Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems integrate internal and
external management information across an entire organization, embracing finance/accounting,
manufacturing, sales and service, customer relationship management, etc. ERP systems
automate this activity with an integrated software application. Their purpose is
to facilitate the flow of information between all business functions inside the
boundaries of the organization and manage the connections to outside stakeholders.
ERP systems can run on a variety of computer hardware and network configurations,
typically employing a database as a repository for information.
