It Strategy for Large Corporation: Erp/Mrp/Crm, Unix/Linux/Windows, Microsoft/Java

Combining Microsoft business Solutions Great Plains Erp with non-Microsoft business ideas or Crm: Lotus Notes Domino, Oracle, Db2

There are complicated opinions on construction your established large business It system. Some companies prefer to be "Microsoft shop", others prefer to stick to Java world. In our view large business should try equilibrium its Erp in some layers: Hardware, Operating System, Database Platform, Erp/Crm software vendor. The history always proofs that staking on one thing statistically has a opening to fail, remember Windows/Mac battle in the middle of 1990th? Then Java resurrected Unix world in the end of the 20th century. All these facts just tell us that any prediction of the future should not be accurate, because the factors we could reconsider in the prediction recipe will be superceded by new conceptions. Good example would be C cross-platform programming language - any way now we are crazy about thin client - so where is C longevity? So, in 2004 we merged some companies to serve large corporate businesses, positioning us as cross platform integrators and the company, envisioning harmony between complicated computer platforms and conceptions. Let us give you our bullets below:

Solaris 10

o Microsoft business Solutions pluses - old view that Os should be isolate from the Db platform and from your accounting application doesn't work when we reconsider modern Microsoft: it now offers all in one: Microsoft Great Plains/Navision/Axapta/Solomon/Microsoft Crm/Small business Financials Erp, based on Ms Sql Server Db platform and all this nice suite is working under Microsoft Windows 2003 Server. This is very nice to have and the price would be lower, any way you are in the business space and conceptions of Microsoft corporation, which unquestionably deserves you to reconsider either Erp or Crm explication to be trusted and handled into Microsoft guys

o Erp/Accounting/Mrp - we suppose that the old days of costly Erp application are going to the history. Nowadays we see the trend to use reasonably inexpensive and functionally adequate applications, based in decent Sql platform. So, our hint is - do not pay for "high end" Erp/Accounting ideas and rather reconsider trustworthy budget explication as a platform for light customization

o Business System/Crm - Crm shop should be determined a mature one in 2010, when such pioneers as Siebel will cross 15 years of the existence. Again in our view you'd rather pay for small or moderate customization to budget Crm explication to have work done. Microsoft Crm or SalesLogix would do the job

o Oracle Financials - we are supporters of the companies who decided to go with Oracle Financials or Sap and have their Crm/Business administration ideas to be located on the Microsoft Windows platform. Microsoft Crm would combine with Oracle
smoothly

o Microsoft Crm - in our view large publicly traded business should reconsider using Lotus Notes Domino for document workflow and Crm and when adopting Ms Crm - it should reconsider using Domino as customary email server - see our Ms Crm - Lotus Notes Domino email connector description.
