ERM (Enterprise Resource Management) and ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) are two very different systems that work together to help companies improve their operations. ERM focuses on the efficient use of internal assets such as tools, materials, personnel, and technology to effectively achieve business goals. On the other hand, ERP is the automated integration of all areas of a business from manufacturing, accounting, sales and marketing into one system. It helps reduce time spent manually entering data and allows for more efficient collaboration and communication across departments. Both systems provide immense value to companies looking to optimize their processes, but they should be used strategically in order to realize the greatest benefit.
