New Horizon: A New, Smarter Approach to ERP

What qualifies as an ERP?

Any system or software that offers visibility & control of operations across the multiple functions within a business, which helps manage resources efficiently (be it people or machines) and boost ROI in the process. Essentially, it is a large database with simplified or automated data collection, organisation, and analysis.

How ERP works for your business?

A good Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system or software is the one that automates your business processes in a way that each function—right from planning to production, and finance to CRM—works in sync with each other.

Having been integrated into all internal-external systems and software, the ERP records incoming data from all departments and offers central, secure access to only authorised users. Not only does it get rid of operational inefficiencies, data duplication, human errors, non-compliance, risks and unexpected downtime, but also helps visualise that data for quicker decisions and just-in-time transactions.

A business powered by one of the best ERPs is able to handle inventory, products, customers, vendors, suppliers, and partners in a manner that it bears the least possible cost of ownership at any given point of time.

Know the types of ERP systems or software

ERPs have a modular design, where each module represents a single department or function, and all modules are interconnected. In the recent years, developers have come up with quite a few types of ERP solutions, which differ in:

  • Scalability
  • Specialisation
  • Range of functions
  • Technique

Every business should map the benefits of these factors in an ERP, as well as pricing, to their individual needs before they pick & purchase one. Only the expert ERP solution providers ensure that the requirement and competence of modules are re-evaluated at regular intervals.

Based on the mechanism of integration, ERP modules can be further classified under 3 categories:

On-premise

The system is implemented entirely onsite and maintained in a physical environment with dedicated hardware and professionals for control, support, and ownership. It is ideal for large conglomerates that prioritise local solutions.

Cloud-based

Forget the expensive hardware and dedicated experts. As a web-based solution, the ERP application is available in the Software-as-a-Service model. Data is made accessible to all through an internet connection (usually through a subscription-based package)

Hybrid

Usually, a local subset of the system operates independently onsite, while selective access within the system is made available via cloud. The ERP solutions provider can design a custom mix based on the needs of business. Users, in this scenario, often enjoy the flexibility to either switch from one delivery model to another.

What are the different types of ERP?

There are two types of ERP solutions. On-Premise ERP: This is the traditional type of system deployment, where the ERP solution is installed on the server of a company. An on-premise software involves a capital expenditure as the company needs to buy licences that give you total control in terms of usage. Total control brings along complete responsibility of securing and maintaining hardware systems. And thus, you might need a large in-house IT team to troubleshoot issues faced by individual users and offer security. Cloud-Based ERP: A cloud-based solution has exploded in popularity lately. Usually Cloud based ERP systems are offered as Software-as-a-Service model. You can pay for usage on a monthly or quarterly basis instead of paying an upfront licence fee. It provides real-time insights, facilitates growth, and is encrypted for security. A cloud-based ERP operates remotely, which means if your employees work from different parts and corners of the country, they can still update data in real-time, provided they have a decent internet connection.
