Update issues Redundant/duplicate dataInaccurate and different customer information in different databasesDifferent information formats in the different databasesCan’t access information maintained by another departmentCan’t see a complete view of the entire organization
ERP: Bringing the Organization Together• ERP – integrates all departments and functions throughout
an organization into a single IT system (or integrated set of IT
systems) so that employees can make enterprise wide decisions by viewing enterprise wide information on all business operations (consistent enterprise wide information)
Keyword in ERP is “enterprise”
ERP systems focus on integrating all processes, departments and operations for the entire enterprise

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)
• At the heart of all ERP systems is a database, when a user enters or updates information in one module, it is immediately and automatically updated throughout the entire system
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)
• ERP systems automate business processes
ERP Benefits 1. Having integrated systems helps eliminate the mess of incompatible
applications that many businesses had previously started to use (also didn’t have to fix those old legacy systems)
2. Integrate financial information and customer order information
3. Everyone working with the same information eliminates redundancies, reduces wasted time and removes misinformation
4. Standardize and speed up manufacturing processes, as well as reduce inventory
5. ERP addresses the need for global information sharing and reporting.
6. One of the greatest benefits of an ERP system is helping people understand how the organization is performing from an enterprise perspective. Provides organizations with information that was previously difficult (if not impossible) to obtain, allowing the organization to perform more efficiently and effectively.
ERP Risks (Costs)
• Costly in terms of money, time, amount of training required, and effort to implement.
One vendor risks: too costly to simply switch to another system. Company essentially held hostage.
Employees resist new way of doing things.Difficult to integrate new ERP system with existing systems.
