What is an ERP system?
Everything you need to know about Enterprise Resource Planning
ERP stands for Enterprise Resource Planning
An ERP system is a software suite that connects departments and operational processes throughout a business. It optimises, streamlines and enhances business operations through automated processes.
Enterprise Resource Planning encompasses every department, from human resources and customer relationship management to sales order processing and manufacturing.
Integrating your systems throughout the business provides a holistic view of all your operations. Better visibility allows you to make intelligent, data-driven decisions to improve your business processes.

What is Cloud-Based ERP?
Access ERP systems over the internet
Cloud ERP systems are one of the most common types of implementation. It’s a software as a service solution that is accessible using a web browser - all you need is a desktop with an internet connection.
With cloud-based systems, your vendor is responsible for managing the software, so you don’t have to rely on your IT department to manage, update and implement the systems. This makes cloud-based ERP an ideal solution for smaller businesses.
There are alternative ways of implementing ERP systems into your business: on-premise and hybrid.
On-premise enterprise resource planning
On-premise systems are installed in-house and managed by your business’s IT team. This option is usually selected by large enterprises who have the capacity to constantly update and monitor the system.
Hybrid ERP systems
These are a combination of on-premise and cloud-based ERP systems. Hybrid systems are a result of pre-existing on-premise ERP software that is integrated with newer cloud-based modules.

1. ERP systems amalgamate data from every department for enterprise-wide accessibility. It provides greater visibility and allows businesses to identify areas to improve and make data-driven decisions.
2. ERP software connects each department through a singular interface. This enhances communication and collaboration between different areas of the business. If employees can easily access the data from other departments, there’s no need to waste time on duplicate data-entry or chasing up the information they need.
3. Cloud-based systems give businesses the flexibility to access their data from any location - all you need is an internet connection.
4. Enterprise resource planning reduces costs as businesses can spend less time administrative processes, and automation can minimise manual operations.
5. Automated processes can also improve employee productivity and efficiency because they have more time to concentrate on other aspects of their job role.
6. Automation improves customer service because operational processes are more streamlined and there are fewer errors.
7. It’s modular and scalable so it can evolve alongside your business. You can add new modules that integrate with your current and future systems. As well as remove modules that are no longer required.
