ERP Buisiness Software Development - URJJ TechnoyugERP, or Enterprise Resource Planning is an important enterprise application that integrates all the individual departments/ functions in a single software application. ERP Systems make it easier to track the work-flow across various departments and reduce the operational costs involved in manually tracking, and perhaps duplicating data using individual & disparate systems. In this article, let us have a look at the advantages and dis-advantages of implementing ERP (Enterprise Resource Management) Systems. Advantages of ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) System:Complete VisibilityThere is complete visibility into all the important processes across various departments of an organization (especially for senior management personnel). Automatic and CoherentThe ERP business software provides automatic and coherent work-flow from one department / function to another to ensure smooth transition/ completion of processes. Unified reporting systemIt provides unified and single reporting system to analyze the statistics/ numbers/ status etc in real-time, across all the functions / departments. Cost EfficientSince same software is used across all departments – this can avoid individual departments having to buy and maintain their own software systems. Business intelligence functionalitiesCertain ERP vendors can extend their ERP systems to provide Business Intelligence functionalities as well. E-commerce integrationAdvanced e-commerce integration is possible with ERP systems that can handle web-based order tracking/ processing. Various ModulesThere are various modules in an ERP system like Finance/ Accounts, Human Resource Management, Manufacturing, Marketing / Sales, Supply Chain / Warehouse Management, CRM, Project Management, etc. ERP CustomizableSince ERP is a modular software system, its possible to implement either a few modules (or) many modules based on the requirements of an organization. If more modules implemented, the integration between various departments might be better. Centralized DataSingle Database is implemented on the back-end to store all the information required by the ERP system and that enables centralized storage / back-up of all enterprise data. High securityERP systems are more secure as centralized security policies can be applied to them and all the transactions happening via the ERP systems can be tracked. Combine DepartmentsERP systems provide visibility and hence enable better/ faster collaboration across all the departments. Scope for integrationIt is possible to integrate other systems (like bar-code reader, for example) to the ERP system through an API (Application Programing Interface). Easy trackingERP systems make it easier for order tracking, inventory tracking, revenue tracking, sales forecasting and related activities. |
