Why did SAP decide to implement an ecosystem and how did they realize it? What was crucial for its success? The ecosystem realization was more or less due to internet startup firms that challenged the SAP business model, companies like IBM and Microsoft pushed open protocols and web services to IT customers, witch again could manage a fully integrated system based on open source with “best of breed” suppliers. In that they also recognized that the overall IT knowledge also increased due to younger and better trained IT departments/persons inside companies. It was important that SAP are in the lead of the change, due to the first mover and also that they have a high knowledge regarding IT programing. In the book “The innovator´s solution” by Christensen and Raynor (2003) there is mentioned disruptive innovation, in this context we could say that the new entrants of open based programing is a huge threat and could possibly in the future change the industry. As we can se in figure 1 the new marked disruption is a possible threat for existing...

...“Why ERP?: A Primer On SAP Implementation” by Jacobs and Whybark, the overall situation can be summarized into three main parts. First of all, the novel introduces us with a manufacturing manager of a furniture plant called Billy. His boss, Mr. McDougle, who owns the company, wants to buy his brother’s furniture plant in Ohio. Virtually, Ohio plant has already implemented SAP R/3, and MR. McDougle desires to run the same software at both company in order to get efficiency. Consequently, Billy learns about EPR systems, and he has some considerations of its implementation. Moreover, Billy feels deeply that his plant is operating well with its existing software system (MRP). Then, as a result, Mr. McDougle sends Billy to an SAP training seminar. He attends it to learn more about the system and to decide whether this system is appropriate for the plant. Finally, Billy goes to Ohio to evaluate the SAP R/3 installation in use at there which works successfully, and to learn about how the plant works depending on a comparison between the two companies. He ends up with several concerns about transferring the software from the Ohio plant to his. Finally, Billy presents his final recommendations to his boss, and he gives some guidelines for how ERP systems should be implemented. He agrees that the system will be useful only in accounting sector to provide integrated financial statement at both plants. Mr. McDougle insists the ERP should be implemented as the system of the whole functional...

...John Kelly MIS 304 VB – SAP 1 Fall 2014 Founded in 1972 by five former IBM engineers, Systems, Applications, and Products in data processing, or SAP, is one of the largest software companies in the world. Prior to the advent Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, companies and customers would need to wait for their data to be processed in overnight batch jobs. The engineers behind SAP saw a demand for real time data processing and created ERP software, also known as SAP, to fill that demand. ERP systems are the backbone data processing infrastructure of many large corporations through their ability to integrate data from diverse business units like merchandising, sales, accounting, human resources, and supply chain into a cohesive whole. The data from all business units is collected into a single database that can be queried in real time by both users and other software. Users can manipulate this data through a variety of modules available for purchase, or through the...
