The concept of becoming a demand-driven organization through the use of ERP systems has been well-proven, has the ability to get greater levels of financial performance through more process efficiency as well. The near-term benefits are greater levels of process and in many cases, system integration that allow organizations to perform more efficiently. In addition, ERP systems can greatly reduce the number of errors an organization makes in its supply chain, order management, manufacturing, and fulfillment processes as well. Future potential benefits include the ability to anticipate and respond to demand more efficiently (Burrows 2007).
Internet Communications Improvements and ERP Effectiveness
The immediate impact of the Internet on ERP effectiveness beings with more real-time integration to suppliers, and therefore better visibility and forecasting during the production scheduling and fulfillment processes. Second, the Internet and its capacity for real-time communications also provides a more direct link and potential for understanding customers' demands clearly and with greater speed as well. All this translates into having an ERP system that becomes truly demand-driven (Burrows, 2007) and therefore has the ability to be more responsive over time to the needs of customers' that are relying on their orders to be filled.

Critical Success Factors: According to Bingi, Sharma, and Godla (1999) Implementing an ERP causes massive change that needs to be carefully managed to reap the benefits of an ERP solution. Critical issues that must be carefully considered to ensure successful implementation include commitment from top management, reengineering of the existing processes, integration of the ERP with other business information systems, selection and management of
In addition, the software can be used to track data that is only being used by the person who is creating the data. This would be much the same way as having the software for personal use, only it would be used for organizational purposes. Because the software is useful in many different kinds of situations and for various types of data, that makes the software much more valuable and
The SME can then refine the description of the requirements and the formulation of the company's questions to the vendors. Each requirement is ranked according to the risks and opportunities identified by each user group and an aggregate of the data allows the user groups opinions to be consolidated (Krystkowiak et al., 2004). Finally, Figure 3 below is an OPAL screen that shows how the SME weights each requirement by
