The Integration Process of Enterprise Resource Planning Systems

Bilişim teknolojilerindeki son yıllarda meydana gelen büyük ilerlemeler, hem imalat hem de hizmet sektörlerinde yeni yöntem ve sistem yaklaşımların ortaya çıkışını tetiklemiştir. 1990’larda söz konusu gelişmelerle yaygınlaşan ERP (Kurumsal Kaynak Planlaması) sistemleri, bütünleşik sistem çerçevesi ile işletmelerin tüm iş süreçlerini yönetmesini mümkün kılmış ve işletmeler bugünün yüksek değişkenlik içeren küresel ekonomik ortamında rekabetçi avantajlar sağlayabilmiştir. Fakat genel olarak, bu avantajların edinimi, ERP bütünleşimi sürecinde kayıplara sebebiyet verebilmektedir. Dolayısıyla, ERP sistemini bütünleşik bir sistem olarak düşünmek gerekliliği yeni ERP bütünleşme çabalarını şekillendirmektedir. Bu çalışma, bu ihtiyaçları ortaya koymakta ve ERP sistemlerini seçim, uygulama ve uygulama sonrası safha olarak incelemektedir.

The great developments in information technology have triggered the emergence of new methods and system approaches in both manufacturing and service industries. ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) systems, well known with these improvements in 1990s, enable the companies manage all their business process by an integrated system framework. Thus, enterprises could be gaining a competitive advantage in today’s highly changeable and global economic environment. But in general, the challenge of acquisition of these vantages causes losses in ERP integration process. Hence, the necessity of considering the ERP system as an integrated system shapes the new ERP integration efforts. This study allows for these needs and reviews the ERP system which is three-tiered and consists of selection, implementation and post implementation processes.
