Technology Growth Means Change in Business Processes By: Drew Broesamle www.TekoaERP.com A current process problem businesses have experienced is working to adapt their strategies towards the current culture of demanding everything right now through the internet. This includes the recent shift toward mobile browsing on phones and tablets. There are a lot of businesses created in an era where everything was brick and mortar. Now they have been forced to shift their process or fail. More and more people don’t want to leave their house to get what they need. They want everything at their fingertips. There has been a dramatic shift to online and mobile shopping. Companies like Blockbuster have had their entire business model made obsolete by Netflix and online streaming of TV shows and movies. This has resulted in Blockbuster announcing the closing of their stores earlier this month. While companies like Amazon have thrived off the shift and exists entirely online. Currently ther

ERP Data Is Growing At Phenomenal Rates - How Do We Use It? By: Aleksandr Solodyankin www.TekoaERP.com Such a question seems impossible to answer, given 2.5 quintillion bytes of data are added daily. But who cares? It’s not like there is a way to standardize that information in a way that’s usable. But wait, there is, such software is available and is beginning to be utilized by companies to better their business. Big data gives rise to potential questions such as: · What is big data? · Why use big data? · Who uses big data? What is Big Data? Short answer: super-specific information about individuals. Big data is exactly the opposite of what the name infers. It is not that the data is itself large, but that data is increasingly more specific. A company is no longer limited to general information such as what sites an individual visits. The data being recorded now includes what pages within the site are visited, for how long, what they look at, what they even thi

How To Improve Manufacturing Efficiencies Using ERP www.TekoaERP.com By: Nathan Hickman As I’m sure most people know there are many companies out there that do not have the most efficient ways of producing a product. This inefficiency is normally transferred to the customer in the way of higher prices of goods.

Here are some tips that managers can use to improve their efficiency. Engage With Production The manager should get out of their office upstairs and actually visit the floor so that they can be involved in the manufacturing process and learn the steps that actually go into producing the product they are in charge of. This step would give managers valuable knowledge that they can use to locate problems and solve the problems. It also helps them in other ways too. It could improve employe

Things Today's Enterprise Should Consider About ERP Cloud Solutions www.TekoaERP.com  By: Nathan Hickman Most of today’s data is being shared through cloud computing, which is basically the most effective way to run ERP software . There are four key pros to using a cloud, but along with those pros are also cons. Pros: 1. All data stored in the cloud can be accessed at any time and from any place (with internet connection) from any authorized computer or smartphone. 2. If you lose your computer or smartphone or it gets destroyed, your data will be safely saved within the cloud and you won’t have any problems accessing from another source. 3. The cloud frees up space on your hard drive because you no longer need to have apps physically installed on your computer. Just have them in your cloud and you can access them that way. 4. Cloud computing is more price effective and much cheaper than other forms of data saving Cons: 1. If you are dealing with highly sens

Make a Better Product Through Better Business Practices www.TekoaERP.com By Anders Nostdahl As a manager in today’s business world, the constant wrestling with business processes is an event that will never end. The best way for a manager to deal with it is by making the opponent in this wrestling match smaller. What I am trying to say is that by making your business processes more efficient and manageable; a manager will be able to deal with unexpected events more easily and swiftly. For those who do not know, a business process is a collection of related tasks that produce a specific service or product for a particular customer or customers. For an accounting class last year, we took a field trip to a company called HOTSTART , which specialize in the development and implementation of engine heating systems. A manager there walked us through their manufacturing center and showed us what problems they faced, and how they became more efficient. Below are three ways a manager

Helpful Hints for Using Business Data at Your Company By: Macie Rockstrom  www.TekoaERP.com With companies and organizations all over the world trying to globalize, information is the key to making their own personal globalization a successful process. As technology progresses, information becomes more dispensable. There are several ways this information can assist a company. Helpful Hint #1: Provides simplicity and manageability. Information about the consumers a business is marketing to is just a couple of clicks away thanks to the Internet. They can better target their products by going to sites such as Pinterest to understand what the consumers are looking for exactly. Previous to big data and this increase in technology, information like this had to be assumed by the company which is a risky route for them to go. Also, this sharing of information makes it easier for a business to have multiple offices. They can share and manage the information of their business a

 Where is ERP Cloud Computing Going? www.TekoaERP.com By Drew Broesamle When I look at cloud computing I see a great technology that still can be improved and has not reached its full potential yet. Cloud computing is the future and in the coming years more and more companies will move in that direction. Currently cloud computing has some limitations and drawbacks but those are still outweighed by the positives. When looking at the current situation the best storage method for this enterprise is cloud computing with the cost savings from the cloud as the selling point. Combined with the price is the seemingly endless storage. By moving storage to the cloud it allows physical space to be put to better use. Also there are many safeguards in the technology to make sure that if anything is lost there is a backup for it. When large companies are looking to make a change to the cloud there is the advantage of extremely quick transfer and deployment with the entire system able to
