ERP, 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 Visibility

There is complete visibility into all the important processes across various departments of an organization (especially for senior management personnel).

Automatic and Coherent

The ERP business software provides automatic and coherent work-flow from one department / function to another to ensure smooth transition/ completion of processes.

Unified reporting system

It provides unified and single reporting system to analyze the statistics/ numbers/ status etc in real-time, across all the functions / departments.

Cost Efficient

Since same software is used across all departments – this can avoid individual departments having to buy and maintain their own software systems.

Business intelligence functionalities

Certain ERP vendors can extend their ERP systems to provide Business Intelligence functionalities as well.

E-commerce integration

Advanced e-commerce integration is possible with ERP systems that can handle web-based order tracking/ processing.

Various Modules

There 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 Customizable

Since 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 Data

Single 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 security

ERP 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.
