What is ERP – Enterprise Resource Planning?
Enterprise Resource Planning is an enterprise-wide information system designed to coordinate all the business’ resources, information, and activities such as manufacturing, supply chain management, financials, projects, human resources and customer relationship management. ERP originated as an extension of MRP (material requirement planning) and is now recognized as a business solution covering all basic functions of an enterprise, regardless of the organization's business, size or charter. Non-manufacturing businesses, non-profit organizations and governments now all use ERP systems. For more information, please visit: www.erp.com or contact us at info@erp.com.
