Can an ERP be setup with internet access?
Most managers and owners would like to travel and yet remain updated with their business process. Almost always, they have to choose between the two.
In this internet age, there is no need for them to choose between the two. Likewise, there is no need for them to burn airtime credits and call credits just to remain updated. The only thing the they need to do first is to make sure that they have implemented an Enterprise resource planning (ERP) program that will allow them full access with full functionality yet secure while they are out of the office. They need a weberp!
So, what is enterprise resource planning (ERP)?
According to wiki, “Enterprise resource planning (ERP) is an enterprise-wide information system designed to coordinate all the resources, information, and activities needed to complete business processes such as order fulfillment or billing.An ERP system supports most of the business system that maintains in a single database the data needed for a variety of business functions such as Manufacturing, Supply Chain Management, Financials, Projects, Human Resources and Customer Relationship Management.” In short, it is the blueprint of the whole operations put into a fully intergrated system.
And what is WEBERP? WEBERP is an ERP that is fully webbased. No, I am not talking about a system that has internet access or a system that has an internet backdoor. I am talking about a system that is using the security settings available for most online business and stored on a web server that is fully live online.
This system is very much fitted for businesses that are either mobile or has multiple locations. Mobile businesses are small to medium sized businesses that need to be in a specific location on a different time of the year. On one hand, multiple location businesses could be in this setup: the manufacturing is done in one location while the distribution sector is located in different locations all over the country or all over the world.
Both type of businesses will greatly benefit from a WEBERP.
Mobile businesses would not worry about the safety of their server as they move from one location to another as it is not on their mobile office. Multiple warehouse location or office location will also be assured of the same. Should one site’s WAN access goes down, the other sites can remain live.
Of course, the tricky part is to choose the web server.
So can an ERP be setup with an internet access? The answer is YES. In fact it can be fully web based!
