Enterprise Resource Planning Solutions and Management

Publisher Marketing: Enterprise resource planning (ERP) refers to large commercial software packages that promise a seamless integration of information flow through an organization by combining various sources of information into a single software application and database. Traditionally, separate units were created within an organization to carry out various tasks, and these funtional areas would create their own information systems thereby giving rise to systems that were not integrated. ERP strives to provide a solution to these problems. This volume examines the issues that need to be further studied and better understood to ensure successful implementation and deployment of ERP systems.
