What Is ERP?

ERP stands for enterprise resource planning. Enterprise resource planning is an integrated software solution used to manage an organization's resources. ERP systems integrate business management and administrative functions including human resources, accounts payable, purchasing and finance.What is the ERP Project?

The Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Project is one of several strategic initiatives in which leading-edge information technology will be integrated into business practices. The new integrated administrative system will replace outdated core administrative applications including payroll, finance, purchasing, accounts payable and provide, for the first time ever, a human resources system. The ERP system will provide the infrastructure to streamline, improve and update the Enterprise’s business processes, while delivering superior customer service and support to the entire campus community.
