Design and Implementation of an Enterprise Resource Planning System With Virtual Desktop Infrastructure for Alsaid Mills – Sudan

Alsaid Mills is a new business in the new market of packaged bakeries, they deliver quality croissant and cake that stays fresh for a week, which has gained them a greater advantage in the market, the company is continually broadening their scope of operation and with time the day to day operations are becoming time consuming without the existence of an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system.The proposed ERP system is constructed on four (4) basic modules: the Finance, Inventory and Sales, Manufacturing and Procurement; as these departments represent the main functional point for Alsaid Mills.In addition, the document explains the structure of the proposed Virtual Desktop Infrastructure that is considered an additional feature that could construct a solid foundation for the Information Technology (IT) Department at Alsaid Mills to provide their users with innovative solutions to work from any computer device without the need for high performance computers.It is proposed that the company should adopt an ERP coupled with a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) that would ease the administration of the ICT Infrastructure and allows for an innovative platform for the staff at Alsaid Mills.The adopted methodology is the water fall model which is a sequential (non-iterative) design process, used in software development processes, in which progress is seen as flowing steadily downwards (like a waterfall) through the phases of conception, initiation, analysis, design, construction, testing, production/implementation and maintenance
