Answer to Question 1

Companies can gain several advantages by integrating and converting stand-alone systems, so that information stored on separate computing platforms can be consolidated to provide a centralized point of access-which typically comes in the form of enterprise resource planning applications. Although such applications do an excellent job of serving the needs of internal business operations on an organization-wide basis, they are not necessarily designed to completely accommodate the communication of information outside the organization's boundaries.

Systems that facilitate interorganizational communications focus on the upstream and downstream information flows. Since these systems coordinate business activities across organizational boundaries, they are classified as externally focused applications. Customer relationship management applications concentrate on the activities involved in promoting and selling products to the customers as well as providing customer service and nourishing long-term relationships. In contrast, supply chain management applications integrate the value chains of business partners within a supply chain, improving the coordination of suppliers, product or service production, and distribution. Integrated enterprise systems can be extremely valuable for companies operating in global markets. Most large enterprise systems vendors offer a suite of integrated core business applications that combine internally focused and externally focused applications.
