ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning):

ERP is a widely used to maintain the whole information about the company .It has different packages

 SAP
 Oracle Apps(Oracle applications)
 People Soft
 JD Edwards
 BAAN

On ERP two types of people work

 Functional: who are process oriented and gives specifications

 Technical: who does the coding

SAP:

It has occupied the major share of all the ERP packages .It has many modules covering all
the activities of the company some of the modules or functionaries of SAP are:

 Plant Maintenance (PM)
 Project Systems (PS)
 SAP programming language is ABAP4 the programmers who work with ABAP4 are called ABAP
programmers.

Oracle APPS:

Popularly used package but which has only few functionaries modules available from Oracle Apps are
as follows :

 Oracle Finance

The data base administrators who maintain Oracle Apps are called Oracle Apps DBA and the
programmers are called Apps Developers who are responsible for implementation and overall database
management.
The latest version of the Oracle Apps is 11i which is an ERP package had the functionaries like-
Financials (General Ledger, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivables and other Fixed assets).

People Soft
Another ERP package which has few modules only and people who work on people soft are
People Soft DBA’s.
 People Soft HRMS
 Finance

JD Edwards
It has some modules of functionaries
 Finance
 Human Resource

The tools used for CRM
 Eiphiphony
 Siebel
 Vanture
 Oracle
