Computer: Software: Enterprise: Resource: Planning: ERP: What is ERP?

---

ERP = Enterprise Resource Planning.

---

Enterprise resource planning software is an integrated software
package that unites several of the most important demands needed to run
an enterprise, like:

 -administration

 -customer resource management

 -finances

 -human resources

 -logistics (transport, distribution, ...)

 -planning

 -production

 -sales

 ...

and in case of a multinational company this possibly also on a 
worldwide
scale (so in order to let people communicate on a global scale over 
the 5 continents)
using e.g.

 -distributed computing (whereby two or more computers (mainframe,
                         workstation, desktop, ...) on possibly one or
                         more operating systems (S390, Unix, Linux,
                         Microsoft Windows, ...), and using several
                         computer languages (e.g. C++, Java, .NET, ...)
                         are connected and working together)

 -multilingual (possibilities for versions in English, French, German,
                Norwegia, Swedish, Japanese, Chinese, ...)

mainly by:

 -Baan (the Netherlands)
