What is the difference between ERP and SAP? |
What is the difference between ERP and SAP? ERP stands for Enterprise Resource Planning, it is a concept or more commonly known as a business methodology that corporations use to manage their businesses. As its name goes, this is a methodology that helps biz plan and optimise their resources to ultimately maximise its profit. ERP is derived from MRP (Manufacturing Resource Planning), which originally only focused on production throughput as well as inventory efficiency. It was around 1995 where sales, financial, and logistics are incorporated into the MRP to form this ERP methodology. While ERP is the methodology, IT companies made use of their computer programming expertise to automate this methodology. Such companies that automated it are as such: SAP, Oracle, Peoplesoft, etc. Hope the info helps. SAP is a brand of ERP. ERP is Enterprise Resource Planning of which there are several players: SAP JD Edwards Oracle MS Dynamics DB2 (to a lesser extent). WebERP (freeware) To answer the question, there is no difference as SAP is ERP. |
