Here, one click is enough to reveal desired data in a few seconds. With the validity of right authorization, the concerned person or concerned department can access the data at any time. Data security and backup functionalities for losing data booths are highly maintained by an ERP.

As per expert opinion, standard ERP matches 70 to 80 percent business requirements of any organization while rest of the 15 to 20 percent customization is okay.
