An organization is a self-contained community in itself. As with communities, communication is a must. Communication is the cornerstone of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP). This is true for all cases. Without communication, even a robust Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system is useless.


Just as in any system, ERP Software/Solution people form the backbone. People using ERP Implementations have to communicate effectively and efficiently with other members. Openness should be the basic concept of such an ERP System. No communication between people and its offices/departments, results in an ERP system not being successful.


When an ERP Vendor or an ERP Software or ERP Solution is selected, management usually selects it. People working on the ERP System or ERP Implementation have no say in the selection process. This results in issues not being fixed quickly enough. Management and ERP Vendors have to always interact with the people using the implemented ERP Software/Solution.
