The University of Massachusetts’s ERP project would include the student modules, financials, and human resources. Early in the system development life cycle, the separate campuses had conflicting issues concerning the details of the ERP. Too much time was wasted on minute details and not enough time was spent developing the work plan / project framework for the upcoming project (Solis, 2003).

In today’s business environment, companies use integrated information systems to gain competitive advantages. The primary objective of senior management is to generate a 10% profit to reinvest into the enterprise and expand their divisions. Several of Bandon’s competitors have implemented ERP with integrated CRM solutions. In order for Bandon Group, Inc. to compete with businesses such as Xerox, it is necessary to integrate the business applications. According to Monk, Ellen, & Wagner, “increasing information system efficiency often results in the effective management of business processes, which is essential to maximizing profit and sustainable growth” (2009). Bandon Group has common critical problems and issues within the organization today; there are also opportunities and challenges that need to be addressed. The technology department is small and strained. With the range of various technical solutions that have been implemented across the divisions it has become very difficult to provide data migrations, network support, technical support and training (Sumner, 2005). An ERP system can dramatically reduce costs and improve operational efficiency as it removes feudal decision-making and facilitates data integration and transparency between business units

This paper is an attempt to understand why TS Group chose JDE over SAP, SYSPRO, and Microsoft Dynamics. Within this paper all four ERP products (JDE, SAP, SYSPRO and Microsoft Dynamics) are evaluated for their strengths and weaknesses. From this evaluation a hypothesis is made as to why TS Group preferred the JDE ERP system. Considering any consultants available for these products, an argument is presented as to which constituents (stakeholders) had the most influence on this decision.

I have researched three of the industries leaders; IBM, Microsoft, and Oracle. They continue to capture the market share in this ever-changing environment. Even though IBM continues to state there ability to down size their product to meet medium and small businesses they continue to use large corporations as their base customer line. While Microsoft and there new

To help the company get back on track, the following three ERP modules are recommended as a start for the company. These modules will help the company integrate data across its plant sites, generate timely reports so the leadership can make real time decisions, and streamline the work processes across Stoney’s facilities (Annabi, 2015).

To be successful in today's competitive and continuous evolving information technology (IT) market companies must be able to utilise their skills, information and knowledge to the highest efficiency level possible. Utilisation of and control over these factors will aid companies in acquiring and maintaining competitive advantages over others operating in the same competitive IT market. The implementation of an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system would be perfect to suit a

SAP is a leader in the Global Business Software market and in this case study we will examine their strategies both the successes and failures. SAP was founded in 1972 by a group of German’s that left IBM to form the new company. In 1973 they launched the R/1 processing program which was one of the earliest forms of an enterprise resource planning system. Much of this case study will examine the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system from product evolution to customer service management to competing forces.

The  focus  of  the  Board’s  decisions   was on the attainment of educational goals, and in the enhancement of the research reputation of the university. Success measures for educational initiatives were normally expressed in terms of student achievements, enrollments, and applications to the university. Success measures for research efforts were counts of the numbers of articles published and research grants received. Financial measures of success, when they were used at all, mainly comprised summaries of budgeted expenditures versus actual expenditures. With his MBA training and long business experience, Allen Carpenter found these traditional methods of project evaluation incomplete at  best,  and  superficial  at  worst.  Carpenter  had  set  out  to  change  the  approach,  and  largely  he   had succeeded. Now the university evaluated educational and research initiatives more like a

This project is the analysis of two different ERP systems, Dynamics GP 2016 (Microsoft) and SAP ECC ERP 6.0.

In case study III-4, titled “ERP Purchase Decision at Benton Manufacturing Company, Inc.,” describes in detail what a major manufacturing company experiences while considering a substantial investment with the implementation of an ERP (enterprise resource planning) system. Among the company’s management personal opinions vary, some doubt the need of such a system while others support and justify the expense. The question at hand; whether or not to implement a costly system with a lengthy transitioning phase? In his attempt to answer this question, Walter McHenry, CEO and President of Benton Manufacturing has formed a two man team to investigate and further

Defined by Investopiedia.com,” Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is a process by which a company, usually a manufacturer, manages and integrates the important parts of its business. An ERP management information system integrates areas such as planning, purchasing, inventory, sales, marketing, finance, human resources, etc. (Investopedia).Today, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems are extremely important, especially towards the Manufacturing Business. Looking back at the history of manufacturing solutions, the industry began with Manufacturing Resource Planning (MRP) systems that, similar to ERP systems, were used for enhancement and basic

The objective of my research is to study the use of Information Technology and particularly ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system for small and mid-size organizations. There was a time when IT and large Information Systems were used only by large organizations. That was the time when the cost of technology was high and the mid-size and large organizations were not able to afford the high cost of ERP systems (Vieru, 2015). With time, the cost of computing has come down. Today, ERP systems are also used as a service. With the penetration of Internet and cloud computing, small size and mid size firms have also started to use ERP system to manage their business processes. It is interesting to study the business
