Today we’ll talk about a serious topic – ERP. It stands for enterprise resource planning systems. Usually it’s a suite of integrated applications that a company can use to collect, store, manage and interpret data from many business activities.

 

This business management software helps many businesses in Canada and around the world track information across all departments and business functions, from accounting to human resources to sales and beyond. ERP provides an integrated view of core business processes, often in real-time.

 

According to softwareadvice.com among the Top 10 Most Recommended Enterprise Resource Planning Systems there is Sage ERP, NetSuite, SAP Business All-in-One and some others. Many ERP software companies offer vertical market solutions to meet the unique requirements of specific industries, such as manufacturing, distribution, retail and others.

 

You can ask me why I decided to talk about this topic. The reason is very simple. Some Government Funding Programs can cover your software cost including ERP.

 

First of all, there is the SMART program that can be used for software related to manufacturing process: “Plant equipment purchases, including software and equipment technologies that support manufacturing processes”.

 

Also, there is the Canada Job Grant that you can use for software training for your employees.

 

If you’re interested in purchasing or upgrading your software in the future, let us know and we’ll help you get government financing for those projects. It’s worth of considering!
