Analysis of Foreign Experience with the Introduction of Automated Management Systems at Industrial Enterprises in the Formation of Business Clusters

Abstract

The author based on information from open sources analyzed the foreign experience in the implementation of automated enterprise management systems in 2012–2019. The article identifies the reasons for the introduction of ERP-systems (Enterprise Resourse Planning) in terms of: updating management automation technologies, unification of reporting and simplification of staff work, improving operational efficiency, solving economic growth problems and ensuring competitiveness, as key of directions in business clusters formations. The analysis presents dynamics of deployment of ERP deployment models and the structure of the reasons of enterprises’ refusal to use cloud software deployment models is presented. The dynamics of development of the domestic market of cloud services is revealed. Trends in the choice of approaches to ERP introduction are studied. The types of consulting services provided in the process of implementation of enterprise management automation projects have been analyzed. The assessment of the state of use of ERP in the engineering industry showed the ambiguity of integrated systems that would satisfy their developers, suppliers and ERP-users, due to trends in the implementation of IT in ERP for small and large enterprises, their purchasing capacity and cost parameters. The structure of the reasons for restraint before the deployment of ERP in the cloud was determined, among which the largest shares were insufficient awareness and risks of data loss. It is proved that although the volume of the market of cloud services for enterprises is growing every year, the main factor for the implementation of ERP is the use of IT, which helps to minimize dissatisfaction with the system. The analysis of the key indicators of ERP-systems introduction over the last decade showed significant overspending of time and money on their implementation. However, there are some advantages after the introduction of ERP-systems, which include: improving business efficiency, improving integration between distributed systems, improving customer service, speeding up reporting and standardization, facilitating the work of employees, standardization of basic business operations, reducing circulating (current) assets, etc.
