What are the steps of setting an ERP?

1. Get quotations from ERP vendors.

Before selecting a vendor we must get to know about the tier, the number of license, budget, specific modules of the vendor. Therefore we ask quotations from vendors before we select a suitable vendor.

2.ERP vendor selection

               After we received quotations we have to select the best vendor. It will be done by the consultants who are hired from the outside of the company. These selection vendors select both ERP service provider and ERP configuration consultant.

Most popular ERP vendors are ORACLE, SAP, Sage, and Dynamics.                

3.ERP configuration

            This process is done by configuration consultants. First, they create "To-be" document based on company "As-is" document. "As-is" document is created by the organization and it includes current business processes in the company. "To-be" document includes changes in business processes and best practices. When the organization agrees with the configuration consultants, they start the configuration process.

Most popular ERP configuration consultants are IBM, John Keels, ATTUNE, etc.

Angular 6 - Data Binding Part 2

 Data Binding - 2 Event Binding Event binding used to build interactive angular applications with the flow of data from component to the element and from element to component .

Eg 1: In this example I used a button to demonstrate the event binding. In here we are binding an onClick() event to the button element. When the user clicks on the button, event binding listens to the button's click event and calls the component's onClick() method in component.ts file. Eg:2  . In here there is  a method named "onUpdateServerName" and add an event with it.

Machine Learning  What is  Machine Learning? "Machine learning is the scientific study of algorithms and statistical models that computer systems use to effectively perform a specific task without using explicit instructions, relying on patterns and inference instead. It is seen as a subset of artificial intelligence." In traditional programming, we feed a set of instructions for a defined set of scenarios to the computer. Then the computer will utilize its computing capabilities to help human process the data efficiently. In machine learning, a large amount of data is input into the computer. Then computer processes all the data and comes up with a trained model(solution). After this model is used to solve the unseen problems of the real world. Applications of  Machine Learning Machine Learning has started growing fast because nowadays we have less expensive computational power and lots of data which we can use the train our models.
