Short for Enterprise resource planning, a
business management system that integrates all facets of the business,
including planning, manufacturing, sales, and marketing. As the ERP methodology
has become more popular, software applications have emerged to help business
managers implement ERP in business activities such as inventory control, order
tracking, customer service, finance and human resources.
ERP systems typically attempt to cover all basic functions of an organization,
regardless of the organization's business or charter. Business, non-profit
organizations, non governmental organizations, governments, and other large
entities utilize ERP systems.
