Origin of "ERP"
In 1990 - Gartner Group - acronym ERP - Extension of material
requirements planning (MRP),
Vendors variously began with accounting, maintenance and human
resources.
By the mid–1990s ERP systems addressed all core functions of
an enterprise.
Beyond corporations, governments and non–profit organizations
also began to employ ERP systems

Modularity
Most systems are modular - common modules, such as finance and
accounting, are adopted by nearly all users; others such as human
resource management are not.
For example, a service company probably has no need for a manufacturing
module.
The greater the number of modules selected, the greater the integration
benefits, but also the greater the costs, risks and changes involved

HEMALATHA
Advantages
 Integrating the myriad processes by which businesses operate saves
time and expense.
 Decisions can be made more quickly and with fewer errors.
 Data becomes visible across the organization.
 Tasks that benefit from this integration include
 Sales forecasting, which allows inventory optimization
 Order tracking, from acceptance through fulfillment
 Revenue tracking, from invoice through cash receipt
 Matching purchase orders (what was ordered), inventory receipts
(what arrived), and costing (what the vendor invoiced)

HEMALATHA
Advantages
 They eliminate the need to synchronize changes between multiple
systems—consolidation of finance, marketing and sales, human resource,
and manufacturing applications
 They enable standard product naming/coding.
 They provide a comprehensive enterprise view. They make real–time
information available to management anywhere, any time to make proper
decisions.
 They protect sensitive data by consolidating multiple security systems
into a single structure.

HEMALATHA
Disadvantages
 Customization is problematic.
 Re–engineering business processes to fit the ERP system may
damage competitiveness and/or divert focus from other critical
activities
 ERP can cost more than less integrated and/or less
comprehensive solutions.
 High switching costs increase vendor negotiating power vis a
vis support, maintenance and upgrade expenses.
 Overcoming resistance to sharing sensitive information between
departments can divert management attention.
 Integration of truly independent businesses can create
unnecessary dependencies.
 Extensive training requirements take resources from daily
operations.
