With the increasing competitive business environment and need for providing best in class products and services, the demand for ERP implementation is growing. There is not one defined approach to implement ERP system, in order to yield the desired and expected results. Further, ERP are of the shelf packages which offer integrated applications and enhance the quality of day to day activities of an organization.
