Today's dynamic and turbulent business environment requires organizations to become globally competitive, and their long-term survival depends on the delivery of value added products and services to their customers in the shortest possible time. This in turn, demands the integration of enterprise processes to achieve efficiencies along the entire business value-chain starting from the supplier to the customer. Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is the strategic instrument that allows companies to gain competitive advantage in the marketplace by integrating all business processes and optimizing the utilization of available resources.
