Enterprise resource planning (ERP) is an integrated software suite that supports core business functions such as order fulfillment, production planning, and billing. ERP coordinates resources, information, and business processes across an organization. It includes transaction processing modules like sales, distribution, and production planning as well as analytical tools for decision making. Implementing an ERP system is a complex process that involves configuring the software, customizing it to the business, migrating data, and training employees on new processes. Risks of ERP implementation include selecting the wrong system, high costs, disruptions to operations, and change management challenges.
