ENTERPRISE RESOURCE PLANNING SOFTWARE SYSTEMS

Abstract

An enterprise resource planning (ERP) project is a large enterprise program, both from a business and technology point of view. It generates huge changes and often involves calling into question many traditional functions within the company, for which people are seldom well prepared. It often requires the implementation of several new systems and their integration with existing systems and often represents one of the larger IT projects - certainly one of the highly critical ones in most companies, Cooperation between business and IT extends to a global collaboration between many business units and several entities of the IT department. The success of the project will depend on the quality of that collaboration. Before starting such a challenging project, certain conditions must be assured. The company must ensure the maturity in ERP and the technical and management capabilities of the IT department and the ability of both business and IT to work together. Without these prerequisites, companies would not be able to lead and achieve the different phases of an ERP project. This preparation may require some communication and educational campaign, which is critical for success. Once the level of maturity, acceptance and technical capabilities are reached, then the project team must be given the structure and the skills that will allow it to face and overcome the inevitable challenges it will encounter; this effort should integrate business, IT and change-management people. Our project that we are making will reduce all paper work that is done in the industry, through which all stocks can be managed efficiently. Basically this project will bring all processes in a single software through which one could easily see what is going on in the company and how much time it will take to complete each order and can also make changes in it.
