ERP Selection: SAP Business One, Brazilian subsidiary - multinational corporation
By Arthur Ferretti
As we
see it, based on decade long ERP consulting practice, the decision is not an
easy one. First of all – if you look at the USA ERP market – here Microsoft
Great Plains / Dynamics GP has very strong positions among midsize public
corporations. Plus it has very good opportunities to automate large corporate
businesses. However if you look at Microsoft Business Solutions strategy in
Brazil, especially localization (localized ERP/MRP) – Microsoft doesn't promote
Great Plains
in Brazil, instead it promotes its international favorite: Microsoft Dynamics
NAV, Microsoft Navision. In 2006 Axapta should be also available in Sao Paulo,
Rio de Janeiro and all the Brazilian states (localized version). In this small
article we will discuss the options for Brazilian plant for USA, Australia, New
Zealand and UK corporation, committed to Microsoft Great Plains platform on the
corporate level.
Multilanguage/English/Portuguese in one company. Yes – SAP Business One
localized version allows you to switch languages with the hit of the buttons
Tax Code/Audit. SAP Business One has over 7,000 implementations Worldwide,
including USA and Europe. SAP Business One is very recently designed system
and it is really user friendly. SAP BO is localized for Brazilian market
Transaction Consolidation to Corporate ERP. Well, again this is where tough
decision making is happening. SAP Business One would be very nice solution,
it has transaction integration feature to MySAP or high-end SAP
Multicurrency. This is real concern for Latin American subsidiaries. They
are business entities in their local countries and they have to report their
P&L in their local currencies: Peso, Real, Cordoba, or whatever it is.
Competitors. If you thing globally then your should check on Microsoft
Navision, Axapta and Oracle E-Business Suite/Oracle Financials/Oracle
Applications
Conclusion. SAP Business One should be considered as a good option for
non-SAP business and the transaction integration should be used as the highway
to move transactions from SAP Business One front end to your
US
or Europe based ERP
