Why m-power the ERP?
"It is not enough to implement an ERP, but what is important is that the ERP experience percolates to all the employees of the organization"
Despite huge budgets spend on ERPs by the enterprises today; they have failed to deliver results. A deeper look at the issue would reveal that one of the reasons for their failure is the low application compliance. A low application compliance results not only from a faulty implementation of the application (not in accordance with the business), but also because all employees are not connected 24X7 to the ERP system.
An ERP acts as the computing engine of the organization but it still fails to deliver due to the communication failure of assimilating and disseminating the information.
Messaging scenarios in an ERP
Sales module:
• Intimation of targets to the field force
• Pull-Push of relevant information from the field
Purchase/ Stock/Production Module:
• Intimating warehouse about the purchase orders
• Pull-Push information from the warehouse
• Pull field sales data for production planning
HR Module:
• Intimating field employees about the incentives
• Intimating employees during vacation/leave
Budget and Project Module:
• Intimating project team about scheduled targets
• Updating field employees on budget plan
