I understand that Apple would want to create a device, such as the Apply watch, after the Fitbit and other fitness devices showed to be successful, but I agree with Donald that the Apple watch is too much. I also store personal information, such as card information and usernames and passwords that I would not want a hacker to obtain. I have never…[Read more]

Vendors need to make this process easier and more specific to buyers. Seeking out specific groups will make it easier for both parties – vendors and suppliers will be able to find each other quicker. Also, buyers should be given specific information that fit their needs. I think the dating site like system that the author’s company, Crushpath, has…[Read more]

Yes, I believe more companies will begin to implement a RFID system to help with their inventory process. RFID tags placed on products is used to track inventory, which better automates the entire system. I think NASA is a great example of a company reducing personnel while still being more efficient. NASA’s success will make more companies c…[Read more]

Avon began an ERP project to implement a SAP based order management system, which was […]

I feel that Avon is responsible for this poorly executed plan. WebSphere and the third party integrator may be partially at fault regarding the user interface and compatibility issue between the two systems. By failing to properly troubleshoot/test the working condition of their new system, Avon lost both customers and employees. Avon allowed the implementation of the new front-end system so they are ultimately responsible for their own loss.

Excellent example and questions on ERPs! This is a great article – should make for an interesting discussion tonight!

As far as who is to “blame” for the ERP failure I would agree with William and say mostly Avon with other third parties being partially responsible; ultimately Avon should have thoroughly tested the system before implementing in and they have and will continue to suffer for not doing so. The only group I would say deserves no blame is the sales reps.

I agree with the majority of the other posts in placing the blame on Avon. The fact that they hit some issues in testing the SAP system is no reason to abandon ship. That is why they test in the first place, if anything they could have held off on the global implementation of the new order management system a few months to work everything out. I think bringing in more experts on the system could have helped solved some of these problems.
