Not only do company’s need to work harder, they need to work smarter.  ERP systems like Central Desktop help bridge together virtual offices and remote groups saving time and resources. “The climate may be a little tougher than usual to bring in new customers, but from a bottom line perspective, increasing productivity has the same result at increasing top-line sales and that’s what ERP systems can do for an organization” says Alan Zach, a senior consultant at Stormthink.

What is ERP – Enterprise Resource Planning?

Enterprise Resource Planning is an enterprise-wide information system designed to coordinate all the business’ resources, information, and activities such as manufacturing, supply chain management, financials, projects, human resources and customer relationship management. ERP originated as an extension of MRP (material requirement planning) and is now recognized as a business solution covering all basic functions of an enterprise, regardless of the organization's business, size or charter. Non-manufacturing businesses, non-profit organizations and governments now all use ERP systems.
