The vision behind implementing an ERP system is to create a single centralised system that manages a multi-national business in a globalised environment. This centralised system contains a single source for all data and a single source for all information. Creating a single-system spanning different cultures, languages, currencies and structures provides the business with a single view. This single view operates in parallel to reduce costs, increase visibility and optimise all areas of modern global organisation. Centralised business information at the fingertips of organisational leaders and management, an analogy long strived for but seldom achieved.
Implementation Partners of ERP systems often dismiss the ‘One Business Concept™’ as being unobtainable, proclaiming that the organisation must adopt standardised strategies and interfaces to fuel its ERP solution. This view causes the link between the organisation and its ERP solution to be severed, creating a strategic malfunction inevitably leading to an inefficient and ineffective costly ‘non-solution’.
Planit-7 pioneers the ‘One Business Concept’ by utilising internal resources and promoting greater organisational interaction. This continual process of organisational involvement allows Planit-7 to customise an ERP solution that reflects the operative visions and strategy of the organisation.
“ Our strength lies in our core value of utilising and empowering resources of the organisation ‘for the good’ of the organisation.”
This strategy of involvement is formulated from the top down extracting the needs of management through to the process requirement of transactional users. Empowering these resources with the knowledge and strategy allows ‘Key Users’ to foster the link between the organisation and the solution. These internal ‘Key Users’ then aid the creation of an optimally structured solution that meets the requirements of all levels, of all departments, of the entire organisation.
Empowerment breeds knowledge. The use of internal resources for ERP implementation creates a greater level of system usability and comprehension, more efficient support links and a better level of understanding for future solutions development. With greater knowledge of business information systems and processes organisational resources can create a comprehensive link between resource and financial information. This link provides what ERP solutions promise; ‘an organisational information tool that serves an organisational purpose, provides visibility to the right people and that is available to the right people’.
Planit-7 empowers your organisation with the methodology, tools and resources to access your own information in order to make accurate, timely and cost effective decisions.
