Cisco Systems, Inc.: Implementing ERP [HBR case #699022] Reviews Cisco System's approach to implementing Oracle's Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software product. This case chronologically reviews the diverse, critical success factors and obstacles facing Cisco during its implementation. Cisco faced the need for information systems replacement based on its significant growth potential and its reliance on failing legacy systems. The discussion focuses on where management was particularly savvy in contrast to where it was the beneficiary of good fortune.

Foremost among these is that the ERP implementation efforts of many of their larger counterparts have resulted in partial failure, and in some cases total abandonment. Moreover, small manufacturers tend to lack the financial resources to adopt the entire system and may be forced to adopt a piecemeal approach to integrating the typically expensive ERP systems into their services. It is also felt that the lower staff levels in smaller enterprises when compared to their larger counterparts are inadequate for the rigorous and extensive IT training and development requirements for implementing an ERP project. It is however important for these firms to ensure that they make adequate studies of ERP systems before deciding to do away with them altogether because it has been found that they can be of use to the success of the business, especially after successful

An effective communication has been suggested to be one of the success factors that have an impact on users’ acceptance of an ERP implementation (Amoako-Gyampah & Salam, 2004). Furthermore Ngai et al. (2008) rightfully pointed out that communication is vital for an organisation to achieve an advantage from the ERP system implementation. In order to overcome user resistance before and during the implementation of ERP, operative and explicitly communication is very important in all

The object of this research paper is to describe the implementation challenges of an enterprise system, then to analyze the changes required in its implementation and discuss the advantages of ERP over legacy systems. Some of the informational background will be discussed in this paper regarding enterprise resource planning systems. This paper will construct some examples from my research findings to show why ERP has advantages over legacy systems. This paper will also not only provide strengths of having an enterprise system, but will show weaknesses as well. And to conclude, this paper will explain why and how enterprise systems will be of benefit for organizations and business with decision-making processes.

Enterprise Resources Planning (ERP) is the core system of any company. In order to facilitate all departments in a manner to improve issues, there are a few things that must be meet to successfully utilize a software system such as ERP. This allows any member within the company to access a single and centralized data source with information regarding products, services, customers and suppliers (Sadrzadehrafiei, Chofreh, Hosseini, & Sulaiman, 2013). The ability to share and access one software benefits the company to improve in areas such as sales and marketing, customer satisfaction, human resources, operations, and more. In addition, business intelligence tools such as ERP systems provide the techniques and solutions managers need to analyze and understand complex business situations, and simplify decision making processes that is of crucial importance during times of financial and economic crisis (Antoniadis, Tsiakiris, & Tsopogloy, S. 2015). This paper explores the definition and functions of an ERP system and the successes and costs of implementation.

The purpose of this paper is to research and discuss issues and challenges related to Enterprise Resources Planning implementation projects in Manufacturing and public sector. Examples from over organisations were also used as a lot of the main people issues are related to many organisation implementation of Enterprise Resources Planning systems. This paper focuses on the issues and challenges associated with people/users of an organisation. Before that an overview and definition of ERP is provided. The issues and challenges discussed are fear of change and resistance to change, engagement of users in the implementation phase, role changes, knowledge and no/limited training. Solutions and recommendations are provided to

Successful implementation of an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is not impossible in real life but for that it must be developed through a proper planning and implementation. ERP are designed to upgrading an organization’s ability to generate more timely and accurate information for its supply chain. Organization must be ready for reengineered before the success of productivity can be realised. Most of the companies have faced heavy problems while trying to implement ERP systems and have led to serious problems.

Although the researches about ERP systems have aroused much concern globally and lots of studies were focusing on how to deploy ERP systems successfully, many recent reports and researches reveal that the real situation about the implementation of ERP system is not as good as expected. It has been pointed out by Motwani (2002) that the successful ERP project rate in China is unpleasant, which is only around 10 percent. The factors influencing ERP implementation are hard to be determined. Ke and Wei (2008) have argued that the success of deploying ERP system is positively related to organizational culture. Morton and Hu (2008) examined the fit between the characteristics of organization itself such as organizational structure and success of ERP implementation. Ifinedo (2007) found that organizational size, culture and structure are positively linked to ERP system success. A correct selection of ERP vendors is also another factor contributing to the success

In this regard, (Hunton et al 2002) state that the ERP implementation enhances value to organizations. In the same line, (Poston and Garbksi 2000) explored a number of organizations implementing the ERP systems where as a result they found a decrease in employees’ ratio and cost of goods transferred in revenues.

ERP ensures the fundamental of business applications to be automated and reduce the cost and complexity of the business models which leads to a successful business (She & Thuraisingham, 2007). According to Berchet and Habchi (2005), Davenport (1998), among the important modules for ERP system are marketing, sales and distribution, enterprise solution, production planning, quality management, assets accounting, materials management, cost control, human resources, project management, financials , and plant maintenance. It potentially allows company to manage business better with great benefits of improved process flow and decision

Anderson (2014) said “ERP implementations rarely fail in formulation; however, they frequently fail in implementation.” It does not in with just purchasing an ERP system. A well designed implementation plan is the company’s ticket to success. A well designed implementation plan addresses all potential bottlenecks like execution problems such as lack of training, attitude and participation of the entire workforce from leaders to staff, and member selection for the whole ERP project implementation team. An ERP project is

There are many different types of software that can help an organization communicate data back and forth through their various departments. One certain system that does this is the Enterprise Resource Planning System, also known as ERP. Enterprise Resource Planning Systems integrate business management along with technology. There are many parts of an ERP system, including Manufacturing, Finance, Human Resources, and many more. The system has saved organizations time and money in various ways. Although ERP Systems have helped businesses in integrating various data information between organizations, there are a number of disadvantages that individuals working with the system should be aware of.

This project aims to study the acquisition, implementation and use of enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems to achieve improved business intelligence and decision making for the company ABC. The project further aims to identify the requisite data input and analysis needed for optimizing the ERP services used to improve productivity and efficiency for ABC. Although all businesses are unique and their administrative needs differ, ERP systems have been shown to provide a valuable framework that combines a wide range of organizational business functions into a single comprehensive system that facilitates informed decision making. While ERP was originally created for manufacturing applications, these systems have become the dominant form of business information systems
