Enterprise Resource Planning

Enterprise Resource Planning allows businesses to manage their daily tasks through a single integrated software system. These tasks can include planning, purchasing, sales, marketing, finances, and human resources, to name a few. Each of these services may have a separate, tailored user interface, but the integration allows data to be easily shared between these different applications. A single, shared source of information reduces redundancy and data drift. ERP systems enable companies to make use of Business Intelligence practices.

A key part of integration is the standardized definition of a number of data structures or schemas for use across the organization. This enables different parts of the application to easily intake and transfer data. Enterprise Resource Planning software often integrates business intelligence-style dashboards for easily visualizing this data. Real-time data streaming makes it easy to understand the state of the company, and make informed business decisions.
