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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

The Inspectors held meetings with representatives of major ERP system vendors to ascertain the technical feasibility of a common payroll for the United Nations system.

We concur that the General Assembly should endorse the development of a common payroll system as a first step towards a common Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) for the United Nations system as a whole.

Multilateral institutions and international partners to agree on financing of the Programme Acceleration Funds by or at September 2005 Global Fund Replenishment Conference.

In some cases, the payroll application is part, or a module, of a wider scope system, such as an ERP, which might have been supplied by just one vendor.

Over the past year the three institutions created by the Convention covered new ground in carrying out their mandates. The International Seabed Authority continued to make progress in developing the framework for cooperation in the area of seabed resources.

(3) Water Resources

The actual impact of the introduction of UPL is currently not known, because the new enterprise resource planning system (Atlas), introduced by UNDP in 2004, is not yet in a position to report on the charges.
