Abstract

To achieve synergy across product lines, businesses are implementing a set of standard business applications and consistent data definitions across all business units. ERP packages are extremely useful in integrating a global company and provide a "common language" throughout the company. Companies are not only implementing a standardized application but is also moving to a common architecture and infrastructure. For many companies, a standardized software rollout is a good time to do some consolidation of their IT infrastructure across various locations. Companies are also finding that the ERP solutions help them get rid of their legacy systems, most of which may not be compliant with the modern day business requirements.
