An enterprise consists of people working towards common goals using available resources. It acts as a single entity, facilitating and integrating roles. Organizations traditionally divided into departments like manufacturing and sales that functioned in isolation with separate data collection and conflicting objectives. An information system is an open system that produces information from input, processes, and output involving people, procedures, and data. ERP systems mirror business processes and the interconnections between sub-systems based on a business model to provide integrated information for effective decision making across departments.
