    Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems integrate core business functions like manufacturing, supply chain, financials, projects, human resources and customer relationship management. ERP provides a single, integrated solution to replace isolated "islands of information" and improve information flow. Key benefits include reduced costs, increased efficiency and transparency, and flexibility to adapt to changing business needs. However, ERP implementation requires a significant investment of time and money and changes to business processes. Success requires management support, a dedicated team and change management.
