Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems are designed to provide companies with a single source that offers support for all core business functions. While the major providers each claim that their products and solutions offer the most value and the widest range of features, the biggest systems are often very complex and may not always be tailored to the specific needs of smaller organizations and midsize businesses. Less sophisticated systems and more cost-effective options can be a more attractive solution for midsize businesses that are seeking to update operational workflow and managerial process.

The keyword in Enterprise Resource Planning is Enterprise. This is the ambitious goal of an ERP, to integrate an organization into one information system.
That is a tall order, building a single software program that serves the needs
of people in finance as well as it does the people in human resources and in
the warehouse. Each of those departments typically has its own computer
system, each optimized for the particular ways that the department does its
work. But ERP combines them all together into a single, integrated software
program that runs off a single database so that the various departments can
more easily share information and communicate with each other.
Here you can see a general evolution of ERP systems. They started as customized and proprietary Inventory control systems in the 1960’s. In the 1970’s the focus shifted to Material Requirement Planning which provided raw materials and component management and procurement. In the 1980’s the model continued to grow by including distribution channel functions.
In the 1990’s This model grew further into the fully defined business suites that we have come to know as Enterprise Resource Planning Systems. The development of these products was perpetuated by the desire to move programs off of customized mainframe programs, the development of new technologies, the decentralization of businesses, and the desire to implement BPR.
CRM, which first gained prominence in the mid-1990s, was the logical progression of ERP, as it was designed to enhance a company's front-desk activities.
Customer interaction entered a new era with the advent of call centers supported by CRM software, which allowed companies to direct marketing activities and build relationships with distinct groups of customers. CRM also promised to improve the profitability and effectiveness of the company by automating many processes, making better use of available staff and reducing overall costs.
CRM offers a utopian answer to many challenges. With an integrated CRM solution, companies can detect changes in customer buying habits, understand their needs faster than the competition and respond to customer demands in double-quick time.
Today, the model grows and ERP companies are trying to fully Internet Enable their products and redesign their products for the new business models. What was once internally focused is now externally focused.
Enterprise Resource Planning systems (ERPs) aim to integrate all data and processes of an organization into a unified system
Typical ERP system will use multiple components of computer software and hardware to achieve the integration
Key ingredient of most ERP systems is the use of a unified database to store data for the various system modules.
In the 1990’s the key was internal integration and ERP implementations in the US were being rapidly completed. This has left the ERP as a standard in many mid-size and large organizations.
Today the focus is on linking your internally focused applications to front-end web systems and B2B exchanges. In the same manner the CRM systems are also being linked accordingly.
The ASP market was hot, but is now cooling considerably. In any case it is a model that will persist and will create the ability to have external companies host your ERP for you. This opens new markets for smaller organizations that do not have the IT staff or the knowledge necessary to manage their own ERP.
Overall, the market has been in a state of decline for approximately two years. There are a number of factors which have caused this decline, but saturation is certainly one main factor.
The latest market segment for ERP’s is the public sector which is now implementing these systems
Finally, overall new implementations will continue to decline due to the fact that the new business models are externally focused. Therefore if you are building a system today you would probably use a best of breed solution to create your information system. However the ERP manufacturers certainly can rebound to address the needs of these users and create more flexible solutions to Internet enable their applications.
What is SAP? Well it is an ERP of course!! In the I.T. world we are in a state of acronym overload and here are two more acronyms for you.
So if SAP is an ERP, what is an ERP?
