Enterprise systems, if planned effectively and implemented resourcefully, can improve the efficiency of an enterprise to a great extent. However, implementation of enterprise software in large public sector corporations is fraught with risks and challenges. These challenges include supporting infrastructure, human issues, change management, base- technologies, software integration, etc; the least of which is technology. In fact we aim to highlight non-technical factors in this regard such as management support, user buy-in, change management, fear factor, etc. Our research presents a case study which aims to share the experiences of implementing enterprise systems in a large state-owned gas utility, Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL). SNGPL stretches over 15 regions and serving around 5.2 million consumers in northern Pakistan. This paper presents non-technical challenges faced by SNGPL and the ways SNGPL opted to deal with them. Keywords: Enterprise Resource Planning, ERP Implementation, Information Systems, Public Sector Gas Utility, SNGPL. 1 Introduction In today’s world of global computing, we have seen substantial adoption of Information Systems (IS) by organizations throughout the world [1, 11, 46, 51]. Organizations are implementing enterprise systems, like ERP, to gain competitive advantages. ERP is a multi-module application software that supports a broad set of functions including purchasing, stores, sales, distribution, accounting, billing, and customer service [36]. Successful implementation of enterprise systems enables the organization to gain tangible and intangible benefits in diverse areas [12, 13, 26]. However, not all organizations reap the eventual benefits of implementing enterprise systems they aim for, while investing substantial time and effort [6-8]. Governments allocate significant budgets to build infrastructure in order to support reliable and efficient management information systems. Various organizations allocate huge amounts on IS to provide better products and services to end-users [46]. Nonetheless, the success of implementing these IS requires a change in the associated work practices and a redesign of manual/legacy systems which play a vital role in achieving success. Although the benefits accrued due to enterprise systems are tremendous, not all organizations are willing to adopt them. Some organizations either discontinue ERP implementation or terminate them after adoption [6, 12]. Not all ERP implementations are successful [8]. According to research almost 50% to 75% of the ERP implementations do not

  • A Survey on Online Judge Systems and Their Applications
    1 A Survey on Online Judge Systems and Their Applications SZYMON WASIK∗†, Poznan University of Technology and Polish Academy of Sciences MACIEJ ANTCZAK, Poznan University of Technology JAN BADURA, Poznan University of Technology ARTUR LASKOWSKI, Poznan University of Technology TOMASZ STERNAL, Poznan University of Technology Online judges are systems designed for the reliable evaluation of algorithm source code submitted by users, which is next compiled and tested in a homogeneous environment. Online judges are becoming popular in various applications. Thus, we would like to review the state of the art for these systems. We classify them according to their principal objectives into systems supporting organization of competitive programming contests, enhancing education and recruitment processes, facilitating the solving of data mining challenges, online compilers and development platforms integrated as components of other custom systems. Moreover, we introduce a formal definition of an online judge system and summarize the common evaluation methodology supported by such systems. Finally, we briefly discuss an Optil.io platform as an example of an online judge system, which has been proposed for the solving of complex optimization problems. We also analyze the competition results conducted using this platform. The competition proved that online judge systems, strengthened by crowdsourcing concepts, can be successfully applied to accurately and efficiently solve complex industrial- and science-driven challenges. CCS Concepts: •General and reference ! Evaluation; •Mathematics of computing ! Combinatorics; Discrete optimization; •Theory of computation ! Design and analysis of algorithms; •Networks ! Cloud computing; Additional Key Words and Phrases: online judge, crowdsourcing, evaluation as a service, challenge, contest ACM Reference format: Szymon Wasik, Maciej Antczak, Jan Badura, Artur Laskowski, and Tomasz Sternal.

    Published by : International Journal of Engineering Research & Technology (IJERT) http://www.ijert.org ISSN: 2278-0181 Vol. 10 Issue 04, April-2021 Competitive Coding Website Parth Dave, Rushikesh Deshmukh, Dipak Kumar Gautam UG Student, Dept. of Information Technology Vidyavardhini’s College of Engineering and Technology, Vasai, India Abstract— Owing to the quick development of the cutting edge data society, it is important to instruct youngsters who are liable for the fate of the Information Technology (IT). Problem solving is a serious discovering that is implemented to improve abilities and upgrade information on the IT. To improve serious programming understanding among students, we have implemented a competitive coding website. Most of the students lack the skills even to analyze a short piece of code. We have also developed a Competitive coding website, the contest management Web server. The server evaluates the submitted software using input and output data in an execution test. We deliver several planning tests for step-by-step sub-goals as partial requirements to adapt a contest for beginners. Which also provides the solution at the end. It also manages the progress of the student and his performance. We're building a Fig 1.Problem Tree teacher support system that includes features including tracking and tutoring. Many competitive coding platforms exist, including CodeChef [2], Spoj [3], CodeForces [4], and HackerEarth [5], which support over 50 programming languages and have a wide I. INTRODUCTION community of programmers who help students and Competitive programming is an analytical sport in which professionals test and develop their coding skills. Its goal is to programmers compete to solve the most algorithmic problems provide a learning, competition, and improvement in the shortest time possible.
