Answer: The Wingate Electric Company will be helped by the ERP system in ways and areas which they have lacked previously. The ERP system will alter the rugged MIS sytem and improve its capabilities of storing much more accounting and financial datas. It will hwelp the business to reengineer the processes and improve the flow of transaction processes more swiftly like sales order processing, inventory control, accounts payable etc. The ERP system will also help the company by improving the file storage system by creating a database which will sort and contain all the important datas. The MIS system needs to be upgraded in order to avoid file redundancy to help creating the database with proper documentations. The ERP system will also have elements supporting production planning and manufacturing processes like eBusiness, Human Resources, CRM etc. If Wingate Electric Company does not implement the ERP system, then it will not survive for long because of its ragged condition. It will survive for a few months but after that, it will run out all of its resources to continue production and incur great losses which will be impossible to recover. The company will then have to be shut down as there will be no other way.
