Practical ERP Integration Case Studies

Integrate Your ERP with People, Applications & Devices 


by: Tyler Bonner

Businesses today, in our highly advanced technological environment, rely on multiple software systems to execute daily tasks.  Over time your businesses may find that it becomes more difficult and time consuming to process data between multiple software programs; one software component doesn’t "work well" with another and thus, making the two programs get along is a task in and of itself outside the business. This leads to the problem many companies face today of multi-software system integration.

The Integrated ERP System

Innately, when a business has many programs to go utilize for a simple task, they desire a one-stop place to do it all. Businesses want a software system that will combine all their programs into one place in which they can conduct their business faster and more effectively. The solution to a multi-software system business is, of course, an integrated ERP system that integrates all these programs into one – consolidation. Technology advancements have made this possible for many businesses.
