Why ERP?
Companies go in for ERP either to solve their existing problems or to explore new opportunities. Many organisations face the problem of islands of heterogeneous and incompatible information systems that were developed over the past several years running on diverse hardware and software platforms leading to nearly insurmountable problems of reconciling data locked up among these diverse systems. ERP provides instant access to all the transactional information across the corporation. Such an information rich scenario permits organisation to reduce inventory across multiple units/ departments/ plants; reduce cycle times from weeks to hours; and improve customer satisfaction by orders of magnitude. Reduces costs, reduced cycle time, increased inventory turns are just some of the benefits which an ERP solution offers to an organisation.
