ERP Inter-enterprises for the Operational Dimension of the Urbanized Bid Process Information System

Bid process translates the techno-economic expertise, which partners build in a cooperative way. It is a key business process which evaluates the results of different trade tasks: hence, it influences the company's survival and strategic orientations. Therefore, the Information System that supports this process must be characterized by integrity, flexibility and interoperability. Nevertheless, the urbanization approach, on which we rely to implement this system, has to deal with “three fit” problems. To overcome these problems, we suggest addressing these exigencies following an operational dimension which remains responsive to other dimensions: the organizational and decision-making ones. However, the cooperative dimension covers the remaining dimensions. In fact, it ensures the consistency and the interaction between the different dimensions. We are not only interested in identifying the tools and applications needed to achieve a bid process, but we aim, also, at solving problems related to interactions intra, or even inter-applicative. Our major concern is to realize an ERP (Enterprise Resources Planning) that targets a bid process operational dimension while promoting a cooperative construction of the offer's techno-economic proposal.
