Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is a business management system designed to give organizations a holistic view of their operations. It enables companies to integrate information about every aspect of their operations, from product planning and manufacturing, through to marketing and sales, customer service and human resources. By linking together these processes in an integrated IT system, ERP helps organizations plan and manage their day-to-day activities more efficiently and with greater control. Its purpose is to drive efficiency and profitability, while at the same time supporting the delivery of superior products and services.
