Be careful of lightning! OA two open need to be cautious

A CIO wants to do integration of existing systems, including ERP, PLM, OA and so on. Ask, integrated with OA is not the first choice? Do it yourself, or your service provider to do?
Recently, CIO & IT Managers Elites micro-channel group on the OA system integration and two open issues, launched a selection of topics to discuss.
1, do the integration process, whether OA is the first choice?
A CIO describes his experience: "Our current practice is to use EHR integrated enterprise micro-channel, AD enterprise micro-channel authorization for all mobile end products, AD integrates all PC end product, then approval flow are pushed to OA of our points are. clearly, OA is the only process, leaving marks, with approval, others are third-party systems integration, so SSO between the system has become the first problem to be solved. "
the reason for this is: If your portal OA a lot of things will be docking with OA, OA was heavy. Now many companies seek is portable, it is common practice to approval flow in OA, to leave marks, in charge of compliance.
But some people said: "We do OA portal capabilities are relatively strong, but the process and application integration is still dependent on BPM."
Relatively open process, more prominent OA portal features - a practice not uncommon in the moment.
"More companies are the internal staff of OA as a unified portal entrance Portal, other ERP, CRM, HR and other systems with OA do sign-on integration, OA using AD authentication."

addition, do process integration, a clear operating standards are important factors beyond the technical trade-offs have to pay more. If the company's processes more complex, while the staff has always changing, it is difficult to have a fixed system support.
Because architecture is changing, the process will change, approvers have changed, the role can not be achieved if synchronized, time-consuming but also very difficult to succeed. And users do not want to change thinking either change or chaos, all affect the use of the system and on-line.
Whether to do with the OA system integration needs based on a comprehensive consideration of the size and stage of development in which the company.
The company's process management, technology itself aside, look at the core of the company is currently in phase. For example, a 200-person company, you let him go up a set of self-development OA, which is basically unrealistic, one is no engineer, the second is not necessary. So before discussing such OA system, we must define what the company's current stage. For example, a large enterprise to the OA, he could not buy out ah, first buy out is a technology-driven technology companies claiming to insult, the second is outside of not a perfect fit his requirements.

2, OA need two open depending on what
OA depends on whether the two open management needs and business requirements; and time, ranging from professional advice put forward by the cost CIO, escalation management decisions.
- often with large peak Edmonton IT managers
will need to do the secondary development of OA, most people cautious. Main can be summarized as the following three points:
1 can adjust their business issues and management solutions, do not two open.
2 Not all teams are suitable for two open, to consider two open value. Considering the budget situation as well as the team, it can be two open more good than harm.
3 If the implementation phase, there are many two open, indicating that it may be a problem on the selection, there is no demand on the right.
It was mentioned that a key is: OA Once an on-line, which means the next few years tied to die, and for the initial investment, then set aside, do not change it, we must demand a casual two open, API code and not, themselves want to develop docking does not work, and service providers need coordination.
A CIO shared a personal experience of OA two open success stories.
"We were upgraded when to take the time to OA of two open, mainly because the leaders do not like to do things on a business trip with a computer, mobile office advocate general, processing efficiency is greatly improved because leaders can direct on the phone a batch (including process integration of other systems).
OA is not only integrates the company almost all large systems, SAP, PLM, SCM, HR , APS, in two open Shihai the employee performance management done in OA. In addition, OA is also integrated with e-mail, a particularly important process with integrated messaging platform, and even some unusual workshop information MES also did the OA (production appears abnormal, immediately build a process in OA, must follow the tracking process). "
It was natural that everyone is happy." Leaders reasonably satisfied, because what system do not have registration, open all put OA approval, mail, under the performance all done. "
3, OA two open risk what?
From the project point of view, OA two open two ways: one is the party not open source, it can only do teams look for vendors; one is open code and interfaces, it can be ad hoc team.
risk is mainly focused on: the high cost, the team becomes high professional requirements, knowledge management difficulty increases, it becomes more difficult to maintain.
hoc team in time and labor cost inputs Needless to say, if it is OA looking for traditional service providers, you should be careful to step on the pit, where the game can be said to be skating on thin ice as the CIO tucao following:.
"with traditional OA software vendors, has pulled countless skin.
First, as a party, you are ready to re-full, you can not demand a clear and accurate can do, that cooperation is project-based, once the project needs just once, end of the project, you are changing a word, that you in the end It is to pay it, or beg you to change it to the opposite free.
Second, the two open workload assessment, change a form field, we are engaged in technology, we feel that 30 minutes to finish up, opposite assessment three days. Although you feel unreasonable, but the code is closed, you can not cut plan code tells him, you move three lines of code, you said you have three days to develop. "
Of course not deny that the traditional vendors also have their advantages and application scenarios.
1 traditional OA manufacturers, it is suitable for government, state-owned enterprises, large companies, because in case of sufficient budget, customization, development, services are very good.
2 traditional OA manufacturers, basically did more than 10 years, the function of the software itself has been relatively strong, is the most common needs can be configured to get in on this dimension, not able to get the development, on-line faster.
3 traditional OA manufacturers, the traditional additional information about software compatibility is also good, because after all dry long enough, it may take time to integrate some money, but basically no technical barriers.
4, OA had to pay attention to what the Second open
implementation of OA's not in one step. Risk-based OA two open, it was suggested: "The first step is to configure on-line, all two functions are not allowed to open the second step is a small two open, to get increased profits speak."
But there are IT managers need to face case 2 had to be opened.
"It is not that we are a strong company, the first step do not do two open impractical, if not the first step, then two open, business unit leadership would not allow this on-line system, because he feels does not comply with his requirements, did not reach his goal. "
in this regard everyone gives this a few suggestions:
1 real demands of mining within the enterprise, especially in the OA not blind pursuit of large selection of products, but not on the order of not all businesses can use the function, and use good.
2 grasp budget, the company intends to spend much money on these things, combined with high level of expectations do choose.
3 Select OA when the best combination of internal development language, try not to cross-language, otherwise it is a Kaner.
Some Internet IT leaders think we should analyze the problem based on the actual situation:
　　. "If they own team development capabilities, domestic demand is not very urgent, can be considered" BPM + self-development "or" open source OA + two open "if the team does not develop ability, but also must be fast on the line, you can visit the market under a commercial product, but on after-sales service, technical support, API open capability, these things must say clearly, docking problem might otherwise encounter back more. "
These are just part of the discussion, please add more group discussion. CIO & IT Managers elite exchange group plus group method 2: No. Public CIO evolution in reply to [the community].
