 CRM and ERP

CRM (customer relationship management) and ERP (enterprise resource planning) systems are two industry categories that are thriving in the cloud, with CRM being the more mature of the two. Cloud CRM programs provide small businesses and start-ups with a terrific way to get fully working CRM software without big upfront expenditures and by paying monthly fees. Furthermore, CRM is not a task that needs a certain set of requirements, and it can be readily migrated to the cloud. Cloud CRM software has grown in popularity as a result of this feature, as well as the ability to view your business and customer data from anywhere and on any device. Cloud-based ERP systems are less mature, and they must compete with well-established in-house solutions. Finance and accounting, human resources, manufacturing, supply chain management, project management, and CRM are all integrated into ERP systems. Their purpose is to give a unified perspective and access to all activities required to keep a complicated company running. The move to cloud-based models is more challenging because of the enterprises they target: the long-term cost advantage may not be evident, and the conversion to the cloud may be challenging if firms already have significant ERP installations.

Short note on E-Government Architecture

-
Image
1)  Presentation layer The presentation layer identifies and describes the system users, who require access to government information at different capacities, and the channels through which information can be accessed.  During system development, one is required to explicitly identify the government user, the system is intended to serve, and also the means through which this information is to be accessed so that the system can be tailored to meet these requirements. It manages the user’s interface with the system. If a pro- project is to be successful, different stakeholders need to be identified at the beginning, involved in the initial stages and kept involved throughout development and implementation. 2) E-government layer E-government public services utilize very specialized applications that are only available to certain agencies and not all agencies participating in the consortium. The main goal of the e-government layer is to achieve a government that;  does not as...

What is the difference between persistent and transient objects?

-

Object An object is a real-world entity with certain attributes that makes up the object's structure. Also, an object encapsulates the data code into a single unit which in turn provides data abstraction by hiding the implementation details from the user. Any object has two properties i.e. state & behavior hence, it's similar to the program variable but the object has a complex structure. There are two types of objects: Transient object Persistent object Transient object These objects exist during the execution but destroy once the program terminates.  Transient Objects that have been just instantiated. Transient objects don't have representation and identifier values in the databases. The transient objects will be destroyed by the garbage collector if they don't have any use and reference in the database. In this state, the database has the saved objects Example- An entity from a repository comes under persistent objects Persistent object These objects persist ...

   Functions/Process of Management The management system is a system or process of interrelated and sequential components or function of management. The function of management have been specified and defined variously by different authors. Fayol has specified planning, organizing, commanding, coordinating and controlling as the function of management. Likewise, according to Koontz and O'donnell, planning, organizing, developing, coordinating and staffing as the functions of management. According to Linder Urbick, forecasting, planning, organizing, commanding, coordinating and controlling as the function of management. Luther Gulick has summarized the function of management as POSDCORB where P = Planning, O = Organizing, S = CO = Coordinating, R = Reporting and B = Staffing, D = Directing, Budgeting. In general, the following are the functions of management. 1. Planning Planning is the basic function of management. It is outlining the future course of action and decides in adva...
