Quick answers to common questions about ERP systems and digital transformation.
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is a type of software that organizations use to manage day-to-day business activities such as accounting, procurement, project management, risk management and compliance, and supply chain operations. A complete ERP suite also includes enterprise performance management, software that helps plan, budget, predict, and report on an organization’s financial results. It's important because it integrates all facets of an operation, providing a single source of truth and enabling data-driven decisions.
The timeline for an ERP implementation can vary significantly based on the complexity of the business, the number of users, the level of customization, and the modules being implemented. For a small to medium-sized business, a phased implementation can take anywhere from 3 to 9 months. Our QuickStart packages are designed for faster deployment, while complex, multi-company projects may take longer.
