Enterprise Resource Planning
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems have evolved to become the information backbone of every organization. Most of the large-sized manufacturing organizations have implemented ERP; however, many small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) still run their businesses using traditional disintegrated software applications. SMEs are looking for ERP systems that are cost effective and faster to implement. Hence, most ERP vendors are focusing on building ERP systems for SMEs, catering to diverse industry segments.
ERP vendors are following industry trends by migrating their products to the latest platforms and technologies such as Web 2.0, Web Service, SOA, SaaS, AJAX, and XML. This enables manufacturing companies to collaborate with their suppliers, distributors, logistics providers, and retail enterprises to enhance operational efficiency.
Predominantly, most of the SMEs could not implement ERP due to high costs of IT infrastructure, maintenance, upgrades, and customization as well as long deployment cycles. On-Demand SaaS ERP systems cater to most of the needs of SMEs with a very attractive pricing model. SaaS ERP vendors also assure the security of data by adopting stringent compliance standards such as PCI, SAS 70, HIPAA, SOX, and AppExchange.
The Manufacturing Practice at Cybage and the ERP Center of Excellence offer development, customization, quality assurance, implementation, maintenance, and upgrade services to ERP ISVs across the globe.
