15 fun commandments about ERP

Fun with ERP #1.

The latest version of the end-to-end modular ERP for packaging and label printers is so good

Imagine if I had one of them installed inside me

I can access the stock levels in my brain, my progress, my cash flow and self-manage aspects of my life

 

Fun with ERP #2.

Speaking of ERPs being installed into a human being

I suspect Lionel Messi already has an ERP

One of the plug-and-pay modules

With regular monthly upgrade cycles

 

Fun with ERP #3.

ERP is that which is written

(Preferably with Big Data)

And is coded today

For a tomorrow which never comes

'Cause tomorrow never comes

 

Fun with ERP #4.

A beautiful ERP is an act of resistance

That's because it has to overcome a lot of resistance

Especially in India

From auditors, accountants, operators

And from the Rs 5-lakh mindset

 

Fun with ERP #5.

ERP is like a Bonsai

Very very beautiful

But very expensive to maintain

Or

Not so pretty as a Bonsai

But hardworking and sturdy like a Bunyan

And survives for hundreds of years

 

Fun with ERP #6.

There's no such thing as a perfect ERP

There's always something missing

The key is to find it

That's the essence of ERP

 

Fun with ERP #7.

In the era of Adam and Eve

If there was ERP

There would have been no story of the serpent

And no story of the Forbidden Apple

Simply because we could have future forecasted things

So

Do ERP companies use ERP?

A river asked me

When the box

In your shopfloor

Asks, what is out of the box?

I asked the rising sun

I asked the moon

What happened to you, good sir?

Why are you not as successful as the sun?

The moon said, "what to do, I use Visual Basic!"

 

Fun with ERP #14.

A good ERP cannot be neutral

If it is so

Then it leads to crimes and scams

That's because corruption is neither Windows nor Unix based

 

Fun with ERP #15.

I was in a temple town the other day

The priest was promising a newly married couple

"A bungalow, a BMW, a vacation to the Bahamas"

After everyone left

I asked the priest

"Guruji, what was all that about?"

The priest replied: Religion

How so, I asked?

Religion is the world's first profitable e-commerce site

Oh, I said

The priest continued: Prayers are the best web to print platform

What about god? I asked?

The priest said, "God is great because he is on auto pilot

Plus heaven is excellent at customisable customer relationship management

 

PostScript - I

A short poem for ERP

A cloud in the sky is a cloud

A cloud for a farmer is next season's crops

A cloud in a poet's imagination is an idea

But

A cloud for an ERP specialist is all the above three

Plus it should have faster throughput, predictive analysis and inventory control

 

PostScript - II

A shorter poem about ERP

As I sit with Yudhishtra, Duryodhana and Ashwathama

On the battlefield of Kurukshetra

I tell them

With a good ERP

Bundled with workflow analytics and dynamic visual factoring

Plus dashboards on your chariots

You could have managed the Mahabharata better
