IPhone ERP

edit

This is a lesson part of the module The Web Economy out of the Open Source ERP/Executive Diploma course conducted by a private university.

Topics

edit
  • IPhone delighted consumers with its highly natural and intuitive style.
  • As a killer application, it can be integrated into an ERP System where our voice through the phone can call up the CRM and ERP information without keypad or text.
  • Many accompanying technologies such as voice synthesis and recognition, VOIP and high storage and data carrier are matured to be integrated to give a seamless experience.
  • The User Experience will be as if s/he is interacting via phone to a real human operator that is highly knowledgable and skilled in handling any operational tasks and transactions. For example:
    • "Please raise me a PO to Mr ABC". Machine will ask "For what Product? Please state the first letter, category or Product Name".
    • "P, Category Car, Proton Perdana". Machine will answer, "Product order for Proton Perdana which is a car is been placed with Mr. ABC. Same payment terms?"
    • "No. I want to pay in 30 days". Machine will answer, "PO issued via email and fax. You shall receive details copy via sms".
    • System then updates the CRM Request module, Inventory module and Commitment Accounting values.
