MODULE 2

Locate a company that you know and contact the IT manager and HR manager:

1. Show the list of benefits and limitations mentioned in this chapter and find out which
materialized after their systems integration implementations.

List of benefits of System Integration: The Increased revenue and growth, Leveling the
competitive environment, Enhanced information visibility, Increased standardization All of
these is important and useful but for my own opinion the most significant is Increased
Revenue and Growth because In general, one of the biggest benefits is reduction in inventory
and personnel costs due to integrated systems.

Limitation of System Integration: High initial setup costs, Power and interdepartmental
conflicts, Long-term and intangible ROIs, Creativity limitations

2. Ask them for a few ethical or security violation examples that may have occurred in their
organization. Also, how were they handled?

Improper or fraudulent billing are ethics violation that can involve charging customers for
services they did not receive. This most often happens in industries where the party who
receives the bill is not the party who received the services. The prevalence of this specific
ethics violation has led many insurance providers to issue a list of services to client who
could be subject to these offenses, encourage them to report discrepancies.
 MODULE 3

Answer the following:

1. Identify the four (4) type of System Integration?

 Information-Oriented Application Integration

 Business Process Integration-Oriented Application Integration
 Service-Oriented Application Integration
 Portal-Oriented Application Integration

2. Differentiate the four (4) type of System Integration?

 Information-Oriented Application Integration The information-oriented approach to

application integration professes that integration occurs between the systems by exchanging
simple information.
 Business Process Integration-Oriented Application Integration Application integration
is a strategic approach to binding many information systems together, at both the service and
information levels, supporting their ability to exchange information and leverage processes in real
time.
 Service-Oriented Application Integration Service-Oriented Application Integration allows
enterprises to share common application services as well as information. Enterprises accomplish
this sharing either by defining application services they can share, and therefore integrate, or by
providing the infrastructure for such application service sharing. Application services can be
shared either by hosting them on a central server or by accessing them inter-application

 Portal-Oriented Application Integration allows us to view a multitude of systems—

both internal enterprise systems and external enterprise systems— through a single user
interface or application.

3. How does an application service differ from information integration?

Information Integration are dealing with sharing, producing and consuming simple
information that do not need to change the source of the target systems and managing
complex issues is not required. On the other hand, Application Service can be shared either
by hosting them on a central server or by accessing them inter-application and when
abstracted into a larger application, it will have additional value.

MODULE 4

Answer the following:

1. Assume you own and run a small local coffee shop. You do all your ordering of ingredients
for your coffee shop by hand—using pencil, paper, mail, and telephone. All your sales are
recorded by hand in a book, and transcribed for filing of small-business taxes. How could a
small ERP system help your business become more efficient? What would an ERP system
allow you to do?

ERP System could replace the manual operation into automated operation, therefore, all the
needed ingredients in my coffee shop will be organized and stored, and can be accessed
easily when time needed, also providing track records of expenditures reports. It will also
replace the manual recording of sales, storing it in a system database for records that can be
accessed anytime for reviewing, as well as it will be helpful in computing and uploading filed
small-business taxes with accurate information.

2. Research the topic of ERP contracts on the Internet. How could ERP vendors make it easier
for customers to understand their licensing models? What could customers do to ensure a
contract contains all possible eventualities?

When selecting an ERP vendor and then negotiating contracts with that ERP vendor, clients
are rightfully concerned about the cost of the software. From a legal perspective, customer
goal as ERP licensing and litigation attorneys is to draft contracts that
 protect your legal rights in the event of litigation
 allow customer to manage the ERP implementation process to increase the likelihood
of a successful implementation and vendor relationship
 allow customer as much flexibility in using the software as is reasonable so as to
minimize unnecessary costs
