Question

Sam, the CEO of a product development company, is planning to implement an ERP system in his company. However, most of his colleagues advise him against implementing such a system saying that such systems have more weaknesses than strengths. Why should Sam still go ahead with the implementation

Answer 1

Answer:

C) once in place, the ERP can dramatically enhance operational efficiencies and reduce costs.

Explanation:

Enterprise resource planning (ERP) software basically supports the entire company and helps to manage different departments (finance, HR, supply chain, customer service, production, etc.) in one single application. ERP software improves the company's efficiency, allowing access to information, improves reporting and planning, promotes collaboration between departments and eases workflows, etc.

ERP software is not a solution per se, but it is powerful tool that helps an organization be more organized, coordinated, efficient and productive.  

Answer 2

Answer:

once in place,  the ERP can dramatically enhance operational efficiencies and reduce costs.

Explanation:

Based on the scenario being described within the question it can be said that Sam should still go ahead with the implementation because once in place,  the ERP can dramatically enhance operational efficiencies and reduce costs. Therefore seeing as the main goal of every product development company is to output as much product as efficiently as possible and at very low costs then it is worth implementing this system.
