CASE STUDY11-1 ERP at John Hopkins Institute Maryland's largest private employer, John Hopkins Institutions (JHI), has more than 45,000 full-time staff members at John Hopkins Hospital and Health System, John Hopkins University, and several other hospitals and institutions. To improve data quality and reporting, JHI decided to use a centralised ERP System instead of several different business applications that were not fully integrated. Getting an overall view of JHI'S operations and performance was difficult with these different applications. JHI faced technical challenges in adopting an ERP system. To overcome these challenges, it chose BearingPoint's SAP applications with IBM Power 570 servers as the hardware platform. JHI also decided to use server clusters to make the system more fault tolerant and it installed a storage area network (SAN) for high performance. The ERP system now provides a centralised method of gathering information for the entire organisation. 1. What was the main purpose for using an ERP system at JHI? 2. How did the ERP system that JHI adopted help overcome technical challenges? 3. What did the ERP system achieve at JHI? 4. Discuss the role technology plays in ERP system?
