What do you think is the importance of having ERPM on Work at Home setup?

- Well, we learn in our past lesson how ERP give a company competitiveness due to its
function, having a centralized system means all department have its access to one database.
That’s what important to uniform to avoid any risk might happen, and how its important to
work at home setup? of course an employee must have an access to the data that must
needed, to do the task. Employee like an sales, payroll, general accountant or other to do
with the , files ,other documents, other recording, and transaction. They need those so to
become easy for them ERPM are the solution for quick process of transactions or other
activity. So, the employee don’t needed to ask for every departments and we can avoid any
risk with that. So even though work from home to avoid expenses in rent, a business could
be competitive in an industry and continue its transaction.

- Mostly in pandemic many works from home occurs, and ERPM would be an advantage to
other companies to be still in industry and continuing business activity. Still many businesses
have its employee do work from home because it possible because of ERPM where they can
access data whether from home or other place like CEO’s whose travels around.

How the pandemic affects the current economy?

- Because of the pandemic outbreak not only the health workers and front liners are affected,
but it affects also the economic and financial markets it’s because of unemployment, lower
income, disruption of transportation, service and manufacturing. This is the consequence of
pandemic and everyone is on lockdown. In pandemic we faced slow in productivity of the
manufacturing company, force close of business because there’s no employee are allowed
outside, no transportation because the disease can be transfer by contact. There’s no much
consumer, no enough supply because of hoarders, and the rate of premature death
increase. Pandemic badly affect the economy and daily live of vendors and small time
business or the starting business in the country. And also the other employee who work for
restaurants and office affected because of company lessen their employee because of
financial fragility cause of the pandemic.
Is business who have ERPM more effective in Office based or Work from Home?

- I think it advantages both situation on actual office and work from home. Even the CEO who
go to many places. ERPM is a centralized database because of this every department and
authorize employee can access to the database and it prohibits any risk or duplication of
data, in terms of the effectivity of the ERPM is helps you to access the data even within or
without the company, as long as you have the access there’s no problem with that. ERPM is
for you to access quickly to important data within the transaction and operation of the
company. So for me I don’t see any problem if you’re an employee that work from home
and from the office because you can get the data even you’re not in the actual office.
