ERP for Educational Institutions– An Introduction
Enterprise Resource Planning - Software that integrates departments and functions across an institution into one computer system. ERP runs off a single database, enabling various departments to share information and communicate with each other. ERP systems comprise function-specific modules designed to interact with the other modules, e.g. Personnel Department, Academics, Affiliations, Examinations, Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, Purchasing, etc.
In the literature on ERP, the most commonly stated objectives for implementing an ERP system include providing better information for planning and management of higher education institutions, along with better service to faculty, students, and staff and potentially increasing revenues and reducing costs through department owning and maintaining its own databases and introducing instead a cross departmental system, especially at large doctoral institutions. For instance, an ERP system can combine student databases such as registration and financial aid with human resource systems, thereby eliminating the need for duplicate records for a current student who is both on financial aid and employed by the university. Other systems including alumni, donor and sponsored projects databases can eventually be added through modular software purchases.

The following are the modules, which we made existence in the application to serve your institution

Availability of information on a centralized location helps institutions in better management of operations. The database is centralized and the users can access the required information from anywhere within the institution depending on their role. This also helps in concurrent updating of data. This application yields the following benefits to the Institution.
o Easy management of data.
o Reduced paper work/documentation.
o Reduced Redundancy of data.
