Prior to the arrival of J.D. Edwards software and other providers of early ERP integrated business solutions, most companies were typically running their separate departments and business teams on independent, isolated platforms. This presented a unique set of problems for operations managers in the manufacturing sector, who struggled to coordinate complex tasks on factory shop floors. These tasks, like scheduling, receiving, ordering and assembly, often required contributions from multiple departments. But before system integration, departments could not share access to data required for overlapping tasks, and they were not able to share access to the same back office management tools that could be run on a streamlined operating platform. Once the first ERP systems were developed and implemented, all of this began to change, and productivity and efficiency took rapid leaps forward. But for many years, the benefits of ERP integration were expensive and out of reach for all but the largest businesses with the most flexible technology budgets. In recent years, new developments and innovations are appearing as providers look for a market share foothold among smaller businesses. Integrated ERp systems are now rapidly becoming scaled, customized and more affordable and reliable than ever before.
