In the current economic context, an International Group or a multi-country Company, has to optimize the monitoring of its activities, through the integration of data coming from local subsidiaries, based in foreign countries.
This monitoring can easily be optimized, if, as an initial assumption, the Group and/or the local subsidiaries are using the same ERP, or at least business solutions built in an homogeneous way.
In fact, by putting this Group monitoring strategy, at the center of a Group ERP harmonization project, the Group Management can choose to implement, within the whole offices, a major ERP solution (such as SAP, Infor, JDE, Oracle, Lawson, IFS…), but having high level (deployment and maintenance) costs, not related to some subsidiaries revenues.
Moreover, in order to be deployed locally, these major ERP solutions imply to gather several local internal resources as local key users, during a timing not compliant with their usual daily tasks.
These major ERP solutions, bringing an extended scope of features, match perfectly with the Head Offices of some large international Groups, including also some of their largest local subsidiaries, due to their ability to match accurately to the Group specific business processes. However, they represent a real difficulty for some “human sized” Head Quarters or local Subsidiaries, which functional needs can be as complex as the large entities ones, but not having time and budget enough to deploy this kind of major ERP solutions.
In these cases, alternative Business Solutions (ERP) can appear (called Tier-2, 2-Tier or Hub & Spoke solutions), having bet on pragmatism as their key factor for international deployments.–
