A valuable look into the core definition and functions of ERP software and systems. This Resource demonstrates how ERP software enhances the ability of businesses to share information between functions and functional areas. Highly recommended. From the Resource:
Employees working in one functional area need data from employees in other functional areas
- Functional area information systems should be integrated, so shared data are accurate and timely
Managers think in terms of business processes that integrate the functional areas
- Need to share information between functions and functional areas
- ERP software provides this capability by means of a single common database
