consistency, efficiency
• Financial:
– Integrating applications saves money
• Organizational:

Conception vs. Reality
• Integrated System
• In fact, vendors usually sell modules
– Would like to sell full system
– Buyers reduce cost, risk, by starting smaller
scale
• Risk of converting entire system
• Complex cost impact

SAP: Best Practices
• A key to original product
• Davenport [1998]:

Firm’s vary in what is best for them
Business world dynamic
Rigid approach has dangers
If a firm develops a competitive advantage,
they give it up by adopting “best practices”

Changing Nature of IT
• Technology is highly dynamic
• ERP projects often take years to install
– Vendors are responding by expediting
• As long as you do it their way
• Improved versions may be on market by the
time you install your system
– This is one advantage of an ASP

Financial techniques for
Capital Budgeting
1. Payback
2. Discounted cash flow
3. Cost-benefit analysis
These are the more formal mechanisms implied by
Hinton & Kaye as capital budgeting
Anything with as great an impact as ERP needs to
have some estimate of cost, benefits
–
Need to recognize that precise numbers not worth
obtaining

Mabert et al. [2000]
Survey of 400+ manufacturers
• Even for ERP systems, only 53% used formal
methods
– For smaller IT projects, payback most popular
• Most systems expected to take years to install
– Trend is to make much faster
• Cost varies widely
– You have a choice as to where you spend
– Training tends to be underbudgeted
• Not all expect big return

Taiwan ERP
C.-T. Yeh, M. Miozzo, T. Vurdubakis, Journal of Enterprise Information
Management 19:1, 2006, 30-49
• International vendors (like SAP)
– BPR based on Western practice
– The rest of the world not necessarily the same
– Has created many misfits
• Especially in small-to-medium sized enterprises
– Business opportunity for small domestic
vendors
Korea Telecom 2007
Olson: ERP 2
Taiwan’s industrial success
• Flexible, decentralized network of SMEs
– Focus on export trade in consumer goods
– Agility & adaptability important
• Vendor ERPs don’t support that
– BPR forces clients of ERP to “do it their way”
• They (SAP) think they know better
– Problems
• First, middle, last name doesn’t fit Indian, Chinese
• Egypt – pricing determined after receipt of goods – Oracle
didn’t do it that way
Korea Telecom 2007
Olson: ERP 2
ERP Revolution
• SAP claims organization can create its own
solution
– By selection of modules
• In reality, organizations required to re-engineer
their business processes to conform to ERP
– Standish Group – 90% of ERP implementations have
cost, schedule overruns
– Many failures – FoxMeyer, Hershey’s
