Q3: THE STORY BEHIND ERP?

ANS: AFTER 2ND WORLD WAR, LOT OF COUNTRIES IN THE
WORLD, THEY ESTABLISHED MANY
COMPANIES/FACTORIES/BUSINESSES ACROSS THE WORLD. IN
ORDER TO RUN A FACTORY, YOU NEED MONEY AND THEN YOU
NEED PEOPLE APART FROM THIS YOU ALSO NEED A PROCESS OR
METHOD TO BE SUCESSFUL AND EARN MONEY.
AS A RESULT OF THIS, LOT OF INDUSTRIALIZATION HAS
HAPPENED. THEN FROM 1940 TO 1950, ACROSS THE WORLD,
THERE IS HUGE DEVELOPMENT IN INDUSTRIES. IN THE YEAR
1952, COMPUTER WAS INVENTED IN USA.
THEY USED THIS COMPUTER TO RECORD DATA OR DO MANUAL

DATA ENTRY. THEY WERE RECORDING DATA SUCH AS HOW
MUCH MATERIAL I BOUGHT? HOW MUCH HAVE I USED? WHAT
IS THE AMOUNT OF MONEY I SPENT ON BUYING IT? AND WHAT
IS MY COST IN MANUFACTURING? AND THEN WHAT IS MY
PROFIT AFTER SALES? THESE THINGS WERE RECORDED IN
COMPUTERS.
SINCE MANY OF THEM USED COMPUTERS, THEIR INDIVIDUAL
NEEDS CHANGED AND ESPECIALLY FOR INDUSTRIES, THEY NEED
TO RECORD ALL THEIR FACTORY OR COMPANY INFORMATION.
SO THIS MADE THE COMPUTER INDUSTRY TO COME UP WITH
SOME SOFTWARE THAT IS SPECIFIC TO ENTERPRISE AND THAT IS
HOW THE BIRTH OF ERP HAPPENNED.
Q4: WHAT IS ERP?:
E – ENTERPRISE (A COMPANY OR GROUP OF
COMPANIES/FACTORIES)
R – RESOURCE (MANPOWER/PEOPLE- HR, FINANCE.ADMIN,
MARKETING, SALES)
P – PLANNING (HOW, WHEN WHERE WHY? TO DO THINGS)
YEAR 1960-1970, ENTIRE WORLD HAS SEEN A HUGE
DEVELOPMENT IN SOFTWARE INDUSTRY, MANY GIAGANTIC OR
VERY BIG COMPANIES WERE ESTABLISHED, ONE OF THE OLDEST
SOFTWARE COMPANY WAS IBM – INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS
MACHINES
Q5: THE BIRTH OF SAP?:

5 OF IBM ENGINEERS IN A PLACE CALLED WALLDORF IN
GERMANY RESIGNED FROM IBM AND USING THE TECHNOLOGY
OF IBM AND THEIR KNOWLEDGE THEY BUILT AN ERP CALLED

SAP. THAT IS HOW SAP WAS BORNE IN THE YEAR 1972.
Q6: TYPES OF ERP: THERE WERE AND ARE MANY ERP

SYSTEM/SOFTWARE IN THE WORLD
EXAMPLE: BANN, ORACLE, SAP, MICROSOFT DYNAMICS, JD
EDWARDS, PEOPLESOFT, ZOHO ETC
THE ABOVE ERP PRODUCTS HAVE COMPETITION AMONG THEM
AND SOME SURVIVED AND SOME DIED. JUST LIKE IN A POND OR
LAKE WHERE THERE ARE SMALL FISHES AND LARGE FISHES. THE
LARGE FISH STARTED EATING SMALL FISH AND IN THE END ONLY
FEW FISHES WERE LEFT IN THE POND.
SIMILARLY IN ERP, BIG ERP COMPANIES EITHER BOUGHT SMALL
COMPANIES OR TIEDUP WITH THEM OR THEY MERGED WITH
OTHERS. EXAMPLES ARE BELOW.
ORACLE BOUGHT PEOPLESOFT (HRMS – HUMAN RESOURCE
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM COMPANY IN ERP) LATER THIS BECAME
FROM PEOPLESOFT HRMS TO ORACLE HRMS
ORACLE BOUGHT JD EDWARDS (FINANCE AND PROCESS) LATER
THIS BECAME ORACLE JD EDWARDS OR ORACLE FINANCIALS
BANN BECAME DEAD, ZOHO IS STILL THERE, MICROSOFT
DYNAMICS ALSO BECAME POPULAR
Q7: WHY WE SHOULD LEARN SAP OR WHY IS SAP THE NO 1 ERP

THE WORLD, WITHOUT INSTALLING ANY SOFTWARE).
