39 ERP system contd.. ERP is a commodity --product in the form of software SAP, Oracle Applications, PeopleSoft, JD Edwards, Greatplainsetc. are world s leading ERP packages The market leader is SAP 39

40 Features of an ERP system Architecture of ERP system facilitates transparent integration of modules providing flow of information between all function within enterprise in real time. Many different software are replaced by one integrated system. Reliable information access through common DBMS Eliminates data and operational redundancies (no duplication of work or data entries etc.) 40

41 Features of an ERP system contd.. Cost reduction through time saving, improved control by organizational wise analysis of organizational decisions. Delivery and cycle time reduction Scalable systems Global outreach through extended modules such as CRM or SCM E-Business Providing business solutions in support of core processes Process-oriented view cutting across functions of an enterprise Huge potential for customizing 41

42 Business and Technical Benefits Automation of business transactions Flexibility in changing the system catering to newer business processes. Coordination across business functions Coordination across geographical distances resulting in better Managerial control Consistent information and interface thus easier to understand and work in Single system 42

43 Prime Reasons for Implementing ERP Need for common platform Process improvement. Data visibility that could be used to improve operating decisions. Operation cost reductions. Increased customer responsiveness. Improved strategic decision making Personal Improvement 43

44 Knowledge Management Knowledge management is the process of capturing, distributing, and effectively using knowledge. So it s a discipline that promotes an integrated approach to identifying, capturing, evaluating, retrieving, and sharing all of an enterprise's information assets. These assets may include databases, documents, policies, procedures, and previously un-captured expertise and experience in individual workers. 44

45 Explicit, Implicit and Tacit Knowledge Explicit: information or knowledge that is set out in tangible form. Implicit: information or knowledge that is not set out in tangible form but could be made explicit. Tacit: information or knowledge that one would have extreme difficulty operationally setting out in tangible form. 45

46 Customer Relationship Management (CRM) Customer relationship management (CRM) refers to the practices, strategies and technologies that companies use to manage, record and evaluate customer interactions in order to drive sales growth by deepening and enriching relationships with their customer bases. 46

47 The CRM Strategy The CRM strategy allows you to following: Understand the customer Retain customers through better customer experience Attract new customers Win new clients and contracts Increase profitably Decrease customer management costs 47

48 The Impact of Technology on CRM Technology and the Internet have changed the way companies approach customer relationship strategies. Advances in technology have changed consumer buying behavior, and today there are many ways for companies to communicate with customers and to collect data about them. With each new advance in technology especially the proliferation of self-service channels like the Web and smartphones customer relationships are being managed electronically. 48

49 The Benefits of CRM The biggest benefit most businesses realize when moving to a CRM system comes directly from having all your business data stored and accessed from a single location. Before CRM systems, customer data was spread out over office productivity suite documents, systems, mobile phone data and even paper note cards and Rolodex entries 49

50 Storing all the data from all departments (e.g., sales, marketing, customer service and HR) in a central location gives management and employees immediate access to the most recent data when they need it. Departments can collaborate with ease, and CRM systems help organization to develop efficient automated processes to improve business processes. 50

51 Other benefits include a 360-degree view of all customer information, knowledge of what customers and the general market want, and integration with your existing applications to consolidate all business information. 51

52 Electronic Commerce Electronic Commerce (EC) is where business transactions take place via telecommunications networks, especially the Internet. Electronic commerce describes the buying and selling of products, services, and information via computer networks including the Internet. The infrastructure for EC is a networked computing environment in business, home, and government. E-Business describes the broadest definition of EC. It includes customer service and intrabusinesstasks. It is frequently used interchangeably with EC. 52

53 The Driving Forces of Electronic Commerce The New World of Business Business pressures Organizational responses The role of Information Technology (including electronic commerce) 53

54 Electronic Commerce Terms Business-to-business (B2B) Businesses make online transactions purchases with other business Business-to-consumer (B2C) Online transactions between businesses and consumers Consumer-to-Consumer (C2C) Online auctions, posting to newspaper sites, personal websites, e-commerce portals 54

55 Electronic Commerce Terms (cont.) Pure vs. Partial EC: based on the degree of digitization of Product Process Delivery agent Traditional commerce: all dimensions are physical Pure EC: all dimensions are digital Partial EC: all other possibilities include a mix of digital and physical dimensions 55

56 The Dimensions of E-Commerce 56
