Is a “single instance” of ERP software better?
Although every business is unique, running only one instance of an ERP application provides several advantages. When running a single instance of ERP software, you save time and have better quality information across the company because you need only input that information once rather then multiple times. Running a single ERP instance also means all your financial data resides in one place which creates a simpler audit trail, eliminates consolidation errors, and saves time and money when closing your books. A single ERP instance also allows you to run comprehensive company-wide reports that allow executives to share resources more easily across the company and see where cross-promotional opportunities may be in order. Single ERP instances are generally less expensive to support, and migration to the newest Compiere ERP software release is quicker and easier, allowing you to take advantage of the latest features we have to offer in a timely manner.
