What is Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)?

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is the integration of information across an entire organisation, allowing for businesses to operate with a holistic understanding of the organisation.

ERP allows the functional requirements of companies to be met with one integrated solution using the same user interface across an organisation.

It delivers better compliances to the organisation by providing totally integrated solutions to their problems.  Unlike best of breed products (separate disparate system) which require interfaces to be written to ensure compliance, a good ERP solution provides this as standard functionality.

ERP solutions such as Greentree have as many as 50 different modules but organisations only need to purchase what is required to meet their specific functional requirements.

If many modules are to be considered then organisation should consider a phased approach to implementation to gain small wins rather than the Big Bang approach. This has the benefit of showing organisational board rooms the benefits of each phase without committing all the money up front. A phased approach is more likely to succeed!

Greentree’s entire development methodology is in providing totally seamless business integration. They have a modular design to their software with a wide range of suites that businesses can implement such as Customer Relationship Management (CRM), eBusiness, Financial management, Human Resources & Payroll, Job Costing and Supply Chain Management.

By using Greentree’s ERP solution it means better decision making and smart cost control is possible for any business.
