What you need to know about a new ERP System you wish to implement?
Enterprise resource planning (ERP) software are aimed at managing closely knit business functions within an organizations, such as finance, human resources, sales, customer support, research & development, manufacturing, quality control among others.
​
ERP systems are designed for meeting requirements of large enterprise customers, medium and small size firms, hospitals, educational institutions, utility and services companies, non-profit organizations and many such others . Popular ERP systems are flexible and can accommodate organizations of any size and business functions. For example, small organizations do not necessarily have to select a system designed for SMBs. When implementing a system designed for large enterprises, small organizations can simply pick and choose the modules they implement.
Small organizations also can choose a different solution from the same vendor. Many ERP Vendors offer solutions designed for different size companies. Post implementation ERP software increases organizational efficiency at various measures, automating business processes, improve customer service quality and turn around time, enhance customer satisfaction, and provide instant access to run time, reliable information, in a presentable form
