4/6/10 Class 15 Reaction

I didn't catch the answer for the second question the case 1 study, could you go over it one more time?


Do businesses normally have just one system from the "big three" or do they usually implement all three into the company?



Sorry it's such a short blog today!

    Kate:

    There is an analogy between gathering data for use in a cross-functional business system and flat files in legacy database systems. The transformational objective is similar in both cases: for the database environment (from flat files to database management systems) and the cross-functional business systems (from DBMSs across different departments in the organization to one central data repository in the cross-functional system).

    A large Fortune 500 corporation (e.g., GE, Dupont) will have several Big cross-functional systems (CRM in one place, ERP in another place, SCM in a third place, etc.). Medium sized companies (e.g., with just a couple of thousand employees) will find that one cross-functional system is all they need and all they can handle to do business successfully.
