ERP System

ERP, or Enterprise Resource Planning, is a process in which business management is integrated with information technology:

  • Supply Chain Management:  Inventory management, supply management, etc.
  • Sales and Services: Selling of products and services, commissions, incentives, etc.
  • Manufacturing: Resource planning, material planning, bills of material, engineering, etc.
  • Financials: Accounts payable, accounts received, cash management, controlling, etc.
  • Product Development and Projects: Costing, billing, etc.

By integrating business and information technology, ERP can streamline operations to reduce costs, increase revenues, maximize profitability, and improve customer service – all key benefits to gain and sustain competitive advantage.

In choosing the new Enterprise Resource Planning solution, implementation is equally important as finding the right software. Even if the best ERP solution has been selected, it is still possible that the ERP system implementation can fail.

There are several “best practices” for implementing ERP software, but understanding each strategy and choosing the best option is difficult. ERP system implementation is both science and art that consist of planning, implementation and ongoing maintenance.

Most important of all, and the single largest key to success of ERP implementations, is the need for change management, and especially the changes required to corporate culture
