What a talented company that can turn SAP system into a chicken rib!

Can put the SAP A company whose system has become a chicken rib , Too talented ！

I know that someone asked : " Does your company feel SAP The system is like a chicken rib ？", The author as a SAP veteran , On this issue, let's talk about the author's views . This article is based on the author's answer in Zhihu .

The author found that , All the world 500 Strong foreign-funded enterprises , Most of them use SAP System , To support all businesses of its headquarters and overseas factories all over the world . These companies will SAP The system is seen as their strategy IT platform , The important and even core assets of the enterprise . They use SAP System , Can better control the business of its overseas factories or subsidiaries . By promoting its global template , So that all overseas factories can follow the unified business process management mode designed by the headquarters , Step by step to achieve its daily operation .SAP System for these multinational enterprises , It really plays the role of a management master behind the enterprise , The management level and work efficiency of the enterprise have been improved , The strategic purpose of reducing the operating costs of enterprises .

Of course, a lot of management is not standardized , China's private enterprises with low management level , Or state-owned enterprises , The implementation of SAP After the system, it is found that the water is not acclimatized , Think SAP The system is not easy to use , Even the SAP The system is implemented as a background database . They think SAP The system was designed and developed by the Germans , Poor localization and personalization , Extremely inconsistent with existing business processes . After a series of development and enhancement without bottom line, discipline and restriction , Add fierce operations such as shell packaging ,SAP The system has finally become a database management system , Has also become a seemingly less important IT System . They are implementing SAP After the system , Work efficiency has not improved significantly , The management level has not been improved , But it has also greatly increased the number of people , It has increased employment opportunities for the country and society . They think SAP The system is a chicken rib , It is far less useful than propaganda , So useful . I cannot but admire them here , Too talented ！

The author thinks , So-called "SAP The system is like a chicken rib ", In fact, it is a false proposition .SAP The system is like a luxury villa , Pursue the quality of life , People with emotional appeal will enjoy it very much , It's very pleasant ; And the people who don't have a sense of life live in , Instead, they will complain that the villa space is too big , Empty , Cleaning is too much trouble , It's better to live in a two bedroom and one living room . When the enterprise finds that it has invested a lot of money to implement SAP After the system , I don't think it works well , not essential , It's really not SAP The problem with the system itself , It is the problem of the enterprise itself . Enterprise managers should really reflect on their management level , At the same time, you should also take time to deeply understand SAP The management thought contained in the system , Really find out SAP The value of best business practices , Combine the business processes of the enterprise to see how to SAP Best business practices depend on , To improve enterprise management .
