One of the major Advantages of using Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is that it can aid businesses in eradicating blunders and repetition in data.
That means all departments talk to each other, in the digital world, constantly avoiding costly errors and duplications.
I disapprove of political jokes, too many get elected.
However, when the government embraces new technology, you can expect changes.
The Australian government is implementing ERP saying it is an option for all municipalities.
In the same breath, they state ERP will be mandatory for all non-corporate commonwealth entities.
The word “mandatory” is not used synonymously with choice.
If they are adamant about forcing the adaptation of new software, we should know more about it and how it will affect us.
Over the next few minutes, we will understand more about ERP software.
There are advantages to industries implementing manufacturing, retail, mining, food, agriculture, healthcare, or construction ERP software.
1. Automation of the data
Managing projects takes countless hours to compile data for cost estimations, procurement logistics, planning, workflows, and more.

Long-term strategic planning with ERP will allow the highest efficiency between project sites no matter the location.
5. Boost ROI with ERP Cost Management Efficiencies
ERP efficiencies extend to your costing.
Efficient costing helps increase ROI by avoiding labour-intensive systems to control employees, materials, and supplies. ERP will not miss deadlines.
6. Enhanced Stakeholder Confidence
The multiple stakeholders of large multi-faceted projects face regulatory and budget concerns that ERP can provide real-time data for confidence or redirection as needed.
Everyone who has access can identify roadblocks sooner, and magnify effectual project execution.
7. Error Reduction and Profit Increase

8. Improved Data Security
The last point I will make pertains to data security.
ERP places all data in one place not distributed across your company network.
Those who use the system can have remote access to all data for decision-making from remote sites. Set your governance and authorities correctly.
ERP will help the public sector by managing strict government budgets with highly accurate forecasting.
Budget managers can use data to plan activities. How vast and distant are government projects?
Your business can benefit from ERP with your budget.
If you extrapolate that to the size of the national budget, the savings to the taxpayer are monumental.
When the spreadsheets disappear that have been cultivated and maintained for years, expect some kickback.
Schedule all stakeholder’s ERP training sessions BEFORE implementation for a smooth transition.
