The US Navy enterprise resource planning architecture

AbstractIn March of 2020, the COVID19 pandemic had expanded to the United States of America (US). Companies designated as “essential” for the US had to maintain productivity in spite of the growing threat created by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. With this report, we present the response of one such company, the Lennar Corporation, a major homebuilder in the US. Within days, Lennar had implemented a morning health check via its enterprise resource planning system, to identify associates (employees) who were sick, or not in their “usual state of health”. With this survey, Lennar was able to ensure that no one sick would show up to work, and instead, would self-quarantine at home. Furthermore, with thorough contact tracking, associates exposed to COVID19 patients (suspected or RT-PCR test-confirmed), were also asked to self-quarantine. This survey, in addition to other safety measures, such as an overhaul of the company with nearly 50% of the company working from home, prolific communication, and many more measures, Lennar was able to function safely for its associates and successfully as an enterprise. The data that we present here are “real world data” collected in the context of working throughout a dreadful pandemic, and the lessons learned could be helpful to other companies that are preparing to return to work.

This paper describes the final results of a project aiming at addressing climate change by creating a GHG reduction platform for businesses with carbon management needs in global markets. The project was carried out during a New Product Development course in a bi-national program between The University of California at Berkeley (UCB) and the National University of Mexico (Universidad Nacional Auto´noma de Me´xico, UNAM) in Mexico City. The program features collaboration between the Engineering and Design Schools at UNAM and Engineering and Business Schools at UCB and the College of Architecture CCA. The project, The Carbon Collaborative (TCC) is aimed at consolidating and managing the wide variety of policies and instruments created by governments and environmental organizations to mitigate climate change, and the anthropogenic gas emissions emitted by industry in particular in the US and Mexico. Based on a web platform TCC will provide companies with information on carbon legislation and a centralized location to find transparent and certified methodologies for carbon emission assessment. The differences between the US and Mexican markets lead to advantages for each part. The US market is full of developed consulting enterprises, which is not the case in the Mexican arena, giving to TCC the opportunity of being pioneers to regulate and manage large and small emitters, government environmental agencies and ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) companies.

Patient Centric

After a conference call with a team of his business consultants, Damon Auer, Vice President of Health and Life Sciences at Tribridge, pondered on the challenges facing his team as they tried to expand sales of Tribridge’s new Microsoft cloud based software platform–Health360. Damon, an expert in transformational Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Customer Resource Management (CRM) programs, specialized in helping organizations achieve business performance improvements. He had already grown a $30 million company that was acquired by Tribridge in 2009 and he was instrumental in the development of Tribridge Health360. Damon had worked at Tribridge, an award-winning provider of cloud services specifically designed for Microsoft ERP solutions, for over 8 years. Tribridge provided consulting, implementation and systems integration services for all four lines of Microsoft Dynamics ERP applications. Microsoft partnered with Tribridge to offer Health360 in the MS AppSource marketplace and Tribridge offered the platform through sales teams in six countries and many other parts of the world showed interest in the technology. Damon and his team had conceived of the idea for Tribridge Health360, a patient-centric, population health management solution built on the Microsoft Dynamics CRM platform, in 2011. It was inspired by the transformational impact of the changing economic model (from volume to value) initiated by the U.S. Affordable Care Act (ACA) and their experience helping a major metropolitan healthcare provider enable the largest commercial Accountable Care Organization (ACO) in the US. It had its first customer in 2013 and was a solution that responded to the trend of moving away from the traditional claims payments and a provider-centric (physician) care model to one that was patient-centric and focused on quality of care. The potential advantage of this approach using the Tribridge platform was that it permitted the healthcare system to proactively and personally coordinate care for individuals. Auer looked out his office window and pondered the full platform commercialization effort building upon eight sales “pods” of four people each in the US and five other countries. Further engagement with Microsoft was an opportunity for his teams to increase their international presence, generate revenue, and develop more collaborations. But there were many players and potential partners in the healthcare space. As Auer thought about the decision, he realized he had a lot of questions. Should Tribridge invest in increasing sales in the international markets and to what extent? How would the technology need to change, and would changes like developing different versions of the software in different languages even be possible? Should Tribridge partner with other organizations abroad?

The World

SAP, the most pervasive enterprise resource planning software package in the world, is currently being used in several universities across the US. The use of this software varies from institution to institution, primarily by the degree in which it permeates the business curriculum. From a personal perspective, the author seeks to examine why SAP is fully integrated in some curriculums and why it is sporadically used in other curriculums. The question of how SAP can be successfully implemented into the business curriculum is addressed and explained.

Using Data

Facing a more competitive environment, institutions in the higher education sector increasing deploy Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems to facilitate better decision-making. Of more recent origin, business analytics approaches are supplementing this technology. However, based on anecdotal accounts, many of these organizations have not reaped the advantages that were sought from these advances. The current research explores this conundrum by proposing and testing a model of perceived ERP effectiveness. Using data collected in a survey of colleges in the US, the results show that although distinctions between information quality and systems quality tend not to be made, overall perceived input quality is associated with ERP effectiveness. ERP effectiveness is only indirectly effected by general information technology competence. Here, perceived organizational support exists as an important mediating construct but business analytics are not perceived to play a consequential role.
