An Introduction to ERP - Enterprise Resource Planning
ERP stands for Enterprise Resource Planning. It is a special type of software that provides a comprehensive solution to a company’s commercial activities - manages inventory,handles customer orders,creates purchase orders or production orders and sends invoices.
Software that manages business activities is nothing new.IBM sold a calculating computer back in the 1950’s to replace manual accounting activities.
