• Reduce cost and maximize profits

• Streamline and accelerate processes to improve efficiency and 
productivity 
• Standardize business processes 
• Provide visibility to business processes across functions and 
departments 
• Optimize the use of current capacity 
• Link global operations to improve interoperability and collaboration
• Online Data Flow decreases the process time 
• Fast & Online Confirmation

• No need for folder storage 
• Database Security 
• Less Employee needed 
• Easy Financial Management 
• Better Inventory Management
• ERP delivers a single database that contains all data for the 
software modules across an entire company. People in 
different departments all see the same information and can 
update it. 
• Computer security is included within an ERP system to protect 
against both outsider and insider crime
• ERP systems tie together varied processes using data from 
across the company. For instance, a typical ERP system 
manages functions and activities as different as the bills of 
materials, order entry, purchasing, accounts payable, human 
resources, and inventory control, to name just a few of the 
modules. 
• ERP software combined the data of formerly separate 
applications. This made the worry of keeping information in 
synchronization across multiple systems disappear. It 
standardized and reduced the number of software specialties 
previously required.
• ERP systems allow companies to replace multiple complex 
computer applications with a single integrated system. 
• ERP systems replace two or more independent applications 
and eliminate the need for external interfaces previously 
required between systems and provide additional benefits 
that range from standardization and lower maintenance to 
make reporting capabilities easier.
• There are several disadvantages to enterprise 
resource planning: 
• Cost 
• Implementing ERP is very expensive, price can range from 
$30,000 - $500,000, depending on the size of the company. 
• ERP vendors can charge a license renewal fee annually which can 
also be costly for any business. 
• Consultants may need to be used for installation or to maintain 
the ERP. 
• Employees may need to be trained in ERP so they can fully utilize 
the system. Training times takes away from work time and can 
also cost additional funds.
Disadvantages 
• Expertise 
• Success of ERP depends on the skill level and experience of the 
company’s work force. 
• Enterprises view cutting training funds as a way to cut costs. 
• Smaller companies may even need to under fund training this 
means their ERP system is often operated by personnel with 
inadequate education in ERP and the ERP vendor package being 
used. 
• Proper training of the workforce is dependent to success with 
ERP. 
• New employees must be trained before they can properly start 
working because of the ERP system
• Change 
• Employees may be needed to change the way they work to 
become more efficient. They may feel resistant to change which 
can be a negative. 
• Bugs!
