General audience and purpose of SCM, CRM and ERP

   Integration Tools

🙈 Many companies purchase modules from an ERP vendor, an SCM vendor and a CRM vendor and       must integrate the different modules together.

           😎 Middleware - Several different types of software which sit in the middle of and provide                                                connectivity between two or more software applications.

           😎 Enterprise application integration (EAI) middleware

                - Packages together commonly used functionality which reduced the time necessary to                           develop solutions that integrate applications from multiple vendors.

     Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)

 😁 ERP systems must integrate various organization processes and be :

        1) Flexible

            - Must be able to quickly respond to the changing needs of the organization

        2) Modular and open

             - Must have an open system architecture, meaning that any module can be interface with or                    detached whenever required without affecting the other modules.

        

          3) Comprehensive

                - Must be able to support a variety of organizational functions for a wide range of                                    businesses.

          4) Beyond the company

               - Must support external partnerships and collaboration efforts.

 👾 ERP solutions are growing because :

     - ERP is a logical solution to the mess of incompatible applications that had sprung up in most                businesses.

    - ERP addresses the need for global information sharing and reporting.

    - ERP is used to avoid the pain and expense of fixing legacy systems.
