2. ERP systems replace separate departmental software applications and interfaces with a single integrated system to streamline business processes and data sharing across the enterprise.
3. While ERP systems provide benefits like standardized processes, reduced costs, and improved decision-making, implementing ERP also presents disadvantages such as high costs, needing expert consultants and training employees on new systems.
