What is an ERP System, and how does ArgoERP

help you save up to 50% on costs annually?

 

Maximizing organizational efficiency is a challenge that businesses cannot avoid. The involvement of a large workforce requires coordination, data collection, and management in an organized manner. Without proper system implementation, complications may arise, increasing the risk of errors and delays due to inefficient coordination.

This challenge is particularly evident in large organizations or factories with multiple departments, each potentially using different systems. For example, the HR department might use one program, the accounting department another, and the warehouse yet another. Such a setup prevents executives from having a comprehensive view of the organization, leading to disconnected data and making management analysis and planning difficult. The ERP system was developed to address these issues by allowing all departments to operate within a single unified system.

What is ERP ? 

ERP Software, or Enterprise Resource Planning, is a system designed to manage an organization's resources effectively. It assists your business in handling documentation processes, managing various departments within a single system, and planning operations to achieve maximum efficiency and utility. This system is designed and developed to support businesses of all types.

ArgoERP from Ares is software designed to address management and operational challenges across all departments of an organization. The system seamlessly connects and integrates all business processes, ensuring smooth and efficient operations.

How Many Types of ERP Systems ?

ERP systems are divided into two types:

1. On-Premise ERP System: This system is installed on the organization's own hardware and software, providing a higher level of data security. It is suitable for large organizations with substantial budgets and sufficient resources. On-Premise ERP systems offer high flexibility and can be customized to meet the specific needs of the organization. They are more stable but come with higher installation, maintenance, and development costs.

2. On-Cloud ERP System: This system is delivered through cloud services, allowing organizations to access it easily from anywhere with an internet connection. A significant advantage is that organizations do not need to invest in hardware and servers, as the service provider manages the entire system. On-Cloud ERP systems generally have lower costs compared to On-Premise systems.

The choice of ERP system type depends on the organization's needs, budget, and resources. Organizations should carefully consider these factors to ensure a long-term investment that efficiently covers all departments with a one-time payment.
