotive industry is the pressure to reduce delivery time and cost. A comprehensive supply chain solution that crosses the organization boundaries (B2B) is required. Different elements of the supply chain interact very closely.

Quality Management module with support for advanced features like TQM will help to promote quality at source. This receives significance owing to the continuous pressure exerted to cut cost and improve quality.

As the automotive market is extremely price sensitive, the features of comprehensive costing and kaizen costing will be of special relevance here. Understanding the accurate cost of manufacturing and identifying all potential areas for reduction of costs is one of the keys to success.

ERP software helps Process Industries keep pace with the changes

PROCESS industry sector such as Pharmaceutical, Chemical, Fertilizers, Pesticides and others are faced with new challenges and opportunities as they strive to keep pace with the rapid changes taking place worldwide in the Information Technology field.

Here are some of the challenges faced by process industry sector:

•The process of forecasting for these industries are quite complex as the same depends on season, market segment, brand etc. There is a strong requirement from the sophisticated forecasting system from the business application, which will be able to perform demand planning with the help of numerous statistical models.
•Process industry is characterized by the presence of items, which have both Dependent and Independent demand. Managing production of those items is a big challenge.
•Quality at source is extremely important. ERP can help in this regard by making integrated sophisticated quality management modules, which monitor quality by use of control plans in purchasing and manufacturing.
•There is a strong requirement for a comprehensive 'yield monitoring system'. Here, the use of ERP becomes very effective since, business application can perform online yield monitoring with drill down facilities to quickly diagnose causes of variances (like root cause of low yield and scenario creation for identifying the right improvement initiatives).
•The completion of new product development projects may take years. The ability of business applications to help in concurrent engineering and efficient project management will not only help to crash the development time but will also help closely monitoring such initiatives.
•Being asset intensive, process industries are in great need of business applications, which will help in incorporating modern maintenance management techniques. This will increase the uptime of equipments while increasing the overall health of the machineries.
•From the delivery side they are normally characterized by an extensive distribution system such as having many depots, dealers etc. The new generation business applications can influence the management of stock at these stock points by minimizing stock outs and reducing the overall inventory levels. Sometimes, the stocks in the distribution network are a cause of considerable worry for the organizations. Managing the inbound and outbound logistics becomes a key challenge.
Eresource ERP is equipped with suitable modules to meet all the challenges faced by process industry sector. Eresource ERP meets its customers' need by providing cost-effective solutions without any compromise on quality, performance and functionality.

Manufacturers have a better-than-ever chance

2011-07-12T02:39:00.000-07:00

With eresource ERP solution, manufacturing is a global business

SPEED of information flow has made manufacturing a global business. Coupled with advertising, the ability to move information at the speed of light has opened up all corners of the globe to makers of all products.

The computer has changed the way we conduct our businesses. It has also allowed small companies to become giants in their industries by giving them the greatest. Mid-sized companies have access to the same quality of information as the giants in their fields. The question is no longer, where can I get the information I need? The question is now, what do I do with all the information I have?

There are many computer programs designed to convert data into information, usually for a specific purpose or function. Shop floor workers need one level of information, in real-time, about the process or production; executives need a different view of that data for long-range planning and short-term deployment. Same data; different information.

Data mining and data warehousing applications involve this aspect of information development. Databases are becoming larger and larger as companies find more and more data to store.

Answering that call, software developers have looked for ways to bring many divergent requirements under a single, if huge, umbrella program called enterprise resource planning or ERP. What ERP strives to do is combine the needed functions of every application a company requires to do its job and integrate them all together.

ERP allows companies to balance customer demands impacted by multiple interrelated items and multiple plant locations. ERP adds applications for financials, supply chain, and distribution and requirements planning for multiple sites. It facilitates intelligent resource planning in the face of rapidly changing constraints such as materials availability, market readiness, plant capacities, personnel certification and business costs per location. In short ERP systems will allow decision makers to champion 'an intelligent, agile and responsive organization in the global marketplace of the next century.'

In modern manufacturing operations, information starts at the top and the bottom simultaneously. Data originates at the machines, the process and the workers. It indicates what is being made, how and where, when it will be done, and why it won't be on time.

ERP also can make a difference at the shipping and distribution end of a company. Shipments can go direct, and are therefore smaller and cheaper. In addition, there's no need to stock materials or finished units, so stocks don't become obsolete and have to be written off.

Even before the manufacturing operation gets involved, information is necessary, such as in the sales effort. As the pace of the typical sales cycle increases and the ability to access more information increases, information systems must be able to keep pace and even improve the process. The most valuable information to our overseas people is product and customer information. It is exceedingly important for all sales people to have a complete view of all activity that occurs with a customer. This would typically include sales history, but now must include trouble calls, service requests, repairs and any other activity from general questions to product inquiries.

ERP is not confined within the walls of a single entity. With the web-enabled ERP such as eresource ERP, data flows go out to suppliers and vendors, customers and prospects. What you find out can be shared with another person or even millions of people at the same time you learn it yourself. Design and product development can be a collaborative process without barriers of space and time. Groupware, data management and communications combine to allow everyone to sit in the same office, regardless of where they are physically located.

eresource Infotech's web-based ERP and its e-mail alert capabilities have exploded onto the scene as mandatory business requirements. It has helped even the playing field to a point where the size of a company is far less apparent and in some cases unimportant. The Web-based ERP offers a great resource and network capability that allows to puts more product information and customer service information in the hands of customer. The organization can also offer direct ordering of products and services and traditional order management services through the Web-based ERP and improve the customer interaction. This should ultimately lessen the cost per order and allows the organization to focus more on customer grievances and less on traditional tasks.

Thanks to the emergence of cutting-edge global IT solutions such as ERP, manufacturers have a better-than-ever chance of keeping up with the increasing demands their customers are putting on them.

Workshop on ERP to guide how to run a successful business

2011-07-10T23:11:00.000-07:00

Empowering decision-makers with ERP technology concepts

WE have, time and again emphasized the importance of having ERP system to run businesses in successful way in today's competitive economic market. As there are number of big and small vendors in the Indian ERP market, selection of a proper system that suits your business needs are very important. To place the matter straight forward, what the decision makers must understand is having an ERP system just can't help your business process. What is important is which system you have implemented.

A rightfully conducted ERP workshop could provide you the guidelines of what your requirements and expectations should be, including hands-on experience with the most successful ERP solutions available in India today.

ERP workshop can also empower CEOs, COOs, CFOs, accountants, controllers, business owners and key decision-makers with ERP technology concepts.

CRM or Customer Relationship Management, the backbone of any business has been integrated as an important module in the ERP system. Sales and marketing teams from companies can benefit from attending the workshop that will help them gain knowledge in marketing plans. The knowledge gained through from workshop can put into practice by the sales or marketing team with the approach to the customers that could help improve your revenue and market share growth and minimize expenses - all of which leads to higher profitability. The workshop will also debate on all areas of an ERP system, its advantages and disadvantages. When it comes to benefits of ERP there are many arenas which are unknown to many. ERP expects boundary-less flat organization structure where every employee is a decision maker and not a mere follower. Secondly, the decision-making must be scientific than based on 'gut feel'. Thirdly, ERP assumes that the user has an in-depth knowledge of the process he is associated with. He has to work in a team as a key resource element. The objective of the user is to pass maximum value to the customer than to create his own convenience. The user must be analytical in his thinking and be able to use information generated through data iterations for more effective and informed decisions.

ERP system will work successfully if the users are training to handle the system to the optimum usage. Proper training makes the users fully equipped with handling of the system independently and this will contribute the success of all the business operations.

The solution provider must pay attention while providing training to the user in the right manner. To become a good user, one has to get trained and trained well, and later self trained. But what is the disappointing factor is most of the ERP training in India is more of software training rather than going deeply into the functionality and technicality of the ERP system. Normally the user is shown various screens of the ERP system and taught how to enter what he was doing previously.

The trainer must explain to the user why he should enter there, what are the repercussions of his entries in other modules, how to use the best out of multiple settings, why a particular setting is made like that, etc. In fact, the reality that every entry is the financial entry and ultimately gets posted into General Ledger and posted in turn into Profit & Loss Account or Balance Sheet is never realized by the user during training or even after implementation. This feel of responsibility is extremely essential for the user to become a mature ERP user.

To enhance the interest of users Indian companies must make a point of user training, focusing on ERP functionalities and not merely on tools for ERP. Ideally, the training session should be designed to cater to individual needs and hence carefully planned. ERP workshop will have a separate session to discuss and elaborate the training method of ERP extensively.

Looking at the way it is getting organized, the workshop on ERP on July 31, 2011 at Wagle Estate in Thane, will be very informative and useful event for the people who are connected with IT world. We are also eagerly looking forward to that event.
