ERP @ KINAMU

ERP does not necessarily have to be complex

One of our key principles at KINAMU is that ERP does not necessarily have to be complex. Actually, ERP is no more than business related „common sense" transferred into an IT environment. Today, ERP systems offer far-reaching standardized functions and processes which may easily be adjusted to individual needs. There is no reason why we should outline ERP systems as more complex than they actually are. With the right approach you may very soon draw benefits from an ERP system.

The most essential and evident advantages which may be retrieved easily are:

  • Transparency of all processes at a company
  • More efficiency thanks to a shared and unified database
  • Reduction of redundant work thanks to integrative processes and one shared database within the company
  • Enhanced work efficiency thanks to automation and increased support with routine tasks
  • Better and quicker decisions on management level thanks to a well-founded and easily analyzable database which displays the company's current situation

 

To implement ERP does not have to be time-consuming

Contrary to the widely held belief that an ERP implementation generally takes 6 to 9 weeks we believe that by applying the right approach and considering several issues the implementation process may already be completed in 2 to 6 weeks.

 

The 80:20 rule - live with the gap

An ERP installation does not have to cover all processes right from the start. On the contrary, sometimes it is even better to only pave the way for a system's further development at a later stage. And this is the approach we at KINAMU pursue. Our method is to create the basis on a system which allows further growth and development of your company and your ERP solution.

 

Standardization wherever possible - why to reinvent the wheel?

A further key principle is standardization and the use of best practices in areas which are not being differentiated by companies. This is where best-in-class ERP systems (e.g. SAP ERP) provide a solid basis, which draws on the experience of thousands of companies worldwide and thus contribute to defining standards and developing best-in-class software.

 

Reduction of IT costs and liberation of capacities to focus on essential tasks

By using best practices and thus saving costs in non-differentiated areas it is possible to decrease the complexity of the used systems and to reduce the costs significantly. Thus, more time and financial means will be saved which otherwise can be used to equip the company's most relevant areas with sufficient IT. For those areas which distinguish your company and make it competitive no standardized system of a reasonable price will provide the functionality necessary to a versatile medium-sized enterprise. Here creative and versatile solutions are required to provide your company the best possible support.
