A large company can have an ERP solution that also can represent their corporate structures, possibly subsidiaries by direct connect and requires a variety of complex business functions. In addition, complex, highly integrated system is adaptable to many industries with universal ERP systems and industry-specific ERP systems exists with reduced complexity and functionality.

 

ERP or Enterprise Resource Planning : Basics

 
ERP or Enterprise Resource Planning

ERP or Enterprise Resource Planning systems should largely map all the business processes. A continuous integration and a move away from point solutions lead to a holistic ERP system in which the resources can be managed across the enterprise. ERP systems also improve the flow of communication within the company and to the purposes of e-collaboration in business becomes more efficient.

The typical functional areas of ERP software are :

  1. Materials Management (procurement, storage, disposition )
  2. Production
  3. Financial and accounting
  4. Controlling
  5. Human Resources
  6. Research and development
  7. Sales and marketing
  8. Master data management
  9. Product data management
  10. Document Management

 

The size of the company often determines the requirements for the functional areas listed above as well as the available volume of investment for hardware , licenses and implementation . So-called SMEs require, for example, often no integrated control and accounting modules. Additionally different industries sometimes vary widely differing requirements for an ERP system. Thus, most major vendors offer industry based solutions, whose sub-packages are tailored to the specific industries.

 

ERP or Enterprise Resource Planning : Free Softwares

 

There are also free software for ERP or Enterprise Resource Planning. Free ERP software can be installed and used by companies themselves. However, there are also systems integrators, who specializes in ERP programs and provide free services charged on the basis of this software. The advantages of a free system is the ability to adapt to needs, the program itself is expected to be free from malwares and spywares, on the other hand – the investment can be significantly reduced.

Depending on the license extensions, adaptations and solutions for recurring tasks from the corporate environment can flow back into the system. Free ERP systems are technically quite competitive. By the general availability of the source code of free ERP systems, at least theoretically they offer more security in future.
