I'm just happy I'm kind of a sad wallflower. I'm the kind that is just there to observe and analyze what's happening around me.The kind that is only a loner from the inside but is stuck to a social group and my own reality. Someone who always hesitate whenever he has something to say. Someone who's quite scared to live young, wild and well, you know this cliche.

But you know what? It is the consequences of being like this that I hate the most.



Confrontations. I hate confrontations. Why can't some people just leave me alone and let me enjoy my space? Why do they have to ask me things that I don't even care about? Like, what I think about someone else facebook status and petty things like that. You see, the problem with me is that I fall prey to peer pressure so easily.

It's almost like there's a dementor slowly devouring my soul. So I wave my wand and say things. Sometimes things that I don't even mean. There are things I've said about other people which I never really meant. I say them to shun arguments, t-to end the conversation and to stop my friends from talking about others.

But I suck! I didn't realize that by putting weight to other's criticisms I'm just like them. It starts with a gossip and then it's slander. I hate it! I hate being like this! I'm afraid that the things I've said might be used against me or worse, that I might actually like it.

For now, I'm just happy that I can still be happy despite that. And that I can still evaluate myself and that I can still quietly observe people like I always do.

4. Choose a familiar Web Site, such as Dell, Amazon, and so on. Describe the order – to – cash process from the customer’s perspective as illustrated by that site.

Getting used to SAP, I would highly recommend that the owner of a custom furniture manufacturer use SAP over other ERP systems. However, I would introduce him to other ERP systems so that he can have other options that would best suit his budget and the scale of his company. I would be asking his budget allocation for the SAP project and convince him that while SAP can be costly, if he sees his business or businesses run long term, then so will the ERP system under SAP.

I would then gather around some data, perhaps more on the business processes and evaluate if his business is ready for ERP. I would ask him how many departments his business have as well as the transactions and relationship of the departments to one another. I would schedule meetings wherein I could explain to him the turnarounds of SAP and how it would greatly impact his business.



I would also tell him the risks and ways to avoid the most common mistakes in the implementation of SAP. I would one by one tell him the other benefits and drawbacks of ERP system so as to become transparent. I would be needing more data from him to further the study in the implementation of SAP to his company.

On a business standpoint, if I were to be an actual SAP or ERP Professional, then like in the funny image above I would strike a deal and make the most out of the project and call my client Wallet. Just kidding! :-)

5. Imagine that you are conducting a field based research project for your ERP class in a small local business. Assume that the business is a custom furniture manufacturer. In the course of your project, you tell the owner that you are using SAP B1 in your ERP class. The owner asks if he should be using SAP or some other ERP system in his business. What would be your response? What questions would you ask or what information would you need to answer that question?

Connecticut Microsoft Dynamics has compared Microsoft Dynamics GP to SAP and came up with 5 reasons which involved modules that relates to employee productivity, profitability, scalability, low cost of ownership and industry-leading vertical partner ecosystem.

These edges of Microsoft Dynamics GP over SAP means that the ERP should only be implemented based on the needs of the company. They would have to weigh in which areas they could maximize using their chosen ERP system. And start from there.

Using the ERP Software of FindTheBest.com, an unbiased data driven comparison tool, I have personally compared Microsoft Dynamics GP vs SAP.



And here's the result.

While have proprietary lincences and they greatly differ on the business size the can cater. Microsoft Dynamics can only cater small to mid size companies while SAP can do so much for they can cater to the needs of any business size.

Out of the 30 listed products or services under SAP's Industries module, Microsoft Dynamics GP only have Finance, Manufacturing, Professional Business Services, Services, and Wholesale Distribution.

The comparison goes on with SAP reigning over Microsoft Dynamics GP. Other features include customer relationship management, Financial features, human resource, project management, supply chain management, manufacturing and training services.

SAP fails in the comparison chart for their supported platform. Apparently, SAP does not support Windows and Windows OS but Miscrosoft gets even by not being able to support iOS (obviously) and surprisingly via Web.

When compared to SAP, Microsoft Dynamics may fail in terms of being fully functional to large scale businesses. Microsoft Dynamics is actually a good management system for its affordable scalability engineered to cost-effective support the changing requirements that are frequently necessary for costumers to adapt, grow and maintain competitive edge in their business.

3. Conduct research on an ERP package, such as Microsoft Dynamics GP or Microsoft Dynamics NAV, for small – to – medium sized (SME) organizations (between $30m and $ 1b in revenue). Compare that package for available modules, functionality, and so on to the SAP system.
