ERP era as we know it is over,` says interBiz solutions` Wong

Unrealised Potential of the Monolithic Systems Forcing Change in Paradigm

"Like the mighty dinosaurs that once roamed and ruled the Earth, the era of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems as it exists today is over!" - that according to Wai Wong, general manager of , a division of , Inc. dedicated to assisting worldwide clients, suppliers, and partners in capitalizing on e-commerce business opportunities.

"Current monolithic ERP systems can only function as transaction and reporting tools," said Wong. "They not only fail to integrate seamlessly with 3rd party and home-grown intra-business applications, but cannot keep pace with the flexibility required to succeed in today`s demanding inter-Business environment. To gain true business supremacy, executives need to embrace a new business paradigm that not only integrates diverse applications, but also diverse businesses."

Wong said that the enabling BizWorks technology bridges the gap between current business applications and the Internet. It delivers secure inter-Business collaboration over the web, intelligently analyses and visualizes the extended enterprise in real time, and uses neural net technology to predict future business events and optimise the entire value chain across multiple businesses.

Until now, CEOs have often been the last to know about time-sensitive business events. For the first time, executives have the ability to make critical business management decisions with a real-time business command and control centre.

"You need a quick and easy way to merge and view the information that is available through the extended enterprise," Wong added. "By leveraging multi-billion dollar technologies from Computer Associates - such as , , 3-D visualization and Neugents neural network pattern recognition - we are changing the landscape of the enterprise marketplace with an entirely new business management paradigm."

As the new foundation for inter-and intra-business communications, the BizWorks framework allows an array of enterprise applications - both from interBiz Solutions` various business applications and from partner, vertical and home-grown systems - to plug in and achieve enhanced value through this new business management infrastructure. The BizWorks framework will be complemented by an integrated service offering to customize the solution to the specific requirements of each client.
