DBM deployment for dealership network

Hello All,
My Distributor has a huge Dealer Network. Some of the Dealers are owned by Dist. itself and some of them are independent entities. Distributor wants same solution should be deployed throughout the network (Single central instance of DBM catering all the dealers controlled by Dist.)
Apart from the Sales & Services part, both - Owned & Independent Dealers have Workshops. Hence I dont think mere a Dealer Portal can suffice the needs of Independent dealers.
Can you please share your views, how to map all these dealers in the system -
a. As different company codes in a single instance
b. As different customers in a single instance
c. Any other viewpoint
What are the pros & cons for each of these apporaches ? How it works as per industry standards ?
Thanks a lot,
Sumit

Hi Sumit,
The scenario is interesting and challenging as well. To map it properly I will prefer single instance else master data would be hell lot of job. Imagine 1 vehicle master and history to be replicated in each instance for dealers. Single instance will surely help in whole project life cycle and production environment as well. However to map as company code or customer one needs to consider Financial impact most importantly. It depends on Client/dealer relationship. Is it like Full Franchise or only on commission basis? Who owns the Inventory? How is the PnL, Balance Sheet will be designed? A lot depends on terms and conditions of engagement. Think of other points if you define as company. At times it can be defined as Plant (No value maintenance, Only Quantity). Mere customer/vendor relationship will give less flexibility.
Thanks.

  • NAC Out-of-Band Deployment for wireless networks

    I am evaluating the NAC appliance for my wired and wireless users. I have read that the only way to deply NAC for wireless is in-band mode but it looks like the following link says that it is possible to deply NAC for wireless networks in-band or out-of-band mode:
    "NAC Appliance can be deployed for WLANs as an in-band deployment for full-time endpoint scanning or out-of-band within a central site for periodic scanning to confirm posture compliance. The NAC Appliance server performs authentication, posture assessment, and remediation. The server securely controls authenticated and unauthenticated user traffic by managing traffic policies based on protocol/port or subnet, providing bandwidth policy management based on shared, or per-user bandwidth, or using time-based sessions and heartbeat controls. (Figure 1)"

    Does anyone know if it is possible to use NAC out-of-band deployment for wireless networks? If you can point me to some documentation it will be appreciated.
    Regards

    Thanks Robert.
    In my case I am planning to deploy a central NAC appliance at the main office to control some branch offices and local wired users at the main office. The NAC appliance will operate in out-of-band mode. But for wireless users at the main office I will need an aditional NAC appliance operating in in-band mode, is this correct?

  • Design and Web Premium creates huge profile for each network user.

    Just wondering how I can get around the Adobe Design and Web Premium creating a huge profile for each network user. When a new user logs in on the network a 6 GB Adobe Design and Web Premium folder is created in their profile. With dozens of students logging into each machine that equals dozens of 6GB folders.
    Windows 7 environment.

    Moved to Creative Suite Enterprise Deployment.

  • My iPhone won't allow me to scan for any network and won't even pick up on any wifi networks near by. How do I fix this?

    My iPhone 4s won't allow me to scan for any networks and won't even pull up wifi networks near by. How do I fix this?

    Settings > General > Network > Reset Network Settings.
    If that does not resolve the issue...
    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Has any of this been tried?

  • Where is the hyphen (-) on the apple TV?  I am trying to set up my network and there is a hyphen in the password for the network

    Where is the hyphen on the apple TV?  I am trying to set up my network and there is a hyphen in the password for the network

    A few options to try:
    They hyphen should be next to the + on the character map.
    If you are still having issues, provided your ATV software is up to date, you can now connect an Apple Wireless Keyboard through bluetooth connections.
    Change your network password so it does not use a hyphen
    Good luck!

  • Report for Material Consumption for WBSE & Network

    Dear Muralee,
    I think I am not able to explain you the thing or you are not getting what I want to say.
    In my first post I have said:
    I am trying MB51, with
    221Q Project to Project GI
    281Q Project to Network GI.
    I am getting material consumption quantities,
    Network/Activities for which consumption is done is also shown.
    But the WBSE for which / from which consumption is done, that column is blank.
    It is showing WBSE for 101 GR for Project
    I want to know for which /from which WBSE material was consumed?
    I have tried to explain problem again.
    Can you please help?

  • I've forgotten my Wi-Fi password for a network set-up years ago and am trying to include a new iMac on the same network. How can I do this?

    I've forgotten my wi-fi password for a home network set-up years ago on a Powerbook. I'm now trying to add a new iMac to the same network so I can have 2 hooked up. How can I retrieve my password for the network I created or can I set-up a new one? I did try the latter, but it didn't seem to work on the new iMac for some reason. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

    HI, Welcome to the Forums...
    The password may be stored in your keychain on the system you set up the original PowerBook.
    Run KeyChain access in the utilities filder and see if you have a Airport base station password entry, from this you can reveal the password.
    Regards,

  • How can I keep lion from generating .DS_Store files on windows network partitions, but not disable it for all network partitions?

    How can I keep lion from generating .DS_Store files on windows network partitions, but not disable it for all network partitions?  I am fimilar with changing the setting for all network partitions(defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores true), but that is undesirable when I connect my laptop to my home network. A preferable solution would be where I could control the writing of these files based on disk format (NTFS vs HFS+).

    Go to MacUpdate or CNET Downloads and search for ds_store. There are numerous utilities for preventing them from being transferred to Windows systems.

  • I'm currently signed onto my home network and want to go on with another computer but don't remember my password for my network.  Does anyone know where to find this?  It's a password that I set myself, not the one that came with my router.

    I'm currently signed onto my home network and want to go on with another computer but don't remember my password for my network.  Does anyone know where to find this?  It's a password that I set myself, not the one that came with my router.

    It's in your Keychain on the computer you usually use to connect to your network - the "kind" will be "AirPort Network Password".
    Your Keychain can be opened by using the Keychain Access program. It is in your Utilities Folder.
    Open Keychain Access, and type airport in the search field. You will see a number of entries. Choose the one with the name of your wireless network, open it, and check the box next to "show password". Before it reveals itself you will be asked for your login password - the one you use to log in to your MacBook.
    The network password will appear in the box.
    Quit Keychain Access.

  • Anyone else had issues with phone network being unavailable on iPhone 4 since updating to iOS 5.0.1? My iPhone 4 is continually searching for a network and does not find my provider. I swapped SIMs with another iPhone 4 on ios 4 to confirm device problem.

    Has anyone else had issues with phone network being unavailable on iPhone 4 since updating to iOS 5.0.1? My iPhone 4 is continually searching for a network and does not find AT&T, my provider. I swapped SIM cards with another iPhone 4 running ios 4 and established this is a device problem, not a SIM card problem.

    Does the device get any signal? 
    Sounds like the device may have had a hardware failure.  If it is out of warranty, the only option is the Out of Warranty replacement.
    AppleCare is only an option if it is still under the original warranty.

  • TS1398 this didn't help me at all. out of the clear clue my iPad can't even scan for wireless networks. even when I type in my home wireless network name. my phone can connect to it but for whatever reason my iPad won't. nothing I've tried works. I'm ****

    believe me I've tried EVERTHING and my iPad still 'can't scan for wireless networks'. it happened all of a sudden and is really really frustrating. I really don't want to have to drive 40 minutes to the nearest 'genius bar'. I'm about ready to break this thing over my knee. I've even tried the frig trick. it worked for about 30 seconds. and then? nothing. any non sarcastic suggestions?

  • I am trying to restrict color printing on my laserjet 4700dn for my network

    Here is my issue.  I am trying to restrict color printing on my Laserjet 4700dn for my network.  I have configured it for "color if Allowed" and all works perfectly.  I was then going to allow certain users to print in color so I started by configuring my username and allow color.  Every time I print it is still in black and white.  I then decided to look at the color usage log and what I found would explain why.  The color usage log only shows the username of one user on my network.  All other jobs just show the date and number of pages.  So my issue is why can my printer not see all the other users and how do I configure it to do so.  Also why would only that one user show in the log.  It also does not show any applications but it does for that one user.  Is there something else that needs to be installed on the computers for it work?
