Enterprise resource planning (ERP) is designed to consolidate, manage and streamline an organization’s functions, processes, and workflows into a single system to enhance productivity and run the business efficiently, and effectively. ERP's goal is to provide valuable insights, real-time data and reporting capabilities while improving cost savings, data accuracy, security, and compliance. With automation and integration - ERP manages data and planning resources from finance, manufacturing, production, inventory management, procurement, product management, sales, marketing, and much more. In healthcare - it can also include systems for care and population health management, electronic medical records, claims and membership data, clinical informatics, just to name a few.
