Words of the President of our AbetInternational and of the holding J. C. Melo Technical Consulting Co.Inc, Dr. J. C. Melo, 78 years old with almost 60 years of continuous experience in IT, IT and business management: Exactly in the period of that world crisis you should study to get your MBA, in order to be much more competitive in the job market. At some point the economy is going to rebound. And when it does, it’s important to ensure that job teams remain excited to be part of the culture. Now more than ever it’s time to invest in talent.

Do not believe that a MBA should be obligatorily of long duration! We are not a "cheap" University, the five main reasons that explain our low cost MBAs are: 1. Our high Academic automation  (Unique in the World!), that include our revolutionary Semantic Content Analysis by computer, the result of our 14 years work in his research and creation.

Open source will becomë more rampant, agrees The 451 Group's Schneider.  

Today,  the challenge is intense and requires a strong integration across the value chain.  Enterprise Resource Planning is such a strategic tool,  which equips the enterprise with the necessary capabilities to integrate and synchronise the isolated functions into streamlined business processes in order to gain a competitive edge in the turbulent business environment.

Enterprise Resource Planning or ERP¹ software can aid in the control of many business activities,  like sales,  marketing,  delivery,  billing,  production,  inventory Management,  quality Management,  and human resources Management.

In addition to manufacturing,  warehousing,  logistics,  and Information Technology,  the ERP¹ would include accounting,  human resources,  marketing,  and strategic Management.

Advantages: In the absence of an ERP¹ system,  a large manufacturer may find itself with many software applications that do not talk to each other and do not effectively interface.  Tasks that need to interface with one another may involve: design engineering [how best to make the product],  order tracking from acceptance through fulfillment,  the revenue cycle from invoice through cash receipt,  managing interdependencies of complex Bill of Materials,  tracking the 3-way match between Purchase orders [what was ordered],  Inventory receipts [what arrived],  and Costing [what the vendor invoiced],  the Accounting for all of these tasks,  tracking the Revenue,  Cost and Profit on a granular level.

A Maintenance Agreement typically provides you rights to all current version patches,  and both minor and major releases,  and will most likely allow your staff to raise support calls.  While there is no standard cost for this type of agreement,  they are typically between 15% and 20% of the list price of the ERP¹ user licenses.

With closed-loop Management disciplines,  you are well on the way to true manufacturing excellence.

An ERP¹ system likely represents a enterprise's largest IT¹ investment,  so some enterprises prefer to implement ERP¹ in a more incremental fashion rather than all at once.

Once a system is established,  switching costs are very high for any one of the partners [reducing flexibility and strategic control at the corporate level].

Early adopters tend to be the smaller enterprises.  Many developers are intrigued by—and therefore gravitate toward—open-source solutions, says Timothy Burks,  a principal at PTRM Management Consultants.  

Disadvantages: Many problems organizations have with ERP¹ systems are due to inadequate investment in ongoing training for involved personnel,  including those implementing and testing changes,  as well as a lack of corporate policy protecting the integrity of the data in the ERP¹ systems and how IT¹ is used.

Implementing ERP¹ software is typically not an in-house skill,  so even smaller projects are more cost effective if specialist ERP¹ implementation consultants are employed.

SAP and those guys are not serving the mid-market—they provide more functionality than customers need at a price they can't afford, she says,  but open source is meeting the needs.

However,  anyone relying on open-source software should understand what kind of support mechanism is actually available,  says Peter Bohnert,  a principal at TDS [the integrator Alperin used].

In the late 1990s,  the solutions were again broadened to include systems that made IT¹ possible for Universities and other governmental entities to consider these solutions for their business processes.
