QUESTION 1
ReplyDeleteThe factors will contribute to difficulty in implementing enterprise system in organization the first is expertise in computer and technology, not at all employee or workers have knowledge to handling computer and technology was involve enterprise system in organization, so that, organization need to train all employee to make sure this system will be use with correctly and effective its will make difficulty enterprise system implanting in organization. Secondly factors that contribute to difficulty enterprise system implementing in organization is cost, where all part of software and technology sophisticated need high investment also expensive to get in and apply in organization, to make all process enterprise system run with smoothly, organization must complete all the thing technology so workers can doing their job without any interfaces and the result was get is accurate and immediately solving the problem. The third factors will become contribute to difficulty enterprise system implement in organization is wrong Select functions of system they wish to use, where the first thing organization have to do when using enterprise system in organization is need to determine what are function system they want to use example department of Human resource focus on jobs skill, hours worked, department on financial and accounting is customer credit, revenue. It must be determined with correctly so, duplicate and overlapping of each of function of department will occur so it will difficulty and inefficiently to apply enterprise system in organization.
QUESTION 2
a) The benefits of enterprise system firstly is increase of operational efficiency where all department are combine, that will produce and make improvement of idea and solution for every problem are countered. Second are enabled rapid responses to customer request for information or product it’s because every information or complaint entered in one process is immediately available for other processes so, it’s not take long time to response question to customer or supplier. Lastly but not least is Include analytical tools to evaluate overall organizational performance so, will reduce cost for make evaluation performance and given accurate result to achievement organization.
b) The challenge of enterprise system is firstly cost Enterprise systems, such as Customer Relations Management and Enterprise Resource Planning, incur exorbitant costs. Purchasing the software architecture, implementing it, and training staff are some of the overheads incurred, in terms of both money and time. Enterprise systems do not always yield anticipates benefits, thus creating a risk of double losses. In addition that is storage challenges generally, enterprise systems have a lifespan of 10 to 20 years, after which point they can be upgraded. Although this might seem like a long time, data within organizations accumulates exponentially and may prove too difficult to manage and store using a single software system. Data overflow and a subsequent slowdown in one department will certainly have a ripple effect in other functions of an organization.

1. Describe THREE (3) factors that contribute to the difficulty of implementing enterprise systems within an organization. (10 Marks)
ReplyDeleteAnswer = the first factor is technology implementation. Data conversion is poorly executed, Quality of migration support, Operator error while executing transaction, Software bugs or data errors, Too difficult to learn and use in reasonable amount of time, Not smart enough to understand the system advantages, Difficulty in executing new processes. second factor is User involvement
and training. Users are not adequately trained to use the ERP system, Lack of internal expertise and skill set, Creating political problem with some users by changing
political or work distribution in organization, Inattention to work with the new system, Failure to check unauthorized access to information, Large R&D effort as percentage of revenues. the third factor is Project management. Implementation is poorly executed, Budget overrun, and Time overrun.
2.a) What are the benefits of enterprise systems? (5 Marks)
Answer = Enterprise systems also commonly known as ES are comprehensive, large scale application-software packages, which use powers of present day information technology (IT) for supporting processes, reporting, data analysis and information flows. These IT powers include data storage, computational, and data transmission and are done between and within complex organizations. Enterprise systems can be briefly called as packaged enterprise application software (PEAS) systems and is a perfect combination of adjectives, like “enterprise”, “packaged”, and “application”. Enterprise systems is a broad term and includes Enterprise resource planning (ERP), Supply Chain Management (SCM) and Customer Relationship Management (CRM). There are many benefits of employing an enterprise system in an organization. Some of these benefits include: Integrated organizational system. Improved data entry.Incorporation of best practices.Flow of information.Improved customer satisfactionReduced inventory costs. Improved collections.Improved costing Improved planning.
b) What are the challenges of enterprise systems? (5 Marks)
Answer = first challenges is delivering flexibility. stems from the way Enterprise Systems
manufacturing companies are being forced to respond to fast changes in customer
requirements and technology. second challenges is managing configuration complexity. most elements of the systems configuration – the hardware,
operating system, database and storage, and applications, were simple and easily
tied together in one system. And the last challengers is optimally servicing the installed equipment base. optimally servicing the installed equipment base, revolves
around the difficult task of support and warranties and servicing them cost-effectively,
both proactively and creatively.

QUESTION 1
ReplyDelete3 FACTORS INCLUDES:
1. Project management
Project cost and time overruns can occur because of lack of a measurement system for assessing and controlling project risk.
2. Social commitment
Risk factors and risk outcomes need to take into
account distinctive human and organizational practices and patterns of belief and action, as well as traditional project-related factors. Some workers are not giving their full contribution and commitment to the organization.
3. Skill mix
Lack of expertise, including lack of development expertise,lack of application-special knowledge and lack of user experience, contributes to project risk.
QUESTION 2
i) BENEFITS OF ENTERPRISE SYSTEM
Enterprise systems integrate the firm's key business processes in sales, production, finance, logistics, and human resources into a single software system so that information can flow throughout the organization, improving coordination, efficiency, and decision making.
These systems help create a more uniform organization in which everyone uses similar processes and information, and measures their work in terms of organization-wide performance standards. The coordination of the firm's key business processes allows the firm to respond more rapidly to customer demands.
ii) CHALLENGES OF ENTERPRISE SYSTEM
One challenge is the expense of purchasing, installing, and maintaining the hardware and software that enables the enterprise system. second challenge is it requires fundamental changes in terms of technology, business process and organizational changes. the third challenges is it requires data standardization, management and cleansing frequently.

Question 1) the three factor that contribute to the difficulty of implementing enterprise system?
ReplyDeleteA) Engineering Challenges,Enterprise infrastructure is a highly connected infrastructure therefore, we need a way to manage the complex dependencies that exist between the physical infrastructure, applications, and business processes.
B)Operational Challenges
The biggest operational challenge is knowledge management, and the ability to deal with rapid change of technology and applications. The most teething operational problem is to learn to deal with change management, release management, and constant change and upgrades to the environment. Managing downtimes of systems and creating effective process guidelines for different areas of applications management are central to operational success.
C)Technical Challenges
the major technical challenge is to integrate various processes, measurements, tools, diagnostic models, and reporting systems into a unified architecture and create a service management platform. This type of platform cannot be put together by buying some products and tools together or by putting together some ITIL processes
Question 2
A)what are the benefits of enterprise system
Enterprise systems integrate the firm's key business processes in sales, production, finance, logistics, and human resources into a single software system so that information can flow throughout the organization, improving coordination, efficiency, and decision making.
These systems help create a more uniform organization in which everyone uses similar processes and information, and measures their work in terms of organization-wide performance standards.
B)what are the challenges of enterprise system
A) challenges involved in producing Enterprise software,Security, similar to Data Integrity. Enterprise applications must be particularly secure as they may have large usernames, amongst whom exploits can spread quickly. A medical record system is a good example of an enterprise application in which security is paramount.Persistent data and Data integrity, Enterprise applications usually deal with vital data that must be treated with care and Complex business rules ,businesses can have very complex rules that must be modeled in the enterprise application. Capturing these requirements can be incredibly challenging.

QUESTION1
ReplyDeleteEnterprise resource planning (ERP) allows companies to integrate all their operations and resources and manage them through one program. It also helps to increase production levels and to control costs more efficiently, and this means that it will be able to control the whole enterprise more efficiently. THREE(3) factors that contribute to the difficulties in implementing ERP in an organization are,
1. The system can only be customized to a very limited extent. It is very rigid and very difficult to adapt to. The system is very expensive to set up. Also once the system is set up switching costs are very high. All these factors reduce the demand for an ERP system but do so only slightly.
2. Implementing an ERP could be expensive, that only big organizations can reach it.
3. ERP takes time and generates deep changes in the way you do business. Most ERP experts estimate that the total time required for a successful implementation can take from 18 to 24 months.
QUESTION2
a) Benefits of enterprise system
Integrated organizational system helps in streamlining of organizational processes and workflow, resulting in improved efficiency.
There is proper sharing of information across all departments of an organization, leading to improved interdepartmental communication and better employee performance.
As all employees have access to requisite information, the workflow improves, resulting in on-time delivery of desired goods and services to the customers. The resultant improved quality and reduced delivery times help in developing high customer satisfaction.
Improved visibility into accounts and fewer billing and delivery errors result in faster and improved collections.
Improved planning, the management is able to get a consolidated picture of inventory, sales, and receivables. This helps them in making better plans for the working of the organization.
b) Challenges
delivering flexibility, enterprise systems manufacturing companies are being forced to respond to fast changes in customer requirements and technology. This has placed huge demands on the flexibility of supply chain systems.
configuration complexity. Before then, most elements of the systems configuration, the hardware, operating system, database and storage, and applications were simple and easily
tied together in one system. Now, the typical configuration consists of several separate mini-systems.
optimally servicing the installed equipment base, revolves around the difficult task of support and warranties and servicing them costeffectively, both proactively and reactively. The installed base is a huge potential source of upgrade revenue, especially for software upgrades.

b)Challenges of enterprise system.
1.Costs
Enterprise systems, such as Customer Relations Management and Enterprise Resource Planning, incur exorbitant costs. Purchasing the software architecture, implementing it, and training staff are some of the overheads incurred, in terms of both money and time. Enterprise systems do not always yield anticipates benefits, thus creating a risk of double losses. The maturity period required to see the benefits of these systems may be as lengthy as three years.
2.Storage Challenges
Generally, enterprise systems have a lifespan of 10 to 20 years, after which point they can be upgraded. Although this might seem like a long time, data within organizations accumulates exponentially and may prove too difficult to manage and store using a single software system. Data overflow and a subsequent slowdown in one department will certainly have a ripple effect in other functions of an organization.

Question 1
ReplyDeleteThe 3 factor that contribute to the difficulty of implementing enterprise systems within an organization:
(i) Enterprise systems software is expensive.
Systems are expensive and consequently require complex decision-making processes to purchase them. An even more substantial amount of business cost is typically spent on consulting to overcome difficult software implementation.
(ii) Poor planning or poor management
Change in business goals during project and lack of business management support. Companies spent large money in developing ERP systems that are not utilized. From a software perspective ERP systems is complete. But from the business perspective it is found that software and business processes needs to be aligned, which involves a mixture of business process design and software configurations. So a purely technical approach to ERP system design is insufficient. ERP systems usually effect the whole organization. As such, requires a combination of technical and human expertise to select, develop and implement successfully.
(iii) There have been many reported failures of ERP implementations. Examples include companies such as FoxMeyer Drugs, Applied Materials, Hershey, Mobil Europe, and Dow Chemicals. For the reasons that ERP systems touch so many aspects of a company’s internal and external operations, their successful deployment and use are critical to organizational performance and survival.

(b) The challenge of enterprise systems is in delivering flexibility, stems from the way Enterprise Systems manufacturing companies are being forced to respond to fast changes in customer requirements and technology. This has placed huge demands on the flexibility of supply chain systems. Key issues revolve around managing outsourced manufacturing partners and suppliers, product transition (NPI, new products introduction), exception handling and change management in orders, forecasting for capacity planning and long-lead time components, product quality amongst others. The Enterprise systems, such as Customer Relations Management and Enterprise Resource Planning, incur exorbitant costs also is the challenges in enterprise systems. Purchasing the software architecture, implementing it, and training staff are some of the overheads incurred, in terms of both money and time. Enterprise systems do not always yield anticipates benefits, thus creating a risk of double losses. The maturity period required to see the benefits of these systems may be will be lengthy.

But from the business perspective it is found that software and business processes needs to be aligned, which involves a mixture of business process design and software configurations. So a purely technical approach to ERP system design is insufficient. ERP systems usually effect the whole organization. As such, requires a combination of technical and human expertise to select, develop and implement successfully.
(c) There have been many reported failures of ERP implementations. Examples include companies such as FoxMeyer Drugs, Applied Materials, Hershey, Mobil Europe, and Dow Chemicals. For the reasons that ERP systems touch so many aspects of a company’s internal and external operations, their successful deployment and use are critical to organizational performance and survival.
Q2) There are many benefits of employing an enterprise system in an organization. Some of these benefits include : 1. Integrated organizational system.
Enterprise system leads to the development of an integrated system within the organization. This helps in streamlining of organizational processes and workflow, resulting in improved efficiency.
2. Improved data entry.
Due to the integration of all systems in an organization, there is little or no entry of redundant data and processes throughout the system.
3. Incorporation of best practices.
The establishment of the enterprise systems in an organization results in the incorporation of best industry practices, leading to an overall improvement in the working of the organization.
Q3) Storage Challenges
Generally, enterprise systems have a lifespan of 10 to 20 years, after which point they can be upgraded. Although this might seem like a long time, data within organizations accumulates exponentially and may prove too difficult to manage and store using a single software system. Data overflow and a subsequent slowdown in one department will certainly have a ripple effect in other functions of an organization.

ReplyDeleteQUESTION 1
ReplyDeleteTHREE FACTORS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO THE DIFFICULTY OF IMPLEMENTING ENTERPRISE SYSTEMS WITHIN AN ORGANIZATION.
(i) Project management
-Project cost and time overruns can occur because of lack of a measurement system for assessing and controlling project risk.
(ii) Social commitment
-Risk factors and risk outcomes need to take into account distinctive human and organizational practices and patterns of belief and action, as well as traditional project-related factors. Some workers are not giving their full contribution and commitment to the organization.
(iii) Skill mix
-Lack of expertise, including lack of development expertise, lack of application-special knowledge and lack of user experience, contributes to project risk.
QUESTION 2
(a) BENEFITS OF ENTERPRISE SYSTEMS?
-Enterprise systems integrate the firm's key business processes in sales, production, finance, logistics, and human resources into a single software system so that information can flow throughout the organization, improving coordination, efficiency, and decision making.
These systems help create a more uniform organization in which everyone uses similar processes and information, and measures their work in terms of organization-wide performance standards. The coordination of the firm's key business processes allows the firm to respond more rapidly to customer demands.
(b) CHALLENGES OF ENTERPRISE SYSTEM
-One challenge is the expense of purchasing, installing, and maintaining the hardware and software that enables the enterprise system. second challenge is it requires fundamental changes in terms of technology, business process and organizational changes. the third challenges is it requires data standardization, management and cleansing frequently.

- busniess risk drive from the models artifact, and process that are chosen and adopted as a part of implementation.
b)) organization risk
-drive from the environment including personnel and organizational structure in which the system is chosen and implemented.
c)Costs
Enterprise systems, such as Customer Relations Management and Enterprise Resource Planning, incur exorbitant costs. Purchasing the software architecture, implementing it, and training staff are some of the overheads incurred, in terms of both money and time. Enterprise systems do not always yield anticipates benefits, thus creating a risk of double losses. The maturity period required to see the benefits of these systems may be as lengthy as three years.

Three difficulty implementing enterprise system:
ReplyDeletea) Enterprise system software is complex and also has many significant implications for staff work practices. Implementing the software is a too difficult task and most worker does not know how to handle the system because they not having the knowledge to implementing this enterprise system.
b) The cost of enterprise system are expensive. For a small company, this would be not appropriate and suitable to use this system. Mostly only huge company can effort to use this system.
c) The lack of expertise to using this enterprise system. It is need to have expertise in a company who using enterprise system, because they the only one can handle this high technologies of system. Besides that, the expertise should have the skill and knowledge to handle this system.
Benefit of enterprise system:
- The benefit of this is it can improved planning. The management is able to get a consolidated picture of inventory, sales, and receivables. This helps them in making better plans for the working of the organization. It also can improved costs of company. The application of enterprise systems helps in the proper racing of actual costs of all activities. This helps in performing activity based costing, which is bring beneficial to the organization
Challenging of enterprise system:
- The challenge of enterprise system is the storage challenge. Enterprise systems may have lifespan of 10 to 20 years, after which point they can be upgraded. Although this might seem like a long time, data within organizations accumulates exponentially and may prove too difficult to manage and store using a single software system. Another challenge is expense of purchasing, installing, and maintaining the hardware and software that enables the enterprise system.

ReplyDeleteFREDELIA FREDOLEN (KK 1190292)
ReplyDeleteAnswer question 1
1)Poor leadership from top management.
--->If top management is not strongly committed to the
system, does not foresee and plan for the profound changes necessitated by ERP, or does not
actively participate in the implementation, the implementation has a high likelihood of failure. The
implementation of ERP must be viewed by top management as a transformation in the way the
company does business
2) Unrealistic expectations.
--->Many companies grossly underestimate the amount of resources,
time, and outside assistance required to implement and run the new system. Moreover, managers
and workers frequently assume that performance will begin to improve immediately Because the
new system is complex and difficult to master, organizations must be prepared for an initial
decline in productivity after the new software is put into operation. As familiarity with the new
system increases, the expected improvements will come. But management must be prepared for
initial waves of frustration.
3) Inaccurate data.
--->Data entered into an ERP system may be used throughout the organization.
Because of the integrated nature of ERP, if inaccurate data is entered into the common database,
the erroneous data may have a negative domino effect throughout the enterprise. Inaccurate data
can lead to errors in market planning, production planning, material procurement, capacity
acquisition, and the like. If a company with inaccurate data just forges ahead under the
assumption that data errors will be corrected when they are spotted, the ERP will lose credibility
This encourages people to ignore the new system and continue to run the company under the old
system.
Answer question 2
a)Managerial benefit. managers find it less hectic to oversee operation and to ensure that key business objective through enterprise system, because they are able to access information from a centralized server. managers find that the decision making process becomes more informed and yields better result.
b)DELIVERING FLEXIBILITY.
---> stem from the way enterprise system manufacturing companies are being forced to respond to fast changes in customers requirement and technologies. this has placed huge demand on the flexibility of supply chain system. key issues revolve around managing outsourced manufacturing partners and supplies, product transition, exception handling and change management in order, forecasting for capacity planning and long-lead time components,product quality amongst others.
1.The three factors that contribute to the difficulty of implementing enterprise systems within an organization is a bad system. This category includes lack of needed ERP functionality, system performance problems, lack of scalability, system bugs, and ERP processes that don't match business processes. For example, the system might lock up whenever two users attempt to update the same customer master record.
ReplyDeleteHence the organization has a good system, but set it up incorrectly. These problems include incorrect configuration settings and other problems with how the implementation was performed. For example, users might be complaining that product costs are not accurate, but the company has not set up the system with cost elements that are detailed enough. Or, users might be complaining that inventory counts are inaccurate, but the system has been set up with one big "four wall" inventory bucket, instead of bin location level tracking.
Lastly, has a good system, but not using it. Examples could be that the original implementation was incomplete, or that the implementation was broken into phases and Phase II was never started. Other times, the problem is ignorance. It's surprising how often companies don't know what features they have in the software they already own. I have seen companies buy additional point solutions, or modify their systems, all the while their original system could have provided the same functionality, if they had just looked for it.
2.a)Firstly, the benefit of enterprise system is suite of integrated software modules and a common central database. Second is collects data from many divisions of firm for use in nearly all of firm’s internal business activities. And lastly is information entered in one process is immediately available for other processes.
b) There are three main challenges in enterprise system which is the first one are the technology changes, as time goes by the current technology will be up gradated. Business processes changes, for this the process of business means is a series of steps designed to produce a product or services. An organizational change is the companies that are undergoing or that have undergone a transformation.

Question 1.
ReplyDelete(i) Management structure and strategy - the risks associated with customer mandate, which deals with a lack of senior management commitment. A lack of agreement on a set of project goals/objectives and lack of senior management involvement. The goal failures (inadequate statement of system goals) and organizational failures (lack of leadership).
(ii) Technology planning - contribute to the cancellation of IS development projects, pointed out that lack of adequate technical expertise and lack of an adequate technology infrastructure for supporting project requirements contribute to escalating time and cost overruns and are associated with project abandonment. The risk factors include technological newness (need for new hardware and software), application size (project scope, number of users and team diversity), application complexity (technical complexity and links to existing legacy systems) and failure of technology to meet specifications .
(iii) User involvement and training - Lack of user commitment, ineffective communications with users and conflicts among user departments are all sources of risk to implementing enterprise systems.
Question 2.
a) The benefits of enterprise systems:
i. Operational Benefits -Organizations implement enterprise systems with the purpose of synchronizing the functions of different departments. Information visibility and transparency within an organization is a benefit that facilitates the different operations carried out by the various departments.
ii. Managerial Benefits - Managers find it less hectic to oversee operations and to ensure that key business objectives are achieved through enterprise systems. Because they are able to access information from a centralized server, managers find that the decision-making process becomes more informed and yields better results.
iii. Costs - Enterprise systems, such as Customer Relations Management and Enterprise Resource Planning, incur exorbitant costs. Purchasing the software architecture, implementing it, and training staff are some of the overheads incurred, in terms of both money and time. Enterprise systems do not always yield anticipates benefits, thus creating a risk of double losses.
b) The challenges of enterprise systems:
i. First challenge: delivering flexibility - Enterprise Systems manufacturing companies are being forced to respond to fast changes in customer requirements and technology. This has placed huge demands on the flexibility of supply chain systems.
ii. Second challenge: managing configuration complexity - the typical configuration consists of several separate mini-systems. For example, a complex high-end server solution has separate storage area networks, networking equipment, and software stacks for the middleware, database, portals, application servers and web servers.
iii. Third challenge: optimally servicing the installed equipment base - revolves around the difficult task of support and warranties and servicing them cost effectively, both proactively and reactively. The installed base is a huge potential source of upgrade revenue, especially for software upgrades.

1) Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is a system that effectively maintains a centralized source of information that would collect data from all components and then standardize, collate and integrate it.
ReplyDeletei. First factor is the poor understanding of the system. Implementing ERP typically requires changes in existing business process and poor understanding in implementation is a main reason for the project failure.
ii. Second factor is the decentralized organization. ERP implementation is more difficult in decentralized organization because they often have different process, business rules, authorization hierarchies etc.
iii. Third factor is the lack of training. Poor skills in implementing ERP will cause the system to be dysfunctional.
2)
a) The benefits are in the term of distributing information, the distribution will be more effective, encouraging collaborative work, integrating with enterprise applications, supporting customers, suppliers and employee and lastly improving the communication flow.
b) The challenges are since the enterprise system involving the integration of several systems then more data are hold. This will need more storage for the data. Another challenge is the expenses for the ERP for its purchasing, installing and maintaining the hardware and software that enables the ERP to function well.

1. The first factor is technology implementation. Data conversion is poorly executed, Quality of migration support, Operator error while executing transaction, Software bugs or data errors, Too difficult to learn and use in reasonable amount of time, Not smart enough to understand the system advantages, Difficulty in executing new processes. second factor is User involvement
ReplyDeleteand training. Users are not adequately trained to use the ERP system, Lack of internal expertise and skill set, Creating political problem with some users by changing
political or work distribution in organization, Inattention to work with the new system, Failure to check unauthorized access to information, Large R&D effort as percentage of revenues. the third factor is Project management. Implementation is poorly executed, Budget overrun, and Time overrun.
2a. Enterprise systems integrate the firm's key business processes in sales, production, finance, logistics, and human resources into a single software system so that information can flow throughout the organization, improving coordination, efficiency, and decision making.
These systems help create a more uniform organization in which everyone uses similar processes and information, and measures their work in terms of organization-wide performance standards. The coordination of the firm's key business processes allows the firm to respond more rapidly to customer demands.
2b. There are three main challenges in enterprise system which is the first one are the technology changes, as time goes by the current technology will be up gradated.

Nazmi Zulelwi Josit (KK1050060)
1. a) Expertise in computer and technology, not at all employee or workers have knowledge to handling computer and technology was involve enterprise system in organization, so that, organization need to train all employee to make sure this system will be used with correctly and effective its will make difficulty enterprise system implanting in organization.
ReplyDeleteb) Poor leadership from top management. If top management is not strongly committed to the system, does not foresee and plan for the profound changes necessitated by ERP, or does not actively participate in the implementation, the implementation has a high likelihood of failure. The implementation of ERP must be viewed by top management as a transformation in the way the company does business
c) Cost and time-large cost and tremendous time is needed to implementing the system. where all part of software and technology need high investment and also expensive to get in and apply in organization, to make all process enterprise system run with smoothly, organization must complete all the thing technology so workers can doing their job without any interfaces and the result was get is accurate and immediately solving the problem.
2. a) The benefit of enterprise system is suite of integrated software modules and a common central database.

ReplyDeleteQUESTION 1
A. Have the several factors that contribute to the difficulty of implementing enterprise systems within an organization firstly is if the firm have the small organization not to suitable to use the enterprise system this is because this system very expensive to implement in the small company.Beside that, to use this Enterprise system need to considering on skill to implement this systems...this is because the worker must have knowledgeable about this Enterprise System especially if the systems changed from time to time that need to upgrade so this situation will lead to complications in handling or control this enterprise systems this is because when the system must be uprated also need new skill have to learn so wasting time to trained worker .Another factors is this software same situations with software product life cycle
Question 2
A.
The benefit when use Enterprise systems is firstly can combining together many systems into only one system so that this situation can resolve any problem such as to avoid or reduce redundant data that means repeating duplicate data in term of flow data.With this Enterprise system enable to coordinate of daily data activities such as customers order.
B.
challenges when implement this Enterprise system an organization is when the requires fundamental need to be changes for example change in technologies that means have the new tools to have be learn so that make difficult to implement this systems,or if the business processes changes so that automatically the Business system also need to be change
Question 1
ReplyDeleteThe three factors that contribute to the difficulty of implementing enterprise systems within an organization is a bad system. This category includes lack of needed ERP functionality, system performance problems, lack of scalability, system bugs, and ERP processes that don't match business processes. Second factor contribute to the difficulty of implementing enterprise is lack of expertise to using this enterprise system. It is need to have expertise in a company who using enterprise system, because they the only one can handle this high technologies of system. Third factor is poor planning or poor management.
Question No.2
a)These a benefits of enterprise system integrated organizational system like Enterprise system leads to the development of an integrated system within the organization. This helps in streamlining of organizational processes and workflow, resulting in improved efficiency.Then,enterprise system benefits also improved data entry like due to the integration of all system in an organization,there is little or no entry of redundant data and process throughout the system.
The establishment of the enterprise systems in an organization results in the incorporation of best industry practices, leading to an overall improvement in the working of the organization.
B)The challenges for enterprise system is an immature services and landscape. Though many of the leading Internet firms have extensive Web services divisions that offer much of their data and products up through feeds that can be plugged into browser-based mashups, the reality is that the rest of the Web has been somewhat slow to follow. It’s just now becoming well-known that APIs can greatly reinforce the value of a Web application and allow it to be reused hundreds or thousands of times in other products, leveraging a form of Jakob’s Law.But for now, even in organizations that have SOA initiatives in advanced stages, not nearly enough information and functionality is currently “Web-enabled” via feeds and services and hence can’t be leveraged inside a mashup application canvas. .The spelintering of widgets also a challenges of enterprise system. One of the most exciting phenomenons on the Web today has been the advent of widget; mobile Web parts that can be used by anyone with a cut and paste. Deep support for security and identity. The most useful enterprise mashups will have access to a user’s private individual data and other corporate information protected by security and identity systems.
QUESTION 1
ReplyDeleteThere are three main factors that can be held responsible for failure of ERP system are poor planning or poor management change in business goals during project and lack of business management support. In another study, it has been found that companies spent large money in developing ERP systems that are not utilized. It is uncommon for ERP project to finish late, cost more than predicted, unreliable and difficult to maintain. Moreover BPR also had a high failure rate with consultants estimating that as many as 70% of the BPR projects fails. advocates that the power of modern technology should be used to radically design business processes to achieve dramatic improvements in their performance. From a software perspective ERP systems is complete. But from the business perspective it is found that software and business processes needs to be aligned, which involves a mixture of business process design and software configurations. So it is clear that purely technical approach to ERP system design is insufficient.
QUESTION 2
a)Firstly integrated organizational system. Enterprise system leads to the development of an integrated system within the organization. This helps in streamlining of organizational processes and workflow, resulting in improved efficiency.
Secondly is Improved data entry. Due to the integration of all systems in an organization, there is little or no entry of redundant data and processes throughout the system.
The third one is Incorporation of best practices. The establishment of the enterprise systems in an organization results in the incorporation of best industry practices, leading to an overall improvement in the working of the organization.
b) Firstly, Operational Benefits. Organizations implement enterprise systems with the purpose of synchronizing the functions of different departments. An integrated system reduces the time used in processing documents, such as payrolls and other external documents. Information visibility and transparency within an organization is a benefit that facilitates the different operations carried out by the various departments.
Secondly, Managerial Benefits. Managers find it less hectic to oversee operations and to ensure that key business objectives are achieved through enterprise systems. Because they are able to access information from a centralized server, managers find that the decision-making process becomes more informed and yields better results.
Thirdly the Costs. Enterprise systems, such as Customer Relations Management and Enterprise Resource Planning, incur exorbitant costs. Purchasing the software architecture, implementing it, and training staff are some of the overheads incurred, in terms of both money and time. Enterprise systems do not always yield anticipates benefits, thus creating a risk of double losses. The maturity period required to see the benefits of these systems may be as lengthy as three years.
Q1
ReplyDeleteEach of organization always have difficulty in implement some system since the staff that responsible with it resist to change. Meaning to say, the workers within the organization did not want changing to the next level. They more prefer to use old system because they think that the new system will effect they status qua (rank and position) in that organization. Other than that, lack of knowledge will contribute to difficulty of implementation of enterprise system. Means, the workers lack of current or latest knowledge related with the system that will implement, so the organization need to give their workers more training to improve their skill about future system. Last but not least is lack of resources, its referring to money, manpower and also the technology material. As we know, each of system will required latest software and also hardware that involve high cost to implement and the manpower that will work with the system also need to pay based on their expertise to deal with that system. other than that, the organization also need to spend to tecnology material, so it makes the organization cannot afford that force them to use old system.
Q2(a) - Nowadays, every organization or company need technologies in order to make the organization's system running smoothly so that they can compete with other companies. There are advantages using the enterprise system. Firstly, in terms of information, employees can share all information across all departments and can improve internal communications among them.Secondly, in terms of customers, organization that used enterprise system can improved customer satisfaction.How this can happen? Employees that using enterprise system automatically can access the customer's information such as time delivery of packages or the quality of goods. Its can help promote quality and performance of the organization.The last but not least, every organizations activities will cost expenditure. But by using enterprise system, its help the organization improved costing in the proper racing of actual cost of all activities.
Q2(b)Enterprise system is another result of technology advances.One of the challenges is that its cost highly expensive.Its not just cost of purchasing of the software, but also the training of the staff, the maintenance and also required time. Storage challenges also one of the challenges faced by the organization.some data accumulates exponentially and may prove some difficulty to handle. That's why organization need an expertise to handle the enterprise system.

Desribe THREE (3) factors that contribute to the difficulty of implementing enterprise systems within an organization. (10 Marks)
ReplyDeleteenterprise system is integrated information systems that cut across various organizations as well as various functional areas. Enterprise resource planning systems inherently present uniqueris ks due to tightly linked interdependencies of business processes, relational
databases, and process reengineering and ability to generate timely and accurate information throughout the enterprise and its supply chain. A
successful ERP system implementation can shorten production cycles, increases accuracy of demand for materials management & sourcing and leads to inventory
reduction because of material management, the factor is wrong Select functions of system they wish to use problems revolve around inadequate training, non involvement of users in the new system, lack of user commitment, ineffective communication with users,
conflict among departments. besides that, a careful use of communication and change management procedures is required to handle the often business
process reengineering impact of ERP systems which can alleviate some of the problems, but a more fundamental issue of concern is the cost feasibility of system integration, training and user licenses and system utilization. in addition, Knowledge of such risks is important in planning and conducting assurance engagements of the reliability of these complex computer systems. But there are certain gaps in existing studies regarding finding the various critical risk factors in ERP system design and implementation
futhermore, jobs and responsibilities of users working in a particular system got changed which lead to political problems among employees. More over implementation of ERP creates fear in minds of the employees (users) of loosing their jobs; as the implementation of ERP system leads in downsizing the number of jobs required in different business processes. Similarly lack of experts; application specific
knowledge; user experience and problem to recruit and retain good ERP specialists; also contribute to project risk. the factor also, the organizations fail in involving internal and external ERP experts in design and implementation of new systemwhich could otherwise enhance the skill set of internal experts. It is also found that lack of support at various management levels is one of the critical risk factors
as it was critical in accomplishing project objectives and aligning the whole system as per new implementation plan. Similarly improper management structure was another factor that lead to a decentralized system and thus created excessive duplication of effort. Further the presence of many people working at same level also was a reason of conflicts among their views and non resolution
of problems.

ReplyDeletequestion one
ReplyDeleteThree factors that resulted to the difficulty of implementing enterprise system within organisation is firstly Enterprise systems software is too expensive. Where this type of
Systems are expensive and consequently require complex decision-making processes to purchase them. An even more substantial amount of business cost is typically spent on consulting to overcome difficult software implementation. Secondly is Poor planning or poor management
Change in business goals during project and lack of business management support. Companies spent large money in developing ERP systems that are not utilized. From a software perspective ERP systems is complete. But from the business perspective it is found that software and business processes needs to be aligned, which involves a mixture of business process design and software configurations. So a purely technical approach to ERP system design is insufficient. ERP systems usually effect the whole organization. As such, requires a combination of technical and human expertise to select, develop and implement successfully.Thirdly is lack of knowledge will contribute to difficulty of implementation of enterprise system. Means, the workers lack of current or latest knowledge related with the system that will implement, so the organization need to give their workers more training to improve their skill about future system. also with lack of resources, its referring to money, manpower and also the technology material. As we know, each of system will required latest software and also hardware that involve high cost to implement and the manpower that will work with the system also need to pay based on their expertise to deal with that system.
