<div>Hello. I am a budding CTO/CIO preparing an IT plan for a new chemical company. I've come up though the ranks from systems admin to software engineer. <br/> <br/>What we're doing is building production facilities (brand, spanking new...) and I am designgin the infrastructure that will connect everyone and everything. Ground breaking is later this year and I am going full tilt on the plan now. <br/> <br/>I'm thinking about ERP systems that could integrate and connect the entire company. I've had experience with SAP and it is horrendously complex and very expensive and if not implemented right, you are screwed. PeopleSoft is good for HR but what about manufacturing, matrerial management, production planning etc? I've heard Baan is good for manufacturing but weak in the financials. <br/> <br/>The goal is to have a system where we can monitor the manufacturing process (real time of course) but capture production data (to a SAN) and subsequently feed it to our data warehouse. <br/> <br/>Finally, any resources to which you could point me on accomplishing this would be most welcome! Thanks in advance and have a great evening! <br/> <br/>gp</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://cto.tribe.net">CTO's</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Although this group has a small membership as of the time of this writing, I'm hoping that it will grow in time and become a valuable resource. I look forward to lively discussion, intelligent debate, and hopefully sage advice. <br/> <br/>Shannon</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://cto.tribe.net">CTO's</a> - 3 replies </div>
