Datatel is an Enterprise Resource Planning software (ERP) that integrates departments and functions across an organization into one computer system. Prior to ERP organizations utilized different software solutions that did not easily communicate with each other. This created data redundancy and in some cases innacurate record keeping. ERP runs off a single database, enabling various departments to share information, communicate with each other, and develop reliable reports. ERP systems comprise function-specific modules designed to interact with the other modules, eg Student Records, Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, Purchasing, etc. See the WHCCD systems diagram to learn more about the WHCCD ERP system and the modules associated with it.
