Analysis of Enterprise Systems for AI SECHTECH: A Report

This report analyzes the enterprise systems used by AI SECHTECH, a start-up specializing in AI-driven cybersecurity solutions. The company, which offers its services through a subscription model, primarily utilizes an ERP system, specifically AI ROGUE, to manage its operations. The report explains the rationale behind choosing ERP, highlighting its suitability for a differentiated, niche service, and the benefits like cost optimization, accounting activities, human resource management, financial system integration, data analysis, compliance monitoring, and automated reporting. The report also justifies the decision to not use CRM or SCM systems, citing the high costs and cultural alterations that come with CRM, and the limitations of SCM in the context of AI SECHTECH's intangible silicon product. The analysis underscores the importance of selecting the right ERP software aligned with business needs and the role of the IT department in this process.

Discussion
The concerned organization in this event is the AI SECHTECH that is a start-up firm that
carters its services in the domain of silicon based products. This deploys the implementation of next
generation based technology and software fetching the sole objective of developing a world enveloped
by the artificial intelligence to harness cyber security. The services offered by AI CERBERUS is
based on subscription. Depending on the category of silicon products produced by the organization a
thorough analysis has been performed on the type of accounting software that can be effectively used
for the calculation purpose of the organization. The available software that facilitate the statistical
calculations are ERP, CRM and SCM.
In the concerned case, CRM software would not be beneficial owing to the category of the
products produced by them. The reason for not opting CRM as the calculating software fro the desired
purpose are summarised in the subsequent section:
 The greatest challenge that has been encountered in the way of implementing CRM as
the calculating software for the concerned organization is the cost incurred after the
installation and the maintenance purpose (Valença, Alves and Jansen 2016). The
incurred cost incorporates the following aspects:
1. Cost incurred for the purpose of subscription.
2. Cost after the up gradation to the premium version that eventually facilitates
the marketing or the reporting add-on features and benefits.
3. Cost deployed for the purpose of accomplishing the software and the
hardware requirements.
4. Cost incurred after the rendering of training to the staffs and educating them
about the skills required for the industrial benefits.
 The second challenge encountered is the hindrance imposed by the software in the
way of attainment of the cultural alterations (Kumar, Singh and Shankar 2016). This
can outcome to the culmination in the relationship with the clients that in turn will
eventually facilitate the revenue loss of the organization.
 The next identified demerit of the software is the provision of the poor
communication. This software turns out to be a failure in the way of addressing the
integration requirements thereby results in the non-cooperation in the procedure of
the implementation (Valença, Alves and Jansen 2016).
 The other salient potential drawback of the software is the lack of leadership that is
incompetent to lure the customer focus on the concerned project.

3INFPORMATION AND BUSINESS SYSTEMS
SCM software is characterized by its tangible prospectus that does not fit the business
requirements of the intangible silicon product produced by the organization. The disadvantages are
summarised as:
 The software is designed to address the business requirements by anticipating the
upcoming forecasts in terms of business value. This incorporates the necessity if
extensive and rigorous training to be imparted to the employees and a proper training
is a perquisite (González-Torres et al. 2016). The time deployed for the training
purpose exceeds the time span anticipated by the organization for the accomplishment
of the same.
 There is a well-known fact that is prevailing in the market about the dependency of
the SCM software on the supply chain management. This hinders the procedure of
seamless integration (Kumar et al. 2016). The software is subjected to manipulation
by the employees through manual management of the ordering and the inventory
aspects.
 The software is incompetent in terms of strategic implementation. There is lack of
strategy, cohesion and forward thinking.
 Identification of vulnerabilities in lean supply chains, irrespective of the expensive
aspect associated with the larger inventories.
ERP software turns out to be beneficial owing to the provision of offering differentiated and
niche product. The ERP software implemented for the calculation purpose of the organization is AI
enabled specifically designed to serve the business requirements of the organization ( Sudhaman and
Thangavel 2015). The software coined AI ROGUE is capable of performing the accounting based
activities, management of the human resources, management of the integrated financial system of the
organization, analysis of the data in an intelligent perspective, monitoring of the compliance activities
and automated reporting.
 The outstanding feature of the ERP that makes it suitable for the purpose of
accomplishment of the business requirements of the concerned organization are the
cost optimization property.
 The selection procedure of opting the perfect ERP software that is aligned with the
business requirements needs to be executed by the IT department. There is the
availability of the wide spectrum of the diversified categories of the ERP software,
having contrasting aspects in-built within them (Olson et al. 2018). However, all the
salient add-on features are not pre-requisite for the organization. Hence, the choice
for the selection of the proper ERP software is a prerequisite for the organization.
