Resource Center
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) represents a broad set of activities supported by application software that helps an organization manage the important parts of its business, such as product planning, purchasing and managing inventories, financial data, vendor relations, customer service and sales management.

ERP systems are used to optimize internal business processes. The benefits of consolidating multiple functions within one application include standardization, lower maintenance costs and easier, more-in-depth reporting capabilities.
