    Nt1310 Unit 3 Review Questions

    The company is reengineering the company’s Intranet/Information systems and enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. The upper management has chosen to implement SAP to connect all aspects of the company; accounting, manufacturing, aircraft services, supply inventory, and customer resource management (CRM). Implementing this new information system (IS) will allow the different parts of the company to operate as one, by allowing the various modules in SAP to communicate and exchange data. SAP will replace all of the outdated and splintered software the company currently uses by allowing easier communication between the departments and the programs that are used. The change was started about three years ago and will be completed in about two years for a total of five years to complete and be fully implemented. Connecting all of the different departments will save a tremendous amount of money for the company. Reengineering the IS systems will allow the sales department and customer representatives more easy access to the customer’s information, such as current and future orders, current aircraft service status or new aircraft delivery time; thereby increasing the customers value and customer…

    NIBCO’s Inc. is a midsized manufacturer of values and pipe fitting headquartered in Elkhart, Indiana (Brown, Dehayes, Hoffer, Martin & Perkins, 2012, p.468). NIBCO had over 3000 employees and reported $461 million annual revenue. The company implemented SAP R/3 among its ten plants and four new distribution centers. Top management did not take the advice of their consultants concerning taking a slower approach instead of the BIG Bang approach, instead they decided to go along with Boston Consulting Group (BCG) to eliminate the legacy system and replace them with integrated systems. There were four different types of legacy systems that supported the order entry, manufacturing, distribution and accounting functions (Brown et.al 2012, p.470). Different sections in the organization were using their own versions of manufacturing software package with separate database. NIBCO’s decided they needed standardized software across the company that’s how ERP package came about.…

    Sap America Case Study

    In 1972 SAP was founded by four young software engineers who had come up with a concept for an integrated software package, and their current employer turned it down. This initial idea sparked their first major enterprise information systems product. This took their company public, and after five years SAP’s market capitalization was $15 billion. The expansion that occurred began in Walldorf, Germany where SAP was founding and spread to the America Group. This began in the late 1980’s and was crucial to the SAP’s growth. Once their overseas group took off, there were many elements of their business that needed to be altered and improved to account for their growth. Although they began as a product based company it was very clear to everyone involved that taking care of the client, through implementation and support was crucial to differentiating themselves from competitors within the market, and a key to their survival. The development of an industry strategy was another crucial action that paralleled the growth and support of SAP. This vertical industry strategy was to be delivered through industry centers of expertise (ICOEs), which to serve as a bridge between R/3 customers and the product development organization. This partnering was the key to SAP’s consistent growth, by using the manpower of outside and inside consultants.…

    Lego Case Study

    Ever since LEGO started experiencing double digit annual sales growth, (by launching new toy games, branded theme parks, entering the video game sector, introducing mobile applications, introducing toys for girls, etc.) they realized they needed a model that was standardized, modular and scalable. Hence, allowing them to expand to new markets in a less amount of time. They already had a decently established market in USA and UK; they were looking for an expansion in other countries as well. This model had to tackle major issues like scalability challenges, employee management, product design and development. They had to do so in a short time span and had to make sure that their implementation of the new information system was flawless. To do so, they required immense simplification and standardization of the IT landscape. Thus, they implemented the integrated SAP business suite. The SAP business suite provided integration of data, information and processes, collaboration, industry specific functionality and most importantly, the much needed scalability. They also utilized the SAP human capital management, which helped them manage their human resources. Thus, another big issue of employee management was tackled. Other small applications by SAP were also used to handle minor tasks like applications involving e- commerce, roster management, etc. All the above SAP softwares were integrated and implemented on an IBM infrastructure. This infrastructure had its backbone as the IBM power server. They utilized the IBM System Storage and the IBM System x technology. Also, a suite of IBM Tivoli software was used. All of these combined together made extensive use of virtualization. This further simplified centralized both service and storage management. In addition to this, IBM PowerHA technology was used to…
