ERP application has to adopt local requirement in order to be ready for being implemented. There is special term Localized ERP. You might have strong relation with consulting firm in the United States who are supporting your accounting system but if this application is not localized in the country where you are opening office then the idea to adopt it overseas with translating several forms to Brazilian Portuguese might not work. Then what we not got to do? Well review the options:1. The scenario where you are sticking to brand name ERP vendors. Lets review three: SAP, Microsoft Dynamics and Oracle. All three are present and you can visit their offices in Sao Paulo. With Oracle we are aware about Business Suite which is the fit for large facility assuming that you are deploying Oracle Financials in the headquarters in the USA or Canada. Microsoft Business Solutions is favoring Dynamics AX formerly known as Axapta as well as Dynamics NAV former name was Navision where localization for NAV has several realizations including the one from ISV partner in Rio de Janeiro. AX is probably better geared toward large company and it is perfect in manufacturing scenarios including process manufacturing. SAP has an offer for midmarket and small companies with integration to NetWeaver in the headquarters. And this offer is SAP Business One2. Local ERP Brands. There is competition between local providers. We would like to take a look at what seems to be one of the leaders. The name is Microsiga. Please be aware about possible issues if you deploy local brand for Brazilian office. These issues might be related to consolidated financial reporting, internal audit and data integration or in other words exporting transactions from something like Microsiga and moving them to Corporate ERP in the Headquarters3. Lets now try to take a look at SAP B1. It could be easily integrated on GL export level or for consolidated P&L and Balance Sheet by transaction export directly from SQL database. Another way is exporting queries and reports into Excel and then building consolidated financial reports in something like Microsoft Management Reporter or FRx. Internal audit is easy as you can switch user workstation from Brazilian Portuguese to American English via hot keys or specify default language for named user. Business One is good strategy if you are planning expansion to other world regions such as East Europe, Russia, Chinese and Spanish speaking Americas just to open the list of countries. We know the example in our consulting practice when midmarket multinational company in Chicago where they had Microsoft Dynamics GP implemented SAP BO for their production facility in Amazonia and used direct export from B1 SQL company database into text file and then Integration Manager was moving GL transactions into GP General Ledger. Later on company decided to replace Dynamics GP in Chicago with SAP B14. Please call us 1-866-304-3265, 1-269-605-4904, [email protected].
