According to Alshami , CIOs should be aware of the rapid pace at which ERP is developing and the significant gains it can bring to their organisation in terms of improving the management of day-to-day business activities , such as procurement , project management , operations , financials and sales . He modern ERP systems are usually cloud-based and utilise AI and Big Data , helping organisations to gain flexibility and scalability , while enabling them to maximise the value of their data .
“ ERP that has been designed for specific industries provides the fastest time to value and can help deliver productivity and agility by empowering the workforce , automating complex processes and increasing collaboration across the customer ’ s entire business ecosystem ,” he said . “ It can also provide greater visibility and enterprise-level insights , enabling teams to make quick , data-driven decisions .”
