In simple words, ERP software incorporates and integrates information and data analytics across the multiple organizational processes in the enterprise. The strategic intent is to create a unified pool of enabling technologies that are aligned towards resource optimization. ERP is a fully automated e-enabled system that governs the flow of standardized and centralized information internally as well as externally with stakeholders.

  3. The myth about ERP implementation in Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) The status of ERP in SMEs is not very appreciable. Small enterprises continuously face a dilemma of whether to invest in ERP or not. Since start-up companies are executed single-handedly based on ad hoc decision making supported by manual spreadsheets; the need for ERP looks so unapparent. However, as business catches the speed and starts hitting the numbers, there is no looking back! At this point of time, when the business is in the transition phase from smaller to medium scale, it gets challenging to scale up their operations and processes in the face of digitization thus ending up with frustration and lost control. On the one hand, the money starts walking out of the door whereas on the other hand significant obstacles are experienced on the growth path. The companies stumble as they find themselves incapable of ascertaining the impact of an ERP system on productivity and try to manage with disparate applications for multiple operations. The myth prevails that they can’t afford an integrated ERP with declining productivity. Further, with the advent of sophisticated ERP solutions from SAP and Oracle, the perception is that ERP is for larger enterprises and not for small and medium-scale ones. Additionally, the discernment is strengthened when ERP is termed as a Big White Elephant project involving complicated transactions and, high cost of implementation, execution, and maintenance. However, the reality should be: Why not to invest in ERP to save costs and improve efficiency? Why not look at the cost affordable options available with other reputed vendors in the industry?
