Enterprise Resource Planning
Enterprise Resource Planning systems (ERP) integrate all data and processes of an organisation into a unified system. A typical ERP system will use multiple components of computer software and hardware to achieve the integration. A key ingredient of most ERP systems is the use of a unified database to store data for the various system modules. Ideally, ERP delivers a single database that contains all data for the software modules.
You may be about to embark on your new ERP implementation, or you may already have an ERP suite deployed and are planning to extend the business processes supported by implementing a new module or component.
Implementing and integrating your business and technology project is a critical part of any ERP project. SMS Management & Technology (SMS) has the right skills, frameworks and experience to ensure the success of these business-critical projects.
SMS is flexible in working with you to determine an approach that best suits your environment, maintaining a whole of life-cycle approach to your implementation ensuring that it is effectively integrated within your organisation.
Our expertise in ERP technologies (such as SAP and Oracle) and various Internet technologies positions us to architect a more integrated business system to support broad enterprise business processes. Our integration services cater for businesses who seek advantages in extending the boundaries of their existing business processes to better involve their employees, customers, suppliers, and other business partners.
The technical options for integration with ERP technologies are extensive and sometimes complex. Each option carries its own critical tradeoffs between licensing costs, development costs, implementation complexity, performance and future support. Our integration services can help you to examine the business case for a particular ERP product and Internet integration, canvass your integration options from both business and technical perspectives, prototype the implementation of new services and technologies, and follow through with the implementation itself.
Our recommendations will take into account not only the cost of initial implementation, but the full lifecycle cost of that solution and the impacts your choice will have on other parts of your organisation and infrastructure.
