Social equity is a key issue of public administration and forms the basic theme of the 2013 "Social Equity Leadership Conference," in June. This white paper discusses the key goals of the conference based on the conference issue for social equity as global engagement and local responsibility. These are the issue facing social equity among domestic and global public leaders in public and private agencies in the education, immigration, transportation, environmental, policing and corrections sectors. A review of theories on public administration identifies that public leadership networking, collaboration, and cooperation with leaders and agencies is necessary. This is associated with public leadership practices like public policy development, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation, social equity, and public advocacy.

The compelling economics of cloud computing are leading enterprises to question their long-held assumptions that the annual maintenance fees they are paying for on-premise editions of their ERP are justified. In addition, these same economics of cloud computing are making it possible for entire divisions of an enterprise to be up and running within weeks instead of months or years, on cloud-based ERP platforms (Banerjea, 2011). The economics of cloud computing are also re-ordering the financial landscape of enterprise software, putting line-of-business leaders in a more direct and influential role relative to the purchase of enterprise software (Gill, 2011). All of these factors taken together form the catalyst of how migrating to standardized ERP systems delivered via cloud computing are changing how enterprises evaluate, implement and value software. Migrating Standardized ERP Systems To A Cloud Computing Environment At the most fundamental architectural level of migrating standardized ERP systems to a cloud computing environment are the evaluation, planning and implementation of process and system integration throughout a company. For a standardized ERP system to be effective in a cloud computing environment, there must be integration in place to legacy databases, potentially secondary ERP systems already implemented and in use, in addition to pricing, Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and Supply Chain Management (SCM) systems as well (Yoo, 2011). All of these systems need to be orchestrated with the cloud-based ERP system to ensure this new system can immediately deliver valuable information, insightful analysis and useful data based on the company's activities(Armbrust, Fox, Griffith, Joseph, et.al., 2010). Once this foundation ahs been created that provides for the cloud-based ERP system to be effectively used across the enterprise due to its integration, the most critical manufacturing, supply chain, and customer management processes need to be defined and then integrated to the new system. The most common areas where a standardized ERP system will typically be used is in streamlining the supply chain management, pricing and distributed order management functions of a business (Symonds, 2012). These three functions are essential for the successful operation of a manufacturing-centric business, which is where the majority of cloud-based ERP systems are being delivered today (Creeger, 2009). These three core areas of supply chain management, distributed order management and pricing also form the foundation of advanced financial reporting systems, which provide enterprises choosing to deploy these systems with greater visibility into their transaction workflows and their relative efficiency (Gill, 2011).
