ERP portals provide personalized access to corporate information from different software programs. ERP software vendors offer online portals for group purchasing and third-party services. ERP outsourcing companies provide all services online and integrate information databases across multiple organizations. Portals allow customers to access their data and other products or services provided by the ERP outsourcing company. The ERP outsourcing provider can negotiate discounts and add complementary services to their customer base. Internally developed ERP portals integrate information from different systems into one window.
An enterprise resource planning (ERP) portal is a personalized interface to corporate information. ERP portals deliver information from different software programs to provide the individual user with a personalized view of this information. Many different ERP services and software companies have developed online ERP portals for their customer base. Other companies may internally develop an ERP portal for their employees.
ERP software vendors have created online ERP portals so their customers can access services provided by third parties as a larger group purchasing group. These types of portals feature advertisements for services that can be purchased in various industries. One such service could be travel services. For example, an energy company needs to purchase travel services for its employees in a similar way to a fertilizer company. If the energy company and the fertilizer company are customers of a specific ERP software vendor, the software vendor can match the purchasing power of the two companies with a third-party vendor.
Some companies have chosen to use an ERP outsourcing company instead of licensing software. ERP outsourcing companies provide all ERP software services online rather than as an installed system in each organization. These companies integrate the software and information databases across multiple organizations which can reduce the initial cost of implementing an ERP system. Because information is truly integrated across multiple organizations, the service provider can quickly add additional services to its customer base.
Every customer of an ERP outsourcing company has its own portal on ERP services. These services allow the customer to enter all ERP data specific to their own organization. Each customer, in turn, can have a personalized view of this data. A portal allows the customer to access their information as well as other products or services provided by the ERP outsourcing company.
The ERP outsourcing company can negotiate discounts and other preferential contracts to deliver to its customer base using the information built into its systems. The customer benefits from purchasing additional products through an ERP portal, through the reduced purchase price, or by having these products delivered directly to the customer’s location. The ERP outsourcing provider opens up additional lines of business by adding complementary services that can be sold to their customer base through the ERP portal.
Internally developed ERP portals integrate information into the systems of a large corporation so that each user can access the right information at the right time. Many large companies have licensed software for each of their business areas. An ERP portal allows the corporation to integrate the data stored in each of these systems in one window.
