Slide No 8 What is an ERP?

The keyword in Enterprise Resource Planning is

Enterprise. This is the ambitious goal o an ERP! to

integrate an organi"ation into one inormation system.

That is a tall order! building a single sotware program

that ser#es the needs o people in $nance as well as it

does the people in human resources and in the

warehouse. Each o those departments typically has its

own computer system! each optimi"ed or the

particular ways that the department does its work. %ut

ERP combines them all together into a single!

integrated sotware program that runs o& a single

database so that the #arious departments can more

easily share inormation and communicate with each

other.

Slide No '( E#olution o ERP

)ere you can see a general e#olution o ERP systems.

They started as customi"ed and proprietary Inventory

control systems in the 1960’s. *n the 1970’s the

focus shifted to Material Requirement Planning

which pro#ided raw materials and component

management and procurement. *n the 1980’s the

model continued to grow by including distriutionchannel functions.

*n the 1990’s This model grew urther into the fully

de!ned usiness suites that we ha#e come to know

as "nter#rise Resource Planning $ystems. The

de#elopment o these products was perpetuated by the

desire to mo#e programs o& o customi"ed mainrame

programs! the de#elopment o new technologies! the


2/21

decentrali"ation o businesses! and the desire to

implement %PR.

%RM& 'hich !rst gained #rominence in the mid(

1990s! was the logical progression o ERP! as it was

designed to enhance a company+s ront,desk acti#ities.

-ustomer interaction entered a new era with the

ad#ent o call centers supported by -R sotware!

which allowed companies to direct marketing acti#ities

and build relationships with distinct groups o

customers. -R also promised to impro#e thepro$tability and e&ecti#eness o the company by

automating many processes! making better use o

a#ailable sta& and reducing o#erall costs.

-R o&ers a utopian answer to many challenges. With

an integrated -R solution! companies can detect

changes in customer buying habits! understand their

needs aster than the competition and respond to

customer demands in double,/uick time.

Today! the model grows and ERP companies are trying

to ully *nternet Enable their products and redesign

their products or the new business models. What was

once internally ocused is now e0ternally ocused.

Slide No '1 What is the State o the ERP arket?

*n the '2234s the key was internal integration and ERP

implementations in the 5S were being rapidly


3/21

completed. This has let the ERP as a standard in many

mid,si"e and large organi"ations.

Today the ocus is on linking your internally ocused

applications to ront,end web systems and %(%

e0changes. *n the same manner the -R systems are

also being linked accordingly.

The 6SP market was hot! but is now cooling

considerably. *n any case it is a model that will persist

and will create the ability to ha#e e0ternal companies

host your ERP or you. This opens new markets orsmaller organi"ations that do not ha#e the *T sta& or

the knowledge necessary to manage their own ERP.

7#erall! the market has been in a state o decline or

appro0imately two years. There are a number o

actors which ha#e caused this decline! but saturation

is certainly one main actor.

The latest market segment or ERP4s is the public sector

which is now implementing these systems

inally! o#erall new implementations will continue to

decline due to the act that the new business models

are e0ternally ocused. Thereore i you are building a

system today you would probably use a best o breed

solution to create your inormation system. )owe#er

the ERP manuacturers certainly can rebound to

address the needs o these users and create more

9e0ible solutions to *nternet enable their applications.

Slide No ': )istory o S6P.

S6P is the leading ERP sotware package. S6P was the

$rst to integrate a corporation+s worldwide unctions

tightly into one application.

their accounting& sales& distriution&

solution

*n act! we ha#e many choices or eDciency and control

know that the data captured in our transactional

systems is the e0act data that is needed to pro#ide

make much better decisions. Not only can we make

those decisions but we can see the impact on the

business and the perormance o the business.

Slide No 13 S6P R=1 System 6rchitecture

• The picture here illustrates a typical R=1 system.

ultiple presentation layers rom multiple computers

communicate with the application ser#ers o#er the

local or wide area network.

or a single R=1 system! there may be multiple

application ser#ers in order to balance the operational

load.

6ll these application ser#ers interact with a single

database ser#er.

6nd as the picture illustrates! the database ser#er acts

as the interace between the e0ternal R


9/21

component! called as a thin client in common

terminology. *t is capable o sending re/uests to

the application ser#er! recei#ing the re/uests back

and displaying the screen back to the user.

ultiple instances o presentation ser#ers can e0ecute

in the same work station.

6nd generally the presentation layers are! to a good

e0tent! downward compatible with the application

ser#ers! in terms o the #ersion. or e.g.! 6 L.: -

#ersion ;5* would be able to communicate with a L.B% #ersion application ser#er.

The messages e0changed between the presentation

layer and the application ser#er are in a S6P

proprietary ormat. The presentation layer is capable o

accepting the screen inormation sent rom the

application ser#er! ormat and generate the screens

appropriately or the platorm it is running on.

• The database ser#er! as we saw earlier! acts as an

interace between the application ser#er and the

R


10/21

The R=1 system! as an application! is conceptually

di#ided into 1 areas. Namely the application area! the

basis area and the de#elopment area.

This is in being synonymous to the 1 main type o

users. Qi".! the application users or the end users! the

admin users! popularly called as the basis people and

the de#elopers.

The application area is where users initiate and e0ecute

transactions o the #arious unctional areas o R=1 like

6ccounting! )uman Resources! Cogistics etc.

The basis area is where the basis people or the admin

users e0ecute transactions that are used or monitoring

the R=1 system like perormance! database

administration! scheduling etc.

The de#elopment area is where tools and transactions

are a#ailable or de#elopers and programmers to createand test 6%6P= programs. This is reerred to as a

de#eloper4s workbench.

Slide No > -lients in R=1

• %asic S6P R=1 and 6%6P= concepts

We will now brush through a ew basic concepts o the

R=1 System

• The Cogon -lient

The term Llogon client has nothing to with the

-lient=Ser#er terminologies.


11/21

6 client in R=1! is a 1 digit number which enables one to

maintain multiple independent sets o data within the

same R=1 system.

Within the same R=1 system we can ha#e client with

range 333 to 222.

The client id is also supplied along with user id and

password at the time o login.

This means that each client will ha#e an independent

set o data. or e.g.! when a person logs into client 833!

the data he sees! or e.g.! purchase orders or #endor

details etc.! will not be a#ailable when he logs into

client >33.

• -lient mechanism and handling

The client concept is implicitly handled within the same

R=1 system.

*n the $gure illustrated! when a user logs on to client

833 and runs a program that selects the $eld C*NR

rom the table C6'! the result o that selection would

only be two rows though there are : rows a#ailable in

the table. Similarly! had the user logged on to client

>33! the selection would ha#e yielded only rows.

6s we see! the client concept is handled using an e0tra

$eld 6N


12/21

and the data contained in the table is same across all

clients.

The S6P client concept allows you to map each

customer to one client! without ha#ing to install and

administer a separate systems or each customer. This

makes it possible or the pro#ider to install a small

number o S6P Systems! but still cater to a large

number o customers. -osts are not only sa#ed by

sharing hardware and sotware! multiple customers also

use the same application solution! including

administration and support. %ut howe#er! to guarantee

the secure and reliable co,e0istence o customers

under a common system umbrella! certain rules and

guidelines must be ollowed.

$lide ,o -8 %lients in R./

-lients are used to di#ide data in a S6P System into

#arious data areas or #arious purposes. * a company!

or e0ample! wants to use its S6P System or both test

and training purposes! a client is created or each

purpose.
