AN OVERVIEW
OF
ENTERPRISE
Enterprise refers to a for-profit business started and run
by an entrepreneur.
Premium
Razor Blade
Aptly named after the product that invented the model, this business
model aims to sell a durable product below cost to then generate high-
margin sales of a disposable component of that product.
• Razor blade companies may give away expensive blade handles with
the premise that consumers need to continually buy razor blades in the
long run.
Example: HP (printers and ink) , Playstation (sony)
Reverse Razor Blade
Instead of relying on high-margin companion products, a reverse razor
blade business model tries to sell a high-margin product upfront. Then, to
use the product, low or free companion products are provided. This
model aims to promote that upfront sale, as further use of the product is
not highly profitable.
Example : Apple
Franchise
The franchise business model leverages existing business plans to
expand and reproduce a company at a different location.
Example: Domino's Pizza , Jollibee
Pay-As-You-Go
•Instead of charging a fixed fee, some companies may implement a pay-
as-you-go business model where the amount charged depends on how
much of the product or service was used.
•The company may charge a fixed fee for offering the service in addition
to an amount that changes each month based on what was consumed.

flow of transactional data from multiple sources

FEATURES OF A SMALL BUSINESS ERP SYSTEM
An ERP software usually contains customizable features
that you may pick and choose from. Smaller businesses and
startups should only pick the features they really need to save
money.
1. Human Resources Management

attendance, and manages employee records like performance
reviews, payroll benefits, and scheduling. Self-service HR
functionalities allow employees to request time off or view
their attendance records.
2. Financial Management
It tracks income and expenses through recorded transactions
and account structures in order to forecast profit and loss.
3. Inventory Management
This feature allows businesses to record information on items
they build, store, buy or sell. Keep up-to-date stock records to
avoid running out of items or buying items unnecessarily.
4. Customer Relationship Management (CRM) It manages
customer contact info, order histories, invoices, and quotes.
5. Supply Chain Management
This manages the flow of goods and services from raw
material acquisition to delivery of the finished product to
the customer.
6. Analytics and Reporting
These features measure key performance indicators (KPIs) like
income (Accounts Receivable) and expenses (Accounts
Payable), top-performing products, or open orders over a set
period of time.

MAPPING FOR
ERP MODULE
DESIGN
BUSINESS PROCESS MAPPING
Business Process Mapping is a framework used
to create visual representations of business
processes. Business process maps reveal the
relationship between operational steps and
inputs to produce an end-product or service .
Define Current State Business Processes
The first step in determining where you want to
be is to understand where you are. Knowing
how your business currently operates and having
business practices clearly documented is
important for several reasons.
Define Future State Business Processes
Once you have visual representation of the current
processes, you can identify delays, bottlenecks, and other
inefficiencies. Then, you can create a future state process
map that eliminates these issues.
Evaluate Technology Requirements to Guide ERP
Software Selection
Technology requirements needed to achieve the future
state should be ranked by priority/business value and
compared to various ERP vendor offerings to find a
solution that best covers all of your organization’s current
and future needs. From there, you can consider
integration, customization, and configuration
requirements to fine-tune the system to your unique
needs.
HARDWARE
ENVIRONMENT AND
IT’S SELECTION FOR
ERP
IMPLEMENTATION
Hardware Environment and its Selection for ERP
Implementation
Any ERP implementation attracts expenditure on account of
1. Operating System (OS)
2. Data base Management for hosting the system.
3. Network especially when the system is rolled out at different
locations.
4. Licensing with ERP packages
Hosting OS
• Unless a system is implemented from scratch, it may be a better
option to integrate the chosen ERP system with existing OS of the
organization, which will reduce upfront expenditure of
implementation.
• The important consideration is that whether the preferred ERP
system is compatible with current hosting platform.
• Robust and scalability of existing platform.
• In the OS sector (for mainframe and server segment various flavors
of UNIX (IBM, HP, Solaris etc.) are in offer
• Microsoft windows and Linux OS is also used to run some open
source ERP package but yet to be popular for commercial applications.
Supporting Database
• Most popular players of database market are Oracle, IBM, Microsoft
and Sybase, constituting about 90% of market share.
• If the existing platform of database does not belong to mainstream
offering, it may be prudent to explore an alternative.
• There are exceptions, such as an organization selecting QAD
solution, may consider use of "Progress" RDBMS with which this
package is most compatible.
• Another important factor relating to ERP platform is whether the
ERP system to be hosted in house or hosted remotely.
• If hosted remotely, all upfront cost relating to hardware, OS and
RDBMS are eliminated. The vendor may then charge an additional
hosting cost periodically.
