2ENTERPRISE RESOURCE PLANNING SYSTEMS
Introduction
It is often assumed that an organization has been facing a lot of trouble with the
management of information in the organization. With the advancement in the technology, the
organizations realise that there is a requirement of handling the implications that the
organization has been facing in the recent times, and one of the primary ways by which these
can be done is formulated with the help of the adoption of the new technologies. Various
technological advancements have been found not just to be providing benefits to the
organization, but also solving various problems regarding the business process (Surendro
2016). One of the major problems found in the organizations in the latest times have been the
issues that the organizations have been facing in handling the business information. The
issues can be eliminated with ERP or Enterprise Resource Planning systems software that has
the ability to feasibly handle the business information systems and allows the organization to
automate their back-office functions and manage the business as a whole related to the
technology as well as the operations of the human resources department. Therefore,
organizations have been found to be using the ERP systems as a solution to the acquired
problems (Erazo, Arboleda and Pino 2017). At the same time, the organizations are often
found to be having an idea about the employment plan of the ERP systems that it is a one-
time activity, and this is presumably thought of as a misconception. The following report
would thus clarify how the reimbursements of the ERP system is not acquired proximately
after the enactment and how the benefits can occur over time and what is required to handle
the benefits provided the various stages in the organization. This report would thus enable the
understanding over the various ERP system journey and the ERP maturity.

Example of a case study in context
In this context, about describing the journey of the employment of ERP systems
within an organization, it is required that the organization in which the employment
procedure is occurring, understands the need of business requirements as well (Hustad,
Haddara and Kalvenes 2016). It is understandable that business organizations require the
employment plan at such a great level that they could solve all the possible business problems
that they have within the business systems. The organizations should understand all the
business requirements that an organization needs to implement within the business system.
The effective employment of the business system requires a thought of the business
requirements behind the entire plan. It also needs to consider what the business engagement
requires and how will it be influential given the requirements of the stakeholders. In this
particular phase, it is required that an example is presented on the basis of the discussion of
the ERP solution employment in the organization of LG clarifying the HRMS ERP system
employment.
LG is required as a global giant in the world. It has more than 114 subsidiaries and
has over 82,000 employees and the employees been spanned over 40 countries (Alles et al.
2018). The company faced huge challenges when it required the employment of the
harmonious Human Resource Management functions in the entire organization. The ways by
which the employment plan faced a huge amount of maintenance cost, made the organization
go through a lot of difficult situations like the lack of transparency in the local costs, the
problems in the decision-making systems, the problems occurring in the resource allocation
and utilization and many others (Oseni et al. 2017). This problem made it very problematic
for LG to function as a global organization and therefore, the company decided to implement
the benefits that organizations enjoy through the employment of the ERP system.
