Overall Applicability
ERP is generally used in human resources management as well as in various social networking sites that require larger network connections between end users by enabling the use of blogs, wikis, tags and profile publishes.
Benefits
The major benefit of an ERP system is improved coordination across all departments of an organization and thus increasing efficiency. Other benefits include facilitation of day-to-day management. Data accessibility is therefore much better for management, as ERP systems provide up-to-date information for decision-making.
