Before we proceed.....What is ERP?

ERP:- Enterprise and Resource Planning

Enterprise resource planning (ERP) is business management software, hat a company can use to store and manage data from every stage of business, including:

Product planning, cost and development Manufacturing Marketing and sales Inventory management Shipping and payment

ERP:- Enterprise and Resource Planning

Why ERP???? In today's world, Information drives business. With the advent of technology, we have

enourmous amount of REAL TIME DATA. So think about the potential of using this Real

Time Data, to drive your business??

Advantages of Using ERP

Management can make decisions faster and with fewer errors.

Data becomes visible across the organization, transparency.

Sales forecasting, which allows inventory optimization.

Some more benifits.. ERP can greatly improve quality and efficiency

of the business. ERP supports upper level management,

providing critical decision making information. ERP creates a more agile company that better

adapts to change. ERP provides increased opportunities for

collaboration.

Case Study

To portray, how the adoption of ERP, solidifies and make a company's internal system more robust, we'll take a case study here.

Things to check before implementing ERP

ERP software vendor should be certified. ERP software should meet your need. Should not be too expensive and useless for

you. Should contains all necessary modules you

need. Extensiveness Scalability

Let's take a small example...

I work at Digiteria.net, an online web-solution provider.

We get several orders/client request. Includes SRS, Static Websites Specifications

and Customized and specific requests. Suppose a client 'A' sends a request at my

company's email id, stating his requirement and asks for cost estimation.

We do all the math, cost estimation and approximation, now again we send him the e-mail[as a response].

He asks for some changes. The whole process is again reiterated. Finally the project starts.

Now the headache starts!!

BUT....

Just before the delivery, client sends us one more request, and did not want to apply the earlier changes.

NOW WHAT DO WE DO??? The whole team is doomed!! As the process

have to be started again DEVELOPER? DESIGNER? BACKEND?

FRONTEND?

But if we use ERP ...

ERP software will allow us to track user needs on the go.

ERP systems connect to real–time data and transaction data in a variety of ways.

Bring unique knowledge on process, equipment, and vendor solutions.

Direct integration Custom–integration solutions

For some muggles!! [not to be taken seriously]

For those who aren't familiar what is Drupal? Drupal is an open source CMS. It's distributed under the terms of the GNU

General Public License (or "GPL"), which means anyone is free to download it, modify it and share it with others.

The most extensible and robust CMS available till date.

The Drupal project's principles encourage modularity, standards, collaboration, ease-of-use, and more.

Live Demo I am going to present you the live demo of the

ERP software which is based over Drupal, called the ERPAL.

ADVANTAGES :- For the example and case study we are

taking it is apt for that. Open Source Customizable Extensible
