On Advantage - Web based ERP

Bista Solutions Inc. - Open Source Applications


Earlier many companies used to implement Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) all over their system irrespective of the fact whether the same helps in all the functions or one particular function. This was considered as one of the main disadvantage of ERP system, because company has to purchase all the application even if most of them would not be using the same.
As we all know that Implementation of an ERP system is a very costly affair, here cost include both the risk also because 60% of implementation normally fails. Days are gone when you need to be onto the system to do a particular entry in the ERP system because today movement of people is on a higher. Previously it was only sales person who used to be on field for selling products and services for the company but today if you see other are also travelling and they might not be able to quickly respond to a request. Hence because of this reason Web based ERP help you to login into the system from any part of the world to move the request further.
This question I normally received from my clients in India that “A web based system requires internet connectivity” so to clarify the same it should be noted that a Web based system can be used with the help of Intranet within the organisation. Hence a web based ERP or any application helps especially during emergencies when the details are to be sourced with immediate effect.
