rise applications this blog was created to help cios program leads solution architects and administrators saturday may 18 2024 digital transformation unleashed you re the cio cdo sitting in your weekly update executive meeting with the ceo cfo coo and others you start the meeting with the priorities of the meeting and for the first time you see business transformation first thing that crossed your mind is this question what is that next you hear the details of the business transformation and the overall strategy everybody in the room was asked to present your vision and for you it s the digital transformation a subset of business transformation to those who haven t had any experience with business transformation here are some business events that can trigger a transformation improve customer experience rebranding merger acquisition business expansion digitize the brand experience of course there are more other events but essentially you can see that all of them have business impact if you ve done digital transformation then good for you so you know what you need to present if not you need to think about your vision and strategy do you have a framework that you ve used in the past if you re reusing a framework make sure you know the end state of the transformation and modify accordingly like the pic below you should know your destination and create the digital vision to get there as there are many path that you need to consider what is constant in digital transformation multi year roadmap creation reviewing of technology stack capabilities large budget cross functional change management different technology resources functional technical others may 18 2024 8 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels digital transformation sunday july 30 2023 e commerce discount types in the world of retail today every retailer is trying to find ways and be creative to attract online customers to attract your attention and make a conversion they publish different ads in their websites some of these ads can come in discounts like buy one get one 50 off or free shipping to make sure the experience is captured by retailers and convert you to a customer then later as a repeat customer the system they re using should be capable and flexible to offer these types of ads there are different types of ecommerce website discounts and normally called cart discounts it can be free shipping percent discounts or dollar amount discounts here are sample of each free shipping very common in ecommerce sites like amazon who percent discounts dollar discounts july 30 2023 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest saturday august 13 2022 signs to upgrade or move to a new erp platform is it time to upgrade or move to a new erp interesting question but w hy are you asking this question in the first place there are several reasons it can be business related or technology challenges whatever the reason you don t need to make the decision alone here are some scenarios that businesses might encounter why they re thinking about upgrading or moving business related we ve experienced rapid growth we re opening new warehouses distribution centers we re hiring new people and doubled our headcount this system can t grow as fast we ve been using this system since we started the company it s been x years and this system is not doing what we want anymore we ve introduced new businesses and new channels the system was upgraded with add ons and work around but it s not working for us we have compliance requirements we need to change our processes but this system is not flexible enough technology challenges this version has reached its end of life eol and won t be supported by the vendor anymore i think it s time to find another platform we ve customized the heck out of this system we have hired developers to maintain the system for years the total cost of ownership tco is too high that it s better for us to upgrade to the latest version or find another system we need to integrate our erp with other systems so we don t need to duplicate our work the erp technology is so old that it s not possible do any of this apply to your situation surprise you re not alone most companies go through this situation every 5 to 10 years is there a quick answer to your question the answer is no let s answer the who why what and how who can help answer the question this is a collective effort between your it your erp partner vendor if they re different and i highly recommend a 3rd party consultant who doesn t have any vested interest to your vendor or partner what s the best process to get the answer there are several ways to do this and it all depends on your time how much do you want to spend and your resources the best way is rfp or request for proposal this will require more time but it s very detailed and will give you the best result why do we need resources time erp is not just a system or application erp consist of different processes order to cash otc procure to pay ptp and others you need to get the business requirements from each business process owners stakeholders once you complete this process then you consolidate this to your rfp you send this to your erp partner and maybe even other erp vendors how can we know from the process that we should upgrade or stay with our current system if you decide to do the rfp route then at the end of the process you will fill out a vendor scorecard and if your current vendor or current system comes out as the top scorer then you don t need to spend money upgrading the most difficult part of this process is finding the right system and partner rfp will help you find both if you do this process methodically don t rush the process find a good partner to help you with this process because like i said you don t do this every full moon duke del prado has over 25 year s experience helping businesses find the right systems and partners for different enterprise applications like erp crm ecommerce pos edi and others august 13 2022 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels business process erp migration thursday august 11 2022 erp oracle netsuite cloud it s been a while since my last post and i m excited to share what i ve been doing the last few months i ve renamed my blog as well to digital transformation as i feel the transition to a broader content makes more sense my topic for this post is oracle netsuite a cloud erp for medium sized companies which they claim is the first cloud erp in the market i can t argue with this being in the market for almost 25 years as around 2010 we migrated to this system before the oracle acquisition and it was already in the cloud my current company implemented netsuite last year and now my team is supporting the system i can see much improved performance and more functionalities both in order to cash and procure to pay i m learning more about this system so more content in the weeks months to come you can learn more about netsuite here business software business management software netsuite august 11 2022 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels erp oracle netsuite saturday april 30 2022 migrate from dynamics to sap s 4hana it is almost night and day when you get involve with this migration i m on my 3rd system migration from dynamics ax gp to sap s4hana and there s always something unique in each implementation one uniqueness is the s4 platform on premise vs cloud now there s hybrid data migration is another unique criteria to consider the process is almost the same as i remember a wricef or ricefw was the basis of all the development work and all other requirements like functional specs change management master data etc were documented every detail is documented and this is where the implementation approach differs from dynamics and sap this is why i said from the start it s like night and day in a typical dynamics implementation unless the partner don t have the resources you normally will deal with a pm a functional consultant developer and maybe a report writer but the developer can fill this in some instances the biggest difference is the functional consultant which in a dynamics project is normally your resource for financials distribution supply chain interfaces and reporting in sap you have functional consultants in almost every module well that s what i ve experienced so far you have one or two in fi co one each for otc ptp and if you do inventory management mts mto you need at least one on the technical side you have one for conversions one for sap pi po one or 2 for reporting more than one for development abap based on wricef and one for training there s more required for hana hardware and database to summarize the investment for the migration includes the following sap s 4hana licenses do multiple negotiations before you commit to sap hana hardware cloud hybrid on premise azure and aws are pretty stable now implementation partner which can be one or multiple and i ve done 3 partners at once not recommended internal resources you d rather over invest here as you don t want to scramble looking for a resource in the middle of the implementation get an overall program lead not just a project mgr who will oversee functional technical infrastructure financials and more important change management don t underestimate the last one as you can be on schedule and budget but if your business partners are not happy with the transition then they won t consider it a success internally april 30 2022 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels dynamics erp sap s 4hana wednesday january 22 2020 microsoft in retail in one of my previous post i ve mentioned the lack of investment from microsoft in the epm space in this post i ll touch on the retail space and some transformations that organizations partake i was with microsoft dynamics between the years of 1990 to 2000 and very privileged with the opportunity in the last 10 years it has been unfortunate though that most of my engagements mostly retail and cpg have been moving microsoft to sap why is that it took me awhile to realize that there were commonality between these companies here are some of my observations 1 scalability they have outgrown microsoft products their processes have become more complex and existing investments cannot scale 2 relationship they don t have direct relationship with microsoft so they find another partner to help them with their transformation 3 support they need more support from their partners including technology processes and data their current partner don t have all expertise they can only do one not all 4 technology they want to explore new technologies like cloud big data iot and others even though microsoft can fill these space the companies don t know who to contact if you look at the reasons microsoft could ve easily filled the gaps sap does this pretty well their regional ae s are in constant contact with their clients they re constantly asking and they take care of companies that carry weight in the verticals brands that matter in that space retail is one vertical where microsoft can capture some market share here are some reasons 1 retail companies have complex processes from store operations to back office microsoft have all the toolset to help but they re not selling it bundled they need to go to these retailers and sell their products from store to back office show how the pos can integrate with microsoft dynamics inventory then show them analytics thru power bi do a retail suite of solutions that can solve a retailers process from end to end 2 microsoft needs to put more investment in their retail space they have the products to scale up and capture a market share but it s not happening they re even losing clients and more importantly brands that matter in the space sap talks directly to top brand customers to know what processes are changing because of regulations compliance tariffs and others in the enterprise applications technology takes a back seat cio s look at vendors who can solve complex processes use best practices able to provide solutions to regulatory or country specific requirements and others i can go on but my point here is microsoft does have the products but they need to understand the business needs and how they re going to selling their products effectively i ve seen demos where the cfo and cio just walk out of the room because they ve missed the mark so bad sap is not untouchable they just know how to sell their products well and microsoft needs to learn from them january 22 2020 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest saturday march 02 2019 amazon piece of
