For many people, ‘Enterprise Resource Planning’ software is the perfect ‘software for domain experts’ – since it can be used to plan and manage a wide variety of activities.<\/p>\n
The limitation is activities which are not process based and require expert judgement.<\/p>\n
Ie, activities which need more than “collecting, storing, managing and interpreting data”.<\/p>\n
An ERP system will help you track business resources, where your business transactions are (purchase orders), your payroll.<\/p>\n
Typical modules can be accounting, HR, managing manufacturing processes, order processing, supply chain management.<\/p>\n
This only works for aspects of business which are processes. Plenty of business isn’t.<\/p>\n
A customer relationship management system – which is similar in design – basically a database of customers, and a system to analyse the data.<\/p>\n
It can gather data from all the different channels customers use, and then be used to put together marketing and sales plans.<\/p>\n
But this only works to the extent that customers’ relationships can be managed, and if this is useful. For example, if you work for a music company, your success depends on getting the music (and everything associated with it, ie the people) into the market, which an audience wants to build a relationship with – you end up with Adele or Taylor Swift. This is a task requiring enormous expertise, and not something a computer could help you with.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
