ERP and Data processing:
Original and affordable ERP Systems

First there were computer programs. Then came ‘applications’ that were used in isolation. With the popularization of connecting computers together, called networking (take a bow Novel and Windows 3.11), came ‘integrated systems’ which became ‘Management Information Systems’ (MIS).

With most tasks of an Enterprise being done on computers, including the control of Factory environments, supply chain automations, etc came ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning Software).

Yes, most MIS shares properties of ERP and ERP shares properties of MIS and integrated system.

However, ERP systems are required by nature to provide an interface where, if the customer requires, the customer can use an Application Programming Interface to customize the ERP system using the customer’s own IT personnel. An added advantage would be for management to be able to view and understand the business logic of the various modules and make changes if necessary.

We believe the inventory control module of the BES ERP system to be the most versatile in the world which is able to handle very complex or very simple inventory handling requirements.

We believe most ERP systems ‘ignore’ this primary requirement of why an ERP is not an MIS.

Our pseudoCode and biznezBASIC language provides for this requirement and all business logic of the BES ERP SYSTEM is coded using pseudoCode and being ported at present to biznezBASIC. The English like language semantics and the high level (simple) programming structure is easy to understand and the customer is able to understand the business logic, even if it is to port the ERP to a competitor’s product.

Data processing: Everything done on computers is data processing, this is also true for smart phones and anything and everything that is connected to the Internet. The modern designation for a person, who analyses, disseminates and arguments data is a ‘data scientist’. Our founder was quite renowned as a ‘date pattern analyst’ before the modern ‘data scientist’. Before that there were analysts, business analysts, systems analysts and data entry operators and data processing personnel. The IBM model 7090 computer was a dedicated Data Processing System marketed by IBM.

The common task of entering a telephone directory (yellow pages) could be categorized as ‘data science’ where a secretary was assigned the job of entering all (or selected) businesses and phone number or residents of a particular are on to a Lotus-123 (MS-Excel) spreadsheet.
