ERP Cloud Computing Services : Objectives of Future IT Landscape

The problem descriptions also include the effects of the operation of ERP Cloud Computing Services as well as the probability and extent of damage. We started the discussion from the last article on ERP Cloud Computing Services. A quick recall of the major matters are illustrated here.
The probability is divided into gradations :

1. Low (probability less than 5%)
2. Medium (probability between 5% and 20%)
3. High (probability 20%).

 

The potential damage is scaled into :

1. Low (damage less than 1% of annual sales)
2. Medium (damage between 1% and 3% of annual turnover)
3. High (damage over 3% of annual turnover).

 

The impact of this problem show up in various forms:

• When customers can be provided not tested, binding offer, this results in a negative external effect for the company
• Increased effort for the field staff on the basis of duplicate detection job data and subsequent feedback to the customer
• Increased susceptibility to errors in transferring the detainees customer data into the ERP system by temporal separation of the two processes
• Ad-hoc requests from customers can not be timely processed by field staff, it may be followed by a job loss

The billing of the service is usually per user per month, in addition a one-time fee is required in most cases. About a Service Level Agreement (SLA) can be defined quality characteristics such as availability, resilience and recovery times as well as the location of the data.
