First of all, what is a data island? The business execution of an enterprise is distributed in various departments/types of work, but different departments have their own business systems, such as CRM in sales department, MES in workshop, supply chain management in quality assurance department and OA in personnel administration. Naturally, different business data are stored in different business systems and isolated from each other, that is, the "island" state;
Secondly, the reasons of island formation are analyzed. According to the analysis of Tian Ling BPM and other manufacturers who focus on enterprise informatization construction, this is mainly caused by two factors: first, there is no unified planning for informatization at the company level, and all departments are fragmented, resulting in repeated planning and construction of business systems and scattered overlapping of functional modules; Second, the business systems of different manufacturers are purchased separately from each other in terms of technology, and the technical framework is unreasonable, which can not be carried out efficiently in the subsequent system upgrade and system integration, making the island effect more serious!
Finally, talk about the solution. In fact, there are mature countermeasures in the industry to deal with these problems-building a unified management platform based on BPM rapid development platform! Take the supply chain business of China Construction Fourth Bureau as an example, involving sales department, purchasing department, transportation department and purchasing department. Originally, these departments all used their own business systems, but they brought many problems. For example, in order to calculate the performance, the sales department has to calculate in crm, but the purchasing department also has to calculate the performance again. Both the transportation department and the financial department are facing many data islands. However, with the help of Tian Ling bpm process management methodology and low-code development technology, the supply chain process is unified at the company level, and a brand-new supply chain management system running through all business departments is built technically, which can be said to be an innovative way to practice the thinking of integration of industry and finance and digital transformation!
