Flexible ERP Improving IT Efficiency for Enterprise
Today’s
ERP systems give IT organizations the flexibility to adapt the system
to their requirements. ERP solutions that run on a standards-based
architecture can support multiple databases, operating systems, and
hardware platforms. Such architecture makes it fast, efficient, and cost
effective for IT organizations to deploy the ERP solution within their
existing environments or modify their environments without extensive
changes and customizations, improving IT efficiency. And additionally,
solutions that support standard IT tools for troubleshooting,
optimization, backup, and restoration allow IT administrators to use
their familiar tools to safeguard the system and optimize its operation.
Next generation ERP solutions that employ modern web-based
architectures and web services and support wireless and mobile wireless
devices give organizations the option of further improving efficiency by
extending their internal systems to remote/mobile users, partners, and
suppliers.
And
hence with the help of replacing manual processes and siloed systems
with a single ERP solution that spans multiple functional areas,
locations, countries, or across the extended supply chain, organizations
can achieve the following benefits such as reduce costs by streamlining
routine operations. From an enterprise standpoint, an integrated ERP
solution enables organizations to reduce costs by automating workflows
to streamline tasks and remove information-sharing bottlenecks so
employees can do their jobs in less time. Experts close to the industry
opine that by taking advantage of an ERP’s automated and streamlined
processes, best-in-class organizations achieved above average
year-over-year reduction in operating costs. And accordingly, from an IT
perspective, a flexible, customizable ERP solution reduces the total
cost of ownership by allowing companies to make changes without the need
to modify the system. A true next generation ERP architecture makes it
easy to swap out databases, hardware, or operating systems without the
need to revamp the ERP. Moreover, with a single integrated system, IT
eliminates the need to manage multiple vendors or resellers. This is
what is likely to fuel ERP growth globally as well as in India.
