What is ERP

ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) is an approach that most businesses use to enhance their performance and productivity. This systematic approach makes it easier for organizations to plan for and allocate their resources in the most effective way. A typical ERP system model is characterized by databases organized in different software modules i.e. human resources, manufacturing and financial. Other modules include data warehouse, customer service and supply chain management. The modules help to consolidate business-related records. Before implementing an ERP system, it is important to seek for consultation services that include product training to improve on the effectiveness of the implementation process.

Customization services are also necessary to enhance data integrity. A limitation of ERP is that it requires re-engineering of the entire business plan.
