WEB based ERP EVOLVE

"Web Based ERP is an exotic subject amongst the CFO’s, CEO’s and CTO’s of the corporate world. Adding to the confusion are so called consultants who sell static legacy software under the pretext of ERP and then are some giant database companies which sell only their database fancily packaged as General Ledge systems which encompasses all aspects of business. They have over a period of time created some myths and propagated them to the fullest so as to scare away people from Web Based ERP."

9 Common Myths about Web Based ERP systems

Once upon a time there was a wise old man who used to earn his means by providing account writing services to firms across the business district. He was a revered man as he was the main person who knew the finances in and out of a firm, even better then the owner, since he was holding the key to the business .. the knowledge of company’s capital in flows and out flows and knew where exactly the company stood.

He was the sacred Munimji… who sometimes used to work for one firm but more often than not used to also work on the side (part time) for other competitor firms and used to visit their firms either on week ends or after his 9 hours were over at his main work place.

The Munimji or the Accountant who is now replaced by the Chartered accountant used to write the accounts in big books known as "Chopda" or large leather bound ruled ledgers and he used to burn mid night oil to tally to the last cent or paise as the case may have been.

Slowly over the years with the advent of Computers, and technology and the pace of business required that people were forced to buy computers and software to replace the accounting books and were simply transcribed from books to software.

For years firms used to have two sets of accounts one on books written manually and one on computers as man still did not trust machines, and that was valid to some extent as machines were clumsy often tended to break down and usually had to be coaxed to start and work properly.

However, as technology evolved, more people became computer literate more computer systems were bought and the computer were being more reliable day by day and they became faster, people slowly did away with manual accounting books. And then came the explosion of simple double entry book keeping systems by the dozens.

A few of those systems are in existence even today after 2 decades or more albeit they have changed their external appearance but underneath the same old DOS based engine is chugging away merrily.

The old stalwarts who have stuck to these systems have helped propagate the following myths about Web Based ERP Systems

1. Web Based ERP Means more work and procedures
2. Web Based ERP will make many employees redundant and jobless
3. Web Based ERP is the sole responsibility of the management
4. Web Based ERP is just for the managers / decision makers

6. Web Based ERP is just for the ERP implementation team
7. Web Based ERP slows down the organization
8. Web Based ERP is just to impress the customers
9. Web Based ERP package will take care of everything

Well let me assure you that the above are just myths and not facts about Web Based ERP.
