...Hossain Professor Department of Management University of Dhaka Submitted By: Sabbir Ahmed 3-11-21-065 Department of Management University of Dhaka Date of Submission 09.11.2014 Preface Theoretical knowledge, what we learn through our academic activities, is not sufficient to prepare ourselves for the life battle. Academic knowing is needed to be backed up by practical experience. In business studies, besides their usual theoretical course works, students are required to fulfill some practical assignments which are set by the course teachers to examine the depth of knowledge learned by the students. Most of the time, the students are required to study a practical working environment of any organization or industry to critically examine ‘what is actually going on’ in the real world. This document is prepared as a result of an assignment set by the honorable course teacher of the course “Fundamental of MIS”. .My duty was to describe “Information System of My Organization.” and report what I found. This is how this assignment paper titled “Information System of Standard Bank Limited.” was emerged. I believe this paper is a reflection of accumulation of my effort, learning and dedication.

...Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Enterprise Resource Planning systems (ERP) “have become increasingly popular over the last 15 years” (Guest Editorial, 2006). ERPs are “comprehensive, packaged software solutions seeking to integrate the complete range of business’s processes and functions in order to present a holistic view of the business from a single information and IT architecture.” (Helmut Klaus, 2000). Basically, ERP systems communicate and transfer data between departments within a company. “Having these systems has been shown to positively influence the firm’s financial performance; and because they are amount the most sophisticated and complex that a firm will every implement, most firms employ consultants to help them in customizing and implementing the vendor-supplied system.” (King, 2005) There are several types of businesses that use ERP systems to communicate within their company. These types of business include manufacturers and big-box retailers. ERP can be utilized in a manufacturing company to keep communication lines open between purchasing and receiving, parts and labor, warehouse, accounting, and inventory control. ERP systems can also improve the quality of work. “Manufacturers are forced to implement standard procedures and maintain accurate data for the system to work effectively. According to a survey of operations and quality assurance managers by consulting firm TR Cutler Inc., ERP systems also help improve quality by providing a record...

...Writing Assignment #1 Chapter 4, Real World Activity #1: Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) Prior to the implementation of a successful Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform, General Electric’s Global Procurement Group had the immense challenge of coordinating the multinational company’s massive supply chain. GE settled upon Aravo, a technology platform that, although relatively small and little-known, provided the functionality and cost savings that GE needed. This eventually became the largest SaaS implementation of all time, with over 100,000 GE procurement users able to access the same information on over 500,000 global suppliers at anytime, anywhere in the world. The following discussion will focus on other examples of successful SaaS implementations similar to the case of GE. SuccessFactors and Nissan SaaS applications are not only limited to supply chain functions. SaaS can be used to support a wide variety of key business functions and strategies. SuccessFactors, a company that was acquired in 2012 by SAP AG, is focused on providing cloud-based human capital management (HCM) software. SuccessFactors allows a company to better utilize its workforce’s full potential: corporate key objectives are cascaded down to individuals across all levels of the organization, ensuring that individual efforts are aligned with company strategies. Employees and managers monitor and focus on their goals and there is a heightened sense of visibility and accountability in performance evaluation...

... The five industries that were researched are banking, retail, judicial, law enforce, and military. The investigation included but not limited to be the history of the different networks, current network solutions, and than the future challenges of each varied business. The banking industry has evolved greatly due to the continuous improvement in technology and network solutions. The first bank in the United States of America was established by Congress in 1791 called the Bank of the United States. The first network innovation breakthrough that is a precursor to online banking was the invention of the telegraph. The telegraph was invented in 1844 by Samuel Morse which for the first time it allowed mankind the convenience and comfort of communication. For the first time it allowed banks to communicate across great distances in a qualified short period of time. The next great leap forward in network solutions in the banking industry occurred in the late 20th century. The wide distribution of automated teller machines (ATMs) by the mid-1980s gave customers 24-hour access to cash and account information. On-line banking through the Internet and banking through automated phone systems now allow for electronic payment of bills, money transfers, and loan applications without entering a bank branch. The current network of the banking industry has made it possible to deliver services throughout the branch bank network as well as across the Internet. Banking today is global...

...SAP What is that? What is that? Many people may be bewildered after watching one of the company's limited television commercials - the same question jokingly asked in the ING commercials a few years ago. And the acronym SAP, should not be confused for "soon as possible" or the white liquid that sips from the back of a tree, either. SAP stands for Systems, Applications, and Products in Data Processing. In this highly advanced technological era, it is almost unimaginable for companies not to implement systems such as SAP’s so as to boost their Information Systems. Since the global community has 'gotten much smaller', than say fifty years ago, it is imperative that companies design their Information Systems with integrated features so as to operate effectively between countries. The implementation of SAP technology is no longer an advantage but a competitive parity and its relevance toward the field of Management Information Systems is paramount. "Get in the game or fall off the wayside." The story and development of this giant of a company is remarkable. SAP grew from a very modest five member staff at the founding of the company in 1972 to approximately 53,000 employees 38 years later (sap.com ). That is like hiring an average of 1432 employees per year for the last 37 years; a significant contribution by many standards. The company's success and relevance to the world of Information Systems can be attributed to its founders, management, and employees realizing SAP's mission...
