E-Business

Customers and suppliers demand access to ERP information including order status, inventory levels, and invoice reconciliation. Furthermore, they want this information in a simplified format that can be accessed via the Web. As a result, these modules provide two channels of access into ERP system information—one channel for customers (B2C) and one for suppliers and partners (B2B).

Difficult to Implement

ERP systems can be extremely complex, expensive, and time consuming to implement.

Business Intelligence

These modules collect information used throughout the organization, organize it, and apply analytical tools to assist managers with decision making.

Supply Chain Management

These modules manage the information fl ows between and among stages in a supply chain to maximize supply chain efficiency and effectiveness. They help organizations plan, schedule, control, and optimize the supply chain from the acquisition of raw materials to the receipt of finished goods by customers.

Operations Management

These modules manage the various aspects of production planning and execution such as demand forecasting, procurement, inventory management, materials purchasing, shipping, production planning, production scheduling, materials requirements planning, quality control, distribution, transportation, and plant and equipment maintenance.

Financial Management

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Systems

systems designed to correct a lack of communication among the functional area IS and they adopt a business process view of the overall organization to integrate the planning, management, and use of all of an organization's resources, employing a common software platform and database.

Batch Processing
