Organizations must have a Management Information System to increase potential in every business area. An important part of that system is ERP Software, which can help a company decrease repetition in each functional area and integrate internal information to help achieve company goals and strategies .

ERP is software that integrates different systems within the organization: Accounting, back office, Human Resources (HRM), Payroll, Manufacturing (MRP), Customer Relations (CRM), and Shipping (SCM). The software has the ability to connect each of these different departments within an organization to allow for each department to work efficiently and decrease the steps necessary to complete the work. It also provides managers with correct and accurate information to aid them in the decision making process. The software works on many Database Management Systems (DBMS), such as Oracle, MS SQL, SQL, EXPRESS, MSDE, IBM, DB2, INFORMIX, and others .
