“Businesses constantly face a moving target. With
globalization, competition from emerging countries, and
technological improvements, organisations need to change.
Traditional communication tools such as the facsimile have long
been replaced by email. The internet has meant that information
needs to be available at all hours of the day, not merely the
working day. A modern business system needs to adapt accordingly.
ERP software helps firms to rise to this challenge.“ERP software is an integrated suite of applications which
commonly cover areas such as distribution, accounting, inventory,
invoicing, shipping, logistics and manufacturing. Such software is
not only beneficial for large multinational organisations, as small
and medium size enterprises can gain significant improvements in
their efficiency by deploying ERP software.“All of the software featured in this article is released under
a freely distributable license. Some of the software applications
have proprietary versions too, which add custom features and
additional functionality.”
