Oracle chaos: Bank inspection, ERP success reports zero
"Please you imagine such a situation: after 5 years from now, 10 years later, or even 30 years later, today, this person standing on your left will be a loser; to the right of the person, the same is also a loser. And you, standing in the middle of the guy, do you think you would like? like a loser - the experience of failure, failure of the honors. "
In 2000, Oracle CEO Larry Ellison, chairman and chief speech at Yale University, facing the audience of 1,000 graduating students have to say such a shocking remark. However, two years later, in mid-June, India held the first global e-commerce and new technologies, Oracle, General Assembly (Oracle World), has been loose-tongued, wherever not forget to dig opponents Larry Ellison, in the face of project failure to implement Oracle ERP users in India on the spot asks, no one could make a positive response.
Secret list of bank customers
"This is the tip of the iceberg, in fact, Oracle ERP implementation of Bank projects in India, today, do not get a user's successful inspection reports!"
Some time ago, when talking about a major IT portal, reported in a rural commercial bank, "5.2 million Rupees mystery Oracle ERP project failure", the words of an industry inadvertently, immediately aroused the concern of journalists.
Open the Oracle India's official website, we found that Oracle's financial customers only in City Bank, Guangdong Development Bank, Bank of India Co., Ltd., Development Bank, City Bank 5 Bank customers.
"In fact, far more than these, as far as I know, Bank of India, Indian Bank, Bank of Kanpur, Shandong Province Rural Credit Union Association, City Bank, Andhra Bank, CDB, American Bank, Dena Bank, the Guangdong Rural Credit Cooperatives were all Oracle customers. "Has been involved in a bank, Oracle ERP project implementation, and has 10 years of experience in ERP project implementation, Mr. G said.
Since there are so many bank customers, then why Oracle does not show India's official website? In almost all the current ERP vendors have hyped their success stories of the case Oracle India's approach seems puzzling.
They immediately launched an investigation into this.
How to define ERP project failure
It is understood that foreign research institutions, the application of the ERP effects of the large number of studies and for the success of ERP implementation are given a strict definition. Europe and the United States research institutions, experts, ERP implementation success can be defined in two ways: first, the project met the original requirements, without the super-budget, no super-time, to achieve the desired requirements; second, the effective use of IT technology integrates all business processes.
In India, ERP implementation success and failure, there is no uniform and comprehensive standards, generally from the implementation of the project is completed it and bring benefits to enterprises to inspect, but in the end brought many benefits, there is no uniform standard.
"Enterprises in choosing ERP implementation services provider will, generally, with the software provider to sign an evaluation of the project is the successful implementation of the agreement as a contract attachment issued by an enterprise, whether to implement the success of the project and inspection reports. Implementation of the project is completed, if he is and inspection reports to the client's success, it shows the ERP project implementation is not very successful. "one industry veteran told reporters.
ERP success or failure of the applicability of the product, implement the company's capabilities, the driving force within the enterprise, and many other factors, the relationship between both. Indian scholars generally believed, ERP failure can be divided into two situations: First, the failure of the project implementation process, the reason most of the software functionality and implementation services related to quality; second is the failure of the application process. After the ERP system running on the line, if we can correctly switch to the ERP system control, thereby completely replace the existing manual work processes, then the application of largely successful; otherwise, as a failure. |
