The Impact Of Standard Bank On The Development Informatics...

This essay will consider Standard bank as one of the organisations which have been visited during the development informatics programs student field trip in January 2017. The essay is in four parts, which provide the information about organisation’s background, problems that occurred in it, what should be indicated for the future research and how it could be done. 1. Background Standard bank is one of the core banks in South Africa, which was formed in 1862. It operates throughout different countries in the world with more than 45 000 employees working for it. This wide geographical allocation is reflected in its strategy to connect capitals and people of these markets (Standard bank, 2015). Standard Bank has a mission to make a†¦show more content†¦However, despite such a positive intention, there are problems in the process of its implementation as CRM part of the SAP platform has not been implemented so far, thus nowadays Standard bank are not able to achieve stated goals (Ferley, 2017). Therefore the further research is needed to be conducted to identify why it is happening in such a way. 2. Research Problem Statement The research problem could be considered as a gap between the desired SAP platform implementation indicators and the current ones. During the process of SAP implementation Standard Bank was faced with an escalation of the project’s time frame and budget. Initially launched in 2007, the project was restarted in 2010. At the moment of the field trip in January 2017, it has been postponed to the third quarter of 2017, which means the escalation of the overall project’s schedule in 40 percent and budget in 2,25 times (from R 8bn to R 18bn) (Ferley, 2017). However, nowadays we still are not able to predict the real outcome of the project- whether it will be a success or a failure and why. The SAP implementation project team has investigated major problems when they initially have been dealing with a waterfall approach, for example, the out-of-date information about system requirements, wrong resources allocation and isolated business process. Therefore, they shifted to the agile approach, suggesting it will cope with the arisen difficulties more efficiently (Ferley, 2017).Show MoreRelatedI Love Reading Essay69689 Words   |  279 Pagesexperience Gender as a factor in entrepreneurship Sources of start-up phase funding Sources of self ï ¬ nancing Sources of self ï ¬ nancing – Variations according to gender Access to ï ¬ nance from banks at different phases Access to ï ¬ nance from banks – Variations according to family background Access to ï ¬ nance from banks – Variations according to time periods Perceptions on venture capital Investments by sector – Number of deals 5 6 10 11 12 13 13 14 15 17 18 18 23 24 24 25 25 29 30 30 31 32 32 33 41 ivRead MoreChemical Hazards43022 Words   |  173 Pages1.2 1.3 1.3.1 1.3.2 1.3.3 1.4 1.5 1.6 Introduction Sources of Chemical Disasters Causative Factors Leading to Chemical Disasters Initiators of Chemical Accidents Process and Safety System Failures Natural Calamities Terrorist Attacks/Sabotage Impact of Chemical Disasters Major Chemical Accidents in India Aims and Objectives of the Guidelines 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 2 2.1 2.2 2.2.1 2.2.2 2.3 2.3.1 2.3.2 2.3.3 2.4 2.4.1 2.4.2 2.4.3 2.5 2.5.1 Present Status and Context Regulatory FrameworkRead MoreOne Significant Change That Has Occurred in the World Between 1900 and 2005.
