Implementation Management

This chapter presents a case study of an overview of the efforts of Texas Instrument’s (TI’s) internal and external ERP implementation, with a focus on linking its ERP system in a global e-commerce setting. This linkage is especially important since it had been stated in TI’s strategic plan as an objective of this project to provide visibility of the ERP system to external constituents via Web linkages along with the objective of standardizing internal processes and important information technology systems to support market needs. Thus, its ERP system is central to managing its supply chain and B2B e-commerce linkages from both a customer and supplier perspective. Issues faced by TI are clearly outlined with future questions also posed in the final section.

Organizational Functions

The advent of information technology and the consequent proliferation of information systems have lead to generation of vast amounts of data, both within the organization and across its supply chain. Enterprise information systems (EIS) have added to organizational complexity, and at the same time, created opportunities for enhancing its competitive advantage by utilizing this data for business intelligence purposes. Various data mining tools have been used to gain a competitive edge through these large data bases. In this paper, the authors discuss EIS-aided business intelligence and data mining as applicable to organizational functions, such as supply chain management (SCM), marketing, and customer relationship management (CRM) in the context of EIS.
