Concept of Enterprise 6/19/2016 3:59:35 AM 7  An enterprise is the group of people with a common goal, which has certain resources at its disposal to achieve this goal.  The enterprise acts as a single entity. This view of a company or organization is drastically different from the traditional approach.

Concept of Enterprise (Cont…) 6/19/2016 3:59:35 AM 8  In the traditional approach, the organization is divided into different units based on the functions they perform.  So we have different departments like manufacturing department, purchasing department, sales and distribution department, finance department and so on.  These departments function in isolation and have their own systems of data collection and analysis

Concept of Enterprise (Cont…) 6/19/2016 3:59:35 AM 9  So the information that is created or generated by the various departments. in most cases is available only to the top management in the form of reports.  The result is that instead of taking the organization towards the common goal the various departments end up pulling it in different directions.  This is because one department does not know what the other does.  Sometimes the departmental objectives can be conflicting.

Concept of Enterprise (Cont…) 6/19/2016 3:59:35 AM 10  For example, the sales and marketing people will want more product variety to satisfy the varying needs of the customers.  But the production department will want to limit the product variety to cut down production costs.  So unless and until all the departments know what the others are doing and for what purpose. these kinds of conflicts will arise thus disrupting the normal functioning of the organization.

ERP Overview 6/19/2016 3:59:35 AM 11  But in the enterprise way the entire organization is considered as a system and all the departments are its sub-systems.  Information about all the aspects of the organization is stored centrally and is available to all departments.  This transparency and information access ensures that the departments will no longer be working in isolation pursuing their own independent goals.

ERP Overview (Cont…) 6/19/2016 3:59:35 AM 12  Each sub-system knows what others are doing.  Why they are doing it and what should be done to move the company towards the common goal.  ERP systems help to make this task easier by integrating the information systems.  Enabling smooth and seamless flow of information across departmental barriers.  Automating business process and functions and thus helping the organization to work and move forward as a single entity.

Integrated information system 6/19/2016 3:59:35 AM 13  An information system is an open, purposive system that produces information using the “input-process- output” cycle. Information system consists of three elements 1) people 2) procedures and 3) data.  People follow procedures to manipulate data to produce information.

Integrated information system 6/19/2016 3:59:35 AM 14  In today's computer world, the definition of information systems has undergone a slight change.  Today an Information system is an organized combination of people, hardware, software, communications, networks and data resources that collects, assemble, transforms and circulate in an organization.
