How are ERP & BPR related?
BPR as an acronym stands for Business Process Reengineering. An organisation can go for standalone BPR or they can choose ERP. Since ERP anyway comes bundled with several of the best practices, a well implemented ERP exercise leads to some amount of BPR, though the reengineering effort may not be full-blown. However, reengineering through ERP, generally termed package enabled process reengineering (PEPR) leads to less drastic change in an organisation. Such package enabled reengineering through ERP has been received much better by the end users rather than stand alone BPR in many companies around the world.
