ERP Infographic Roundup

As our regular readers know, we like to share interesting and informative infographics on our blog because infographics can be very useful learning tools.  An infographic presents information on a specific topic in a visually pleasing and easy to understand way.  Because of this, an infographic can be a great way to convey or share information on a complex subject or just shed some light on a topic of note. 

Today our infographics are all about Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP).  We’ve found a few great infographics that share some great information about ERP software and system implementation.  If you are in the process of choosing an ERP system for your organization, we have an infographic for just about every step in the process. 

Why ERP?

Why do companies choose to implement an ERP system in the first place? We begin our list of infographics with a basic explanation of some of the reasons companies choose to use an ERP system for their business operations.  If you are looking for a quick background for why organizations consider investing in an ERP system, this is a great infographic for you.  If an ERP solution is on your horizon, you will be happy to know that according to this infographic 81% of the companies surveyed responded that they were satisfied with their ERP decision.
