ERP software integrates data about the business with processes to run and control the business. Over the years, ERP has evolved from an on-premises software connecting multiple locations by private networks to hybrid or cloud-based applications, which users can access from almost anywhere. ERP platforms are critical enablers of finance, accounting, and operations teams.
