DISCUSSION QUESTIONS (DQ's).

2. Analyze Enterprise Resource Planning for an organization’s requirements?

Answer:

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is a software solution that integrates a company's

operations and processes. To analyze an organization's ERP requirements, it is essential to
understand its business processes, functional requirements, and integration requirements. This
includes identifying features and functions required by various departments, such as finance,
accounting, procurement, inventory management, manufacturing, sales, CRM, and HR.
Additionally, evaluating the organization's current systems and applications, considering
scalability and growth goals, and determining the level of customization or configuration
required to match the ERP system with the organization's specific processes and workflows is
crucial. The ERP system's versatility allows for customization without jeopardizing future
updates and maintenance.
