Selection of SAP / ERP Since 2004, Suning has always been based on "race pace with 100 meters to run a marathon" approach to the expansion of chain system, however, singing along is behind a greater management challenge. Suning chain system with the continuous expansion of business, "large-scale, cross-regional, multi-system, multi-store, multi-species management" business features becoming increasingly apparent, Suning's management had to face a greater challenge: how to effectively balance the rapid expansion of the conflict with the orderly management, cross-development and timely control of the contradictions of scale conflict with the conservation controlled, flexible operation and coordination of operations of contradictions. The end of this series of management problems are put into: how to achieve investment, business, finance, services, personnel in the integrated management, and easy and business process management, will process data, process control and project management combined; how management across the companies, firms of different subjects in a unified management platform; how to achieve regional operations to ensure the chain scale compatible with the external environment, and supports remote operation of the headquarters functions and supporting many of the operational innovations, such as Suning procurement in Beijing, the Shanghai settlement services in Nanjing, the idea of a series of strategic adjustments; and how to work with international standardization of the management integration, in a higher, deeper, more open level to achieve and suppliers, integration of operations between the consumer and so on. All this needs to rely on information systems to solve. Should be said that in recent years, Suning in the information construction can be said to spare no efforts to build commercial information platform formed within the industry have been the first to break through the traditional, inefficient business models, which establish a new chain for the , logistics management structure, speed up the expansion and cross-regional development has laid a solid foundation. However, with the rapid expansion of business scale, the problem is still growing. Ren Jun, vice president of Suning Appliance which frankly admitted: "Now, the integration of our software have some problems, can not meet our future needs, especially in business and financial needs." Example, before using the information system is based Suning business as the core, not in the financial and human resources management as the core, but the current scale enterprise development, procurement and sales process management increasingly need financial and corresponding personnel management. Suning had two sets of financial and business systems, business financial management can not, or done before submitting financial information back to the business sector, which resulted in disconnection, so Suning brought to the operation of certain as financial management is always lagging. Small-scale enterprises, can have passed through the artificial time, but with the increase of Suning information systems, information processing capacity increases and the increasingly high demand for efficiency, this gap will be prone to big problems. According to Ren Jun description: "Now, Suning's Invoicing System, financial systems, enterprise document flow of the OA system, together with human resources systems, and suppliers and our B2B docking system, and B2C systems Although the integration has some, but not integrated fully integrated, this has led to our base of information management between the many problems encountered. In addition, we have the data encoded to a unified, standardized goods such as How bar code management. " This is a piece of article, Information Management Systems throughout the country there is also the problem of fragmentation. According to Chinese law, tax is levied territoriality, so Suning have established throughout the company. The progress of a company must have complete, sale, storage, so that each company has a set of databases. "In information systems, if not meet certain requirements, such as Beijing will form a company in the law, but management is one of our departments. Because as a national chain, we can not in Beijing, Shanghai The very clear demarcation, otherwise it will affect the integration of resources. "Jun Ren said. He said: "In the future, the management of our business not only in the management process, we will form a line style of management. Chain only form of industrialization, pipeline-style management to high-volume copy, production stores. Meanwhile, We need to further consider the standards, licensing, control problem, consider how strategic decisions for the company to provide analytical support ... ... " Therefore, Suning in progress, sales and stock information system structures have to seek a breakthrough. Suning to start thinking about how a dimension for branch chain Suning Appliance, a division of an organization, but how point of view from another dimension, from a financial point of view it is a company dimension. In fact, since 2004, Suning began brewing this change to further integration of resources. July 2005, Suning internal quietly made a significant decision, the overthrow of the existing information systems, in accordance with international standards in one step to create highly integrated and modern information systems. They chose SAP software is developed in Germany, which is the world's largest enterprise management and collaborative business solutions provider of the world's third-largest independent software supplier. SAP / ERP system, its management is highly integrated, tightly controlled process known to the world, the world's top 500 enterprises, 70% adoption of SAP / ERP. However, as the basic management system for demanding enterprise in China to promote more than 10 years, currently the only B & Q retail customers, Kinhom 2, B & Q in the last line when only five stores nationwide, large-scale retail enterprises in China has been the lack of the typical user. Meanwhile, Suning selected IBM as the implementation of information technology consulting firm. It's not just with a software company and the leading IT enterprise development cooperation, it is based on long-term strategic cooperation in the future. Suning this project is SAP in the global retail industry as a typical case, because it not only on the transformation of information technology systems, Suning, better than the original, more importantly, is the use of technology to sort out business processes and recycling, purpose is to develop a sound business foundation for the future. Suning will build the future of this decision-making as a key competitive advantage, it can be said that the unprecedented resources committed. This is reflected in the organization with minor see, in order to meet the management information systems consultant transformation, Suning has set up a dedicated project team with real-time docking, team personnel from the departments of business, technology backbone, in order to ensure that the project is always in highly confidential
