Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. 21 The Rise of Enterprise Systems Stand-alone applications – Not designed to communicate with other system – Variety of computing hardware platforms – Enable departments to conduct daily business activities – Not helpful for other areas in the firm Proprietary systems – From vendors – Not designed to share with other vendors’ systems – Problem of knitting together (hodgepodge portfolio of discordant proprietary applications) – Lack of integration

22. Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. 22 Legacy Systems Each department has its own system.  Infrastructure specific  Inefficient processes  Potential for inaccuracies  Too many “rocks in the river”

23. Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. 23 Evolution of ERP – MRP (Materials Resource Planning) – what to order – MRPII (Manufacturing Resource Planning) – automate the factory – ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) – automate everything 70s80s90s00s MRPII MRP ERP

ERP evolved during the 1990s from material/manufacturing requirements planning packages. – Recall the discussion of MRP and MRPII Emphasis has since shifted from “resources” and “planning” to “enterprise.” Integrate legacy information on a company-wide basis

38. Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. 38 THE GOAL OF ERP Standardize and integrate the processes of the organization to facilitate the organization of the firm around the core competency. Everything that is not part of this core competency, the silver bullet, the differentiating edge, should be standardized. The firm is not a beautiful and unique snowflake

Bankruptcy 2000 Nike – 400 million dollar upgrade – 20% Stock dip 2005 – 2008 (Waste Management Corp) – 100 million dollar upgrade… still in court

Consider the scenario we painted last time Look deep into the eyes of the person next to you… and take five minutes to discuss barriers to success What do you think stands in the way? I would argue – The hardest technical aspect is data integration – The hardest thing to change is people

42. Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. 42 Integrating Data to Integrate Applications Central information repository – ERP replaces stand- alone applications – Modules based on Common database Similar application interfaces

System must be configured to reflect business processes and associated business rules. Organizations have to make countless decisions on how to configure thousands of database tables to fit the business’s needs. Organizations hire experienced business analysts or outside consultants to assist with implementation.

51. Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. 51 ERP Limitations Thoughts? – ERP falls short in communicating across organizational boundaries. – They tend to be not well suited for managing value system activities. – Other systems can work with ERP to provide these capabilities.

52.

53. Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. 53 The Formula for Enterprise System Success 1.Secure executive sponsorship. – Most failures are due to lack of top-level management support. 2.Get help from outside experts. – Consultants are specifically trained. – Implementation tends to happen faster. 3.Thoroughly train users. – Training is the most overlooked, underestimated, and poorly budgeted expense. – Training can prevent dissatisfaction. 4.Take a multidisciplinary approach to implementations. – Include end users from all functional areas in the implementation. 5.Initiate evolving the ERP Architecture. Lets talk about user resistance to change for a second

54. Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. 54 How do we mitigate user resistance? Two Key Properties – Perceived Usefulness – Perceived Ease of Use How can we manipulate user PU and PEOU? – Performance Expectancy – Effort Expectancy – Social Influence – Facilitating Conditions Ok, how do we get this done?

55. Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. 55 Two Ways 1) Training 2) Socialization

56. Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. 56 Performance Expectancy User education – Why is this good for the firm? – Why is this good for the business unit? – Why is this good for the employee?

57. Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. 57 Effort Expectancy User Education – How much effort were you expending before? – How much effort will you be expending now? Learning Curves – Users hate relearning systems How mad were you when Windows went to the ribbon? How mad were you when Facebook went to the timeline? – Learning new methods is horrid – Keys – make users feel empowered and confident “ “To improve is to change, to perfect is to change often” – Winston Churchill” – Frank Underwood

58. Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. 58 Social Influence Buy-in from management Buy-in from gatekeepers Buy-in from the general user base

59. Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. 59 Facilitating Conditions What do users know? What do they not know? What do they need to know? Make information easy to find  Ease of Use Don’t make users feel impotent  Empower Them! Make it easy to find information and ensure users are not scared to get it
