ERP systems have proven themselves to be useful in almost any industry. They are so useful, in fact, that they are beginning to be viewed as a cure-all. What you must remember, though, is that while ERP systems are definitely amazing tools, it is important to remember that they are just that – tools. Like all tools, there is a right way and a wrong way to use them, and you can’t use an ERP system correctly without getting some knowledge beforehand.
