The motivation for writing this article lies in another article a few days ago: http://blog.csdn.net/xukun_com/archive/2007/04/27/1587805.aspx did not expect that there will be so many reactions, one response is too tired, simply write again, I think I have not mentioned many things in the previous article. There is a lot of content that I have mentioned in the previous article, such as business content, stability, scalability, and so on. I think it is very interesting that, why do many people think that the companies on the SAP system are all swallowed up by a thief boat? If so, isn't my job too easy? Why are you still here? According to your response, it is basically the user of the SAP system. So here, I will discuss some of my views from other perspectives. You are also welcome to continue to correct me.
I. From the perspective of Enterprise ManagementMany of the enterprises that use the SAP system turn off the management information systems of some self-developed or previously purchased software vendors at home and abroad, and then switch to the SAP system. If they really think that the previous system can meet their needs, why should they throw a lot of money to sap? SAP seems very expensive, but we should not look at investment only, but also the effect-whether it is reducing inventory or reducing business risks, it will bring huge benefits to enterprises; the stable operation of SAP is even more important to enterprises. Once the enterprise's core management information system is shut down due to a fault, even if it goes down for half a day, the loss may be more serious than a set of SAP systems. The purpose of any management information system is to support the long-term stable development of enterprises. This is the first priority. the simplicity of operations is definitely a balance in the face of such systems, this is why ERP projects are generally called top projects. Based on my experience, bosses usually consider the convenience of using the system by some external partners (such as channel dealers). As for internal employees, why do you put the importance of recording fewer orders before the overall management efficiency of the Enterprise? So I really ask those brothers and sisters who complain about their business operations and the system becomes inconvenient to understand this point, and you can try to complain to the bosses about Inconvenient operations, see what the results will be. Here I think again that when Huawei was engaged in the internal process reorganization of the enterprise, the boss Ren zhengfei said with a sound voice: "We just want to make it fit !". Obviously, in the face of flexibility and standardization, enterprise leaders sometimes firmly choose the latter. In their minds, when an enterprise develops to a certain stage, the rule will become more and more important. Any negligence may bring the Enterprise into a desperate situation. If there is no seemingly rigid standard process, it is difficult to support long-term enterprise development. I think that's why some people laugh at the "rigidity" of SAP content, but they still cannot help enterprises move towards sap. However, I am not saying that sap is the only way out for enterprise informatization. Like Walmart and Dell, they all adopt their own management information systems and obtain huge benefits, but it does not seem to prevent Suning Appliance and Lenovo from seeking help from SAP. After all, the SAP system is still one of the many optional tools, and decision makers of every company will choose the most suitable one based on their own needs. (This article first in Xu Kun blog http://blog.xukun.com, welcome to post, but please indicate the source, thank you !) Moreover, I believe that "Lu yaozhi Ma is always rooted in the hearts of the people." Even if all products on the current market are available, the value of SAP will become more and more clear. Any attack on SAP will disappear with the passage of time. One of the most obvious examples is a leading domestic appliance company, who plans to use sap as a beacon, there was a poor relationship with SAP for a period of time and it was widely publicized by competitors of SAP. But even so, no one can give up sap. The result is that the company is more fully adopting other SAP solutions, but no one cares about this.
Ii. SAP spiritIn fact, I believe that sap is not only advanced in its business content and technical architecture, another important thing is that sap has a group of outstanding employees and partners who have been working hard. At this point, I can say modestly that sap's employee turnover rate and the proportion of SAP practitioners who abandon SAp are the lowest in the world, this is especially valuable in the currently dry China IT industry. For a large number of enterprises, do you want to spend a lot of effort to build a management information system to be updated or upgraded in the next few years, but find that developers and even the entire development team do not know where to go? Are we still looking at this kind of thing? Even some well-known software companies in China cannot easily cut down a product line? What's more, those small development teams that take a single shot in another place? Let's look at sap China. How many employees have already won eight or even ten years of awards? This means that how many years ago you used SAP products, and now you can still find those people who once beat you. Isn't this sap value? Let's look at the consultants who work in SAP. Even though some of them are still somewhat immature, I believe most of them will always be devoted to in-depth sap research, if sap is as useless as some people have said, I would like the person who jumps out to accuse sap to study sap at least. At least I need to say where SAP is insufficient, I have never met such a person. Is it because SAP is obsessed with these people? Yes, I am only a small sap presales, but I dare to go to the customer alone to recommend the SAP solution after several rounds of attacks by another competitor to the customer, the reason why the sap presales team that most of the time appears in customers looks thin is that we have enough confidence that the obscure sap teams behind us are trustworthy. ASIDE: Some people are talking about how to develop their own ERP systems in China. They seem to have to compete with sap. I have never said that China does not need its own software system, but sometimes these are not the only two problems. It's like China has a attack, isn't it still buying su30 or su33? Before China is building a better aircraft carrier, isn't it necessary for someone to bring back wageliang thousands of miles away?
