ERP – Enterprise Resource Planning
PLANNING the RESOURCES of an ENTERPRISE
ERP is a way to integrate the data and processes of an organization into one single system with modules that support core business areas such as manufacturing, distribution, financials and human resources.
ERP allows managers from most or all departments to look vertically and horizontally across the organization to see what they must see (information) to be productive in their managerial roles.
ERP captures data from historical activity and current operations . That data can be transformed into information that, along with external information, is useful in planning and controlling operations, and in developing business strategies.
ERP is evolving into a Multi-Module Application Software Package that automates inter-organizational business processes across the supply chain which involve business partners, suppliers, customers, and more.
