Investè carries expertise in field of understanding
the peculiar and specific business process requirements
and the kind of reporting mechanism top managements
look at to enhance their businesses without many efforts
and devote time on mapping the processes. These processes
could be easily understood and transformed to the IT
companies because of the simple reason of Investè
being involved deeply in the systems and business processes
and has the understanding of benefits and limitations
of IT as well as business processes.

Prerequisite |
| |
First
and foremost is the top management's commitment. To
get the maximum benefit from a technology, there has
to be a change in attitude. IT cannot be looked at as
expenditure. It has to be considered as a resource.
Also, the entire organization-right from the sales people
to the guy on the shop floor-has to be educated
Investè shall map the processes involved in the
organization using its process tools. This would be
possible by conducting workshops, creating work groups
and task forces to understand different activites, their
technical aspect, reporting hierarchy, etc. Investè
shall reach to the planning module by using following
processes;

BPR (Business Process Reengineering) |
| |
It must be remembered that
ERP is an opportunity for business re-engineering. One
gets the opportunity to restructure and reorganize people
and departments to meet new challenges and global competition.
Information is a vital factor along with quality, cost,
and delivery to establish competitive advantage. As such,
it calls for attitudinal changes which will help in a
smooth transition, learning best practices, and adopting
them into the business. No doubt, these changes will reap
good profits in a short time. |

|
| |
User Profiling & Review |
| |
It must always be remembered
that ERP packages are tools to support the business. Close
linkage to business must be reviewed and monitored to
ensure that the required information is made available
to the right people at the right cost and in the right
format so as to gain competitive edge in the era of global
competition. It is observed that, when a business crosses
the boundaries of the nation and becomes multinational,
it has no other option but to use ERP so as to standardize
operations worldwide.
Importance of 'password' and 'controlled access' must
be emphasized. Further, well-defined procedures must be
adopted to monitor access to the information. Depending
on the levels of the people, various privileges should
be allocated (read, write, or both). The authorization
to approve a transaction is also a requirement for certain
critical functions. The periodic dumps of data and consistency
of databases and their fine tuning must be ensured as
in the case of legacy systems. |
