INTEGRATING THE ORGANIZATION FROM END TO END - ENTERPRISE RESOURCE PLANNING

Hello.. We meet again. For today's post, I will talk about ERP or so called enterprise resource planning.

ERP serve as the organization's backbone in providing fundamental decision making support. ERP system provide foundation for collaboration between departments, enabling people in different business areas to communicate. It has been widely adopted in large organizations to store critical knowledge used to make the decisions that drive performance.

In most organizations, information has traditionally been isolated within specific departments, whether on an individual database, in a file cabinet, or on an employee's PC. ERP enables employees across the organization to share information across a single, centralized database. 

Here are some few reasons on why ERP have proven to be such a powerful  force : 

1. It is a logical solution to the mess of incompatible applications that had sprung up in most businesses.

2. It adresses  the need for global information sharing and reporting.

3. It is used to avoid pain and expense of fixing legacy systems.

Besides that, to qualify as a true ERP solution , the system not only must integrate various organization processes, but also must be flexible, modular and open, comprehensive and beyond the company. 

  

Thats all from what i have learnt in chapter 12 of MGT300. Thanks you. :)
