ERP Consulting

STC can help you implement enterprise application software, such as SAP, PeopleSoft and Oracle Applications commonly referred to as "ERP" software. Enterprise Resource Planning Systems (ERP) facilitate the seamless integration of all the information flowing through a company—financial, accounting, human resources, supply chain, and customer information. ERP systems fundamentally integrate the different processes necessary in a business into a centralized pool that facilitates data sharing and eliminates redundancy. ERP provides information management and analysis to organizations.

The major benefits of ERP systems include:

• Real-time information made available throughout all the functional areas of an organization
• Improved data standardization and accuracy across the enterprise
• “Best practices” included in the applications
•  The efficiency gained throughout an organization
• The analysis and reporting made available for long-term planning
