Overview:
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems were originally designed to automate and support administrative, financial and inventory processes. These systems have become the de-facto standard to support traditional corporate functions, including purchasing, HR and financial management. According to Gartner, a leading IT Analyst firm, packaged ERP systems such as SAP's offer good architecture, data management and platform choices, however, ERP's integration to other core enterprise applications can be very complex, necessitating the use of enterprise information management (EIM) and master data management (MDM) strategies in order to maximize an ERP implementation.
