This report is based on the following requirement -
“The appeal of ERP may come less from any cash benefits and more from its ability to untangle and integrate business practices and systems “
ERP systems were initially implemented to replace many of the disparate legacy systems and the associated issues. Discuss the issues associated with disparate systems and how ERP systems overcome these issues. Vendors argue that integration issues occur at the people, process, and application levels.
Discuss these statements using case study examples (from literature searches) to demonstrate different company’s experiences.
Your paper should include the following areas :
Importance of integration to companies
Issues which occur due to lack of integration (people, process, application)
How do ERP systems address these integration issues?
What benefits can companies achieve when this integration occurs?
At least two (2) case studies of companies and the issues they faced due to lack of
integration and how ERP systems helped overcome these. Note: you will receive a better mark if you use case studies throughout your discussion, rather than just at the end.
