i. Enterprise resource planning ( 500,000)

UNICEF has been successful in the implementation of its Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems.

Preparation for war absorbs inordinate resources and impedes the development of social institutions.

This phase could be a reality in the medium term (4 7 years) Phase 3 Common ERP for the United Nations system.

Authorizes extrabudgetary expenditures of 8.9 million to implement the Enterprise Resource Planning (Atlas) project

UNICEF is ready to take this role for the SAP stream of ERPs. This is based on the proven track record of UNICEF in ERP, IT systems and IT services implementations.

Many of the projects to introduce MIS have been based on the introduction of ERP systems, thus the introduction of a common payroll system should be carefully planned in the wider context of an ERP.

Thematic initiatives would make it possible to attract additional resources from international financial institutions and donor countries.

On the one hand, the multilateral financial institutions appeared to have sufficient resources for non concessional flows.

(h) Allocation of substantial resources by subregional, regional and international financial institutions to the implementation of the Decade

Until recently, Enterprise resource planning (ERP) and Human resource management systems (HRMS) software did not support matrix reporting.

Vast resources should to be invested in programmes to upgrade productive capacities, modernize institutions and develop infrastructures.

Efforts had been duplicated and resources wasted due to the lack of coordination mechanisms among national institutions and donor agencies.

The resources (US 50 75 million) of the facility could be raised from bilateral donors on a voluntary basis multilateral financing institutions could also contribute to its resources.

Recognizing the potential of Atlas to improve financial management, delegations expressed concern that implementation was long, incurring large financial and human resource costs.

Next generation systems might represent an opportunity for a single system wide information system, i.e., a single ERP.

The Atlas system permits real time financial monitoring and has allowed the consolidation and closure of old projects and the preparation of shadow budgets.

In some of the initiatives such as ERPs, the cost of software is typically a rather small portion of overall cost of implementation.

The centrepiece of this strategy will be, as it has been in the prior two biennia, an enterprise resource planning system based on PeopleSoft, known as Atlas.

As mentioned in paragraph 39, UNICEF has pioneered the development of ERP systems since the implementation of one set of integrated corporate system PROMS for field offices and SAP for headquarters locations.

Any future common system ought to take into account the experiences of the various models and the needs of all organizations affected especially in potentially integrating the data back into their ERPs.

Resources

The major ERP vendors in the marketplace are Oracle, PeopleSoft and SAP, and all of them are present within the United Nations family.

The country's limited resources were needed to support the newly established democratic political institutions stipulated by the new Comorian Constitution.

Complementing the institutions and processes is the issue of resource mobilization and development assistance management including utilization, especially of ODA.

This would be sufficient cause for concern were it not that these institutions and activities absorb financial and human resources that could be put to better use in another way.

Greater choice and use of safe and reliable water supplies and clean and private sanitation facilities (in households, communities and schools).
