We have seen so as to in favor of high quality infommation & hence, better decision-making ERP alone is not sufficient. We have seen so as to ERP systems have three significant limitations:
First, the inability of managers to generate custom reports or queries without help from a programmer. This inhabits managers from obtaining information quickly enough in favor of them to act on it in favor of competitive advantage.
Second, ERP systems provide current status only, such as open orders. Managers often need to look past the current status to find trends & patterns so as to aid better decision-making.
Third, the data into the ERP application is not integrated among other enterprise or division systems & does not include external intelligence.
There is another side of this problem. Into many ERP implementations, all the systems into the organization would not There will still be a few systems, which work outside the ERP system. But in favor of the ERP system to function smoothly, data from other applications must be integrated among the ERP system.
5.7.1 Two Flavors of EIA EIA solutions come into two basic flavors:
Tools, like Prospero, so as to give EDP/IS departments the ability to link ERP among almost any application.
Products so as to are geared to work among only a handful of major applications like SAP, PeopleSoft, Baan, Oracle etc.
While the wide ranging Prospero-type solutions require a significant amount of tinkering, pre-configured solutions. are designed to be implemented among a minimum of fuss.
Katrina Garnett, CrossWorlds founder, President & CEO, says pre-configured EIA solutions make sense in favor of firms so as to don’t want to be saddled among a major development project. According to her, most organizations need to link their ERP only to a relatively select group of mainstream applications. So in favor of such organizations, a pre-configured EIA solution is the best option.
CrossWorlds’ software includes out-of-the-box integration in favor of front-office to back office applications from such vendors as Aurum software inc. & Vantive CorP. as well as ERP packages from SAP, PeopleSoft, Baan, & others. The Ulna
company’s approach incorporates an NT-based server & a number of Trade process components along spec tic application connectors.
