PROGRESS REPORT ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF A COMPREHENSIVE INTEGRATED ENTERPRISE RESOURCE PLANNING (ERP) SYSTEM
prepared by the Secretariat
I. INTRODUCTION
The forty-eighth session of the Assemblies of Member States of WIPO in September 2010, approved the Secretariat’s proposal for the Implementation of a Comprehensive Integrated Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) System (documents WO/PBC/15/17 and A/48/14).
The expected benefits from the implementation of the ERP system are: (i) the modernization of WIPO’s core administrative, management and customer-service functions, (ii) improved productivity, and (iii) capability to provide better information to Member States, stakeholders and management.
iI. OBJECTIVES, Scope AND APPROACH - BACKGRound
3. The first objective of the ERP portfolio is to provide WIPO with a comprehensive set of tools to strengthen Human Resource Management (HRM) and Results-Based Management (RBM). HRM will cover all aspects including position management, benefits and entitlements, payroll, recruitment, staff performance and learning and development. RBM will cover biennial planning (preparation of the program and budget) annual work planning, implementation monitoring and assessment and performance reporting.
The second objective the aims to make information on performance, results, human and financial resources available and easily accessible to Member States, management and staff (Organization-wide Business Intelligence (BI)). To achieve this, WIPO will firstly strengthen the Chart of Accounts (COA), which is the back-bone of the ERP system, to ensure that all dimensions of data needed for reporting are captured in the system. As the HRM and RBM streams progress, more data will become available within WIPO’s ERP system and this will gradually increase the comprehensiveness of the reporting and the BI solution.
