Despite sitting at the core of most large businesses enterprise resource planning (ERP) software is for those who do not work with it directly an opaque black box – if they have even heard of it at all.
So what exactly is ERP and what can it do for a business?
Speaking in a recent interview with the Sunday Business Post, business solutions practice director, Brendan Geraghty, said it is often mistaken for accounting software but, in fact, ERP is a lot more.
“I'm a reformed accountant. I started doing the books, went into financial services, did a lot of ERP stuff, and eventually went into consulting. In a lot of businesses, it [ERP] ends up being the accountant’s problem,” he said.
In reality, ERP, he said, is an all-encompassing software system that sits at the centre of a business, helping to manage and integrate core business processes, such as accounting, procurement, human resources and inventory management.
“It covers the end-to-end operations. It's not just one thing,” he said.
