PROJECT SCOPE
The project includes the development and installation of an Enterprise Resource Planning
system that integrates modules that are comprehensively devised to digitally sequence and
streamline the business functions. ERP also interlinks each department with the other so that
necessary information could be accessed for making the right business decisions and for
efficiently accomplishing all business functions. ERP rules out data misinterpretations and
communication gaps by storing all business data in a common repository and by granting role-
specific access to uniform data for all authorized personnel. Internet-powered remote access to
business empowers business stakeholders to do business in real-time at any time and from
anywhere, even while on the move. These faculties empower business decision-makers and
managers to make data-driven, precise and profitable decisions.
ERP can be implemented on-premise or on-cloud. On-premise ERP solution is installed within
the company premises in the company's hardware and servers and then managed by the
company's IT staff. The entire system is owned by the business and supported by the ERP
vendor. In the on-cloud ERP implementation scenario; all related hardware, software, and data
repository are installed and operated from cloud services. Businesses do not own the system in
this case but use the ERP on a user-based subscription payable to the vendor. An organization
can choose the type of implementation that best fits its interests based on business/industry
type, unique workflow, location of the business and its financial capacity.
By installing a world-class digital system like ERP, businesses can integrate disparate entities,
eliminate wastage and redundant activities, maximize utilization of resources, optimize
productivity, empower business stakeholders to make timely correct decisions, ensure absolute
statutory compliance, always be in real-time touch with the business irrespective of time and
space, and increase user experience as well as customer experience.
