Enterprise Resource Planning is the business process management software which
allows the utilisation of the system of the integrated applications for the management of the
business and the automation by the organisation of several functions of the back office that
are associated with the services, technology and the human resources (López and Ishizaka
2017). The software of ERP commonly integrates the various processes of the organisation
that includes the planning of the product, development, manufacturing, marketing, sales in
the sole database, user interface and the application (Elmonem, Nasr and Geith 2016). The

ERP software has been considered as the kind of the enterprise application, which is the
software designed for the utilisation by the larger organisations and the business that often
requires the dedicated teams for the customisation and the analysis of the data and for
handling the upgrades and the deployment. There are several benefits of the implementation
of the ERP in the organisation. Some of the advantages of the ERP solutions are:
 Focused IT costs: even though the ERP could be considered as the large investment for
the businesses, it could help in the combining of the costs of the IT and hence lead to the
improvement of the efficiency (Peng and Gala 2014). Rather than spending the significant
resources on the several systems, which all requires the dedicated staff, support teams,
licenses and the infrastructure, the company could focus on one software and gain the
benefits.
 Complete visibility: The software provides the selling point for the software. The ERP
permits the complete access to each of the crucial process in the business by the creation
of the data from each of the department readily available for the employees and the
organisation (Mezghani 2014).
Even though the ERP provides several benefits for the organisation, there are several
limitations while utilisation of the ERP software. Some of the limitations of the utilisation of
the ERP software are:
 Customisation degree: The customisation degree of the Enterprise Resource Planning
setup could be considered as extensively restricted, as it consists of the modification of
the entire business processes. The flexibility of the setup could be considered as
extensively dependent on brand of the software that is being utilised (Weng and Hung
2014).
