What is Integrated Enterprise Software?

Enterprise software is an over-arching term for any software used in large organizations (whether business or government). It is considered to be an essential part of a computer-based information system, and it provides business-oriented tools such as online payment processing and automated billing systems. 

The main goal behind enterprise software is to improve enterprise productivity and efficiency through business logic support functionality. Enterprise software performs business functions including order processing, accounting and customer relationship management.

Implied in the above is that all (or at least most) aspects of the enterprise's information and operational systems are integrated into one software solution or database. This allows functions to share the same data and information in real time, improving accuracy, timing and efficiency of decision making and money making information.

Well known providers of Enterprise software are SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics and NetSuite. These are big systems that are typically customized to the needs of big corporations and businesses. But there are lesser known solutions for small and medium sized businesses that are  just as effective.

Telar IT believe "effective" means:

1. One software solution that everyone in the organization knows how to use; 
   
2. Software that is integrated so that data and information is shared in real time; and
   
3. A solution that is accessible to everyone who needs, and who is authorized, to access the system.
   

To achieve this means having the software that can integrate functions and that can be delivered ubiquitously. As importantly, it requires a human support structure that can fit the software to the business, manage the implementation and train and support staff in the organization.

Don't be fooled into thinking your bookkeeping software can do this. Enterprise software is designed to work with your business to grow by interacting with customers and vendors more efficiently, managing staff more conveniently and meaningfully and improving cash flow. Business owners and entrepreneurs get this concept and it is good to know that such solutions are available and affordable.
