In this posting I have addressed more queries that a CXO will have on enterprise mobility.
Q: We are in the throes of implementing a new ERP system. What will be the right time to get into a mobility project?
A: Mobile solutions change the way business is conducted out of the office. Most standard implementations of ERP solutions cater to the processes within the workplace. Hence as mobility is contributing a set of new processes, it can be implemented independently. There is no need to wait for an ERP implementation to be completed, to get the benefits of mobility.
Q: Then won’t the IT team get stretched while implementing ERP and Mobility at the same time?
A: Ideally, Mobility should be implemented by the business department and not IT. There is very little of IT involved particularly as a lot of mobility implementations can be started on a cloud computing model.
Q: What are the issues in integrating mobile solutions with our ERP?
A: Unless real-time data is essential, a batch model for transfer of data to and from the ERP system is ideal, and that is often a non-issue. It will also reduce the on-line load on the ERP system. Integrate in real-time only when required and keep that in mind when selecting a mobility solution vendor.
