Strategic ERP [Enterprise Resource Planning] System Planning in Alignment with Business Planning for its Improvements

Enterprise resource planning (ERP) system has been one of the greatest widespread business management systems, provided that benefits of real-time abilities and whole communication for business in large organizations. However, not all ERP systems implementations have been successful. Since ERP implementation touches entire organizations such as process, people, and culture, so on. There are a number of experiments that companies may come across in implementing ERP system. Business approach is significant to all organizations . Nearly more than 500 companies are implementing Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems to improve the execution of their business strategy and to improve combination with its information technology (IT) strategy. This research observes business and IT planned alignment and pursues to determine whether an ERP implementation can drive business process reengineering and business and IT strategic alignment

Molecular epidemiology of novel swine origin influenza virus (S-OIV) from Gwalior, India, 2009

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The H1N1pandemic virus is a newly emergent human influenza A virus that is closely related to a number of currently circulating pig viruses in the 'classic North American' and 'Eurasian' swine influenza virus lineages and thus referred as S-OIV. Since the first reports of the virus in humans in April 2009, H1N1 virus has spread to 168 countries and overseas territories. India also witnessed severe H1N1 pandemic virus epidemic with considerable morbidity and mortality in different parts starting from May 2009.</p> <p>Findings</p> <p>The suspected swine flu outbreak from Gwalior India during October- December 2009 was confirmed through S-OIV HA gene specific RT-LAMP and real time RT-PCR. Positive samples through CDC real time and Lamp assay were further processed for isolation of the virus. Full HA gene sequencing of the H1N1 isolates of Gwalior, India revealed 99% homology with California and other circulating novel swine flu viruses. Three major changes were observed at nucleotide level, while two major amino acid shifts were observed at the position C9W and I30M corresponding to the ORF with prototype strain. The HA gene sequence phylogeny revealed the circulation of two genetically distinct lineages belonging to <it>Clade VII </it>and <it>Clade I </it>of S-OIV.</p> <p>Conclusions</p> <p>Our findings also supported the earlier report about circulation of mixed genogroups of S-OIV in India. Therefore continuous monitoring of the genetic makeup of this newly emergent virus is essential to understand its evolution within the country.</p
