Enterprises has been using Tally as an accounting package and MS-Excel for
recording other information. Introduction of GST has triggered the discussion
regarding ERP implementation in its recently concluded Board meeting. The MD
of the firm has heard about ERP but not sure about ERP functionality. She has also
heard that ERP solutions are too expensive but nowadays open source ERP
software are also available, which can be implemented at much lower cost. She has
invited you to explain what ERP is and how it would be useful for her firm. What
advice would you give her? (10 Marks)
2. You are consultant to Jagat Facility Management Services. This firm has over 100
clients and more than 2000 employees. You have implemented the ERP software
for this company. Explain the methodology that you have adopted for this firm.
Also share the lessons learned. (10 Marks)
3. “It is simply ridiculous! The pricing is too much!” This was the reaction, which Ms
Phatima Bidarkar received when she shared her consulting fees. “Why we should
pay so much for consulting services when the ERP software comes for free?” A
question followed the initial reaction.
Ms Phatima Bidarkar started her career as SAP functional consultant with a large
manufacturing enterprise, which had implemented SAP ERP. While working on
fine-tuning the ERP implementation, she also learnt how it is important to do
proper Business Process Reengineering (BPR) to get maximum advantage of ERP
implementation. After working for five years there, she started her consulting
company where she emphasized the need for BPR before and even after ERP
implementation. She got her initial business from the customers and suppliers of
her former employer as her employer served as a great reference for her work.
Since most of these firms were small businesses, she started offering her services
for implementing open source ERP software called ERPNext.NMIMS Global Access

Recently Ms Phatima Bidarkar started to do cold calling for getting new customers.
That is when she started getting resistance for pricing of her consulting services.
Since she used to offer BPR services in addition to ERP functional consulting
services, she couldn’t reduce her prices. But she was equally worried that she may
need to abandon the SME market segment if she sticks to her pricing.
a. Should Ms Phatima Bidarkar reduce her consulting fees? If yes then explain
how and if not then explain why not. (5 Marks)
b. Is BPR needed for SMEs before implementing ERP? If yes then explain why
and if not then explain why not. (5 Marks)
