Business Need

Many organizations have moved from stand‐alone business information systems applications to integrated enterprise‐wide systems, enterprise resource planning (ERP). The implementation of ERP packages has created an opportunity to re‐engineer business processes within and beyond the organizational scope.

Too many different systems were used to manage the various processes, and these systems were not integrated with each other. This led to contradicting data sets, and inaccuracies in inventory, financial statements, as well as controlling and profitability analysis.
