ERP: Enterprise Resource Planning
A mid-size business today faces unprecedented challenges. If it is a new economy business, it has to create a totally new IT infrastructure scouring from hundreds of unproven and fragmented offerings and making the whole thing work at Internet speed. On the other hand, if it is a brick and mortar business, it needs to compete with the new economy as well as other old economy businesses with clunky old infrastructure, made of fragmented and incompatible components, preventing them from adopting new Internet-based technologies that promise the ease of access to vital information, where and when needed. And if it’s a business in transition, it has got the worst of both worlds. It has to face the challenge of running business as usual in the old economy while having to implement the business processes for the new economy.
