Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)

Definition

Integrated software systems that manage core business processes including finance, HR, manufacturing, supply chain, and procurement.

Overview

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems are integrated suites that manage an organization's core business functions. ERPs serve as the system of record for financial data, inventory, purchasing, and often HR. Major ERP vendors include SAP, Oracle, and NetSuite. ERP integration is critical for automation initiatives, as ERPs contain authoritative data for most business processes.

Why It Matters

ERPs are the financial backbone of the enterprise, but they rarely operate in isolation. Disconnected ERPs create reconciliation nightmares, delayed financial closes, and inaccurate reporting that erodes stakeholder confidence and regulatory compliance.
