Introduction
What is Enterprise?
 Enterprise is a group of people with a common
goal, Which has certain resources at its disposal
to achieved that goal.
 Enterprise acts PEOPLE GOAL AND
OBJECTIVE
as an entity.
 Traditional system

Organization where there is no or little
 Traditional Approach communication betw departments
 Each of this
department are
compartmentalized
and have their own
goals and
objectives, (from their
point of view are in the
line with organization’s
objective
University Department Of
Information Technology Sonali C. 4
Cont…
 Work in isolation
 Has their own system of data collection and analysis.
 So information is available only TOP Management (only
summary) and not to other department.
 Ultimately, various department end up in different direction
instead taking orgniz towards common Goal.
 Coz other department does not know what other department
is doing.
 Eg sales n market people want more product variety to satisfy
needs of customers, but production department wants to limit
the product variety to cut down costs.

 For Enterprise
 Entire organization is
ONE SYSTEM,
department is
SUBSYSTEM
 Information is store
centrally n available to
all department

 Each subsystem knows what other is
doing, and why they r doing and what
should be done to achieve common goal.
 In ERP, information is integrated with
smooth and seamless flow of information
across department
University Department Of
Information Technology Sonali C. 7
Integrated Management Information
 In information system there is logical flow of
information, that is
Input Processed Output
 data supplied to system – manipulated –
transformed into information
University Department Of
Information Technology Sonali C. 8
Cont…
 Management Information System is an integrated
information system
 One of the popular subsystem/ technology used in
ERP
 It provided information system for decision-
making in organization
 MIS elements
 Transaction process (collecting, storing, processing)
 Reporting System (gives reports. Charts, graphs)
 Decision support system

Cont…
 This satisfies the need of managers at
operational level.
 But they work at departmental level.
 Each department has its own db and inf
system
 This will produce its own report.

Information Technology Sonali C. 10
DISADVANTAGES OF INTEGRATED
MANAGEMENT INFORMATION:
 People in one department do not have any
information what is happening in other department
 Top level mangers will circulate the report to other
department but that department will fail to capture
real picture.
 These system gives only the information which is
predetermined and processed on given data
 Eg. A manger fails to have extra information which report
does not contain n MIS cannot help

DISADVANTAGES OF INTEGRATED
MANAGEMENT INFORMATION: (cont)
 These system lacks integrated approach.
 Accounting department-Account Managmnt
System, finance department-Finance Managmnt
System etc.
 Work in isolation
 If person wants report from 2 deprtmnt he has to
go thru both system n correlate them and
combine the data

DISADVANTAGES OF INTEGRATED
MANAGEMENT INFORMATION: (cont)
 As system works in isolation , analysis of
data from various department is difficult
 Causes stress in decision making…
basically tedious job
 If no effective and efficient mechanism for
decision –
 will affect working of organization
 Lost valuable time
University Department Of
Information Technology Sonali C. 13
Cont…
 INFORMATION - key resource of
organization
 Accuracy
 Relevancy
 Timeliness
 Organization should have mechanism to
automate information gathering and
analysis process will beat the competition.
University Department Of
Information Technology Sonali C. 14
Business Modeling
 Creation of business model is must in ERP
systems- First activities in ERP.
 It should be mirror the business process.
 It is built on the basis of organization’s goal,
objective and strategic plan.
 Business model is built based on business
processing which is handled by individual to
achieve common goal
 Representation of business as 1 large system
(interconnection and interdependency of various
subsystem)

Business Modeling (cont…)
 Based on business model ERP is designed.
 In BM, model a business as integrated system
 Information is important resource
 Business Model is basically represented as
graphical form using flow chart or flow diagram
University Department Of
Information Technology Sonali C. 16
Integrated Data Model
 Critical step in ERP implementation- creation of
Integrated Data Model
 Organization can use ths integrated data for
analysis n decision making
 No departmental information system and no
departmental database
 Has to be in integrated database.
 Approach will reduce redundancy n provide
update information to entire organization.
University Department Of
Information Technology Sonali C. 17
Integrated Data Model (cont…)
 For integrated database to be effective
 Clearly Depict organization
 Reflect day to day transaction
 update continuously
 Should give snap-shot of organization any time
 Eg. Order is entered, sale is done, goods is
dispatched, db shld reflect those changes.
Inventory shld be reduced and account shld be
increased. (reflect instantaneously and
automatically)

derived from business
model
 Major Constituents
