What is ERP?

This is your resource for finding the right Enterprise Resource Planning Solution for your business.

So What is ERP?

ERP SOFTWARE or "Enterprise Resource Planning" Solutions integrate data and processes of your business into one system. Integration is achieved in most ERP systems via unified databases that store data for various processes found throughout the organization.

Often this question comes down to budget. How much is your company budgeting for a system?

• Less than $20,000 get's you options like Quick Books or Peach Tree for the smallest business.
• $20,000 - $250,000 options like Microsoft Dynamics GP for larger companies.
• $20 million to over $500 million and for the size budget you are looking at Sage MAS 500

The key to ERP is Integration:

The strength and value of an ERP SOFTWARE Solution is derived from Integration. The main goal of ERP SOFTWARE is to integrate data and processes spanning an entire organization and unify that data for it for work flow optemization.

Larger organizations usually create an ERP system and then build upon the system an external interface for other stand alone systems which might be more powerful and perform better in fulfilling an organizations needs. Usually this type of configuration can be time consuming and does require lots of labor hours.

Typically these larger systems require partnering with a Value Added Reseller for the specific product. For quality partner suggestions, check out our RESOURCES Page
