Abstract:  
Aggregating data resulting from the procurement, production, accounting, HR, sales and other related processes in reports that the organization's managers can use for their information and decisions, is one of the main objectives of all factors concerned by the managerial chain. This is even more obvious when the reports would lose their volatile aspect once it becomes possible to update them at any point by a simple click of a button. As compared to a non-integrated software system, that monitors separately the operations of various departments of the organization, it is obviously preferable to acquire the same kind of reports from an integrated system, such as ERP SAP. What are the costs of the implementation of this kind of system, how long does it take until it becomes fully functional and reliable, what are the pros and the cons of implementing it and what its limits are - these are some issues on which we try to bring clarification.
