How does information integration in ERP improve decision-making? Choose the best statement.
It provides unified, real-time data visibility across functions, lowering errors and enabling faster, evidence-based analysis.
It adds more reports without sharing data between departments, keeping decisions independent.
It focuses only on HR screens, leaving other modules unchanged.
It removes the need for historical data, so decisions rely solely on intuition.
Which statement correctly contrasts Big Bang and Phased ERP implementation strategies?
Big Bang activates all modules simultaneously, while Phased rolls them out in stages to lower immediate risk.
Both Big Bang and Phased require parallel operation for an extended period.
Phased turns on every module at once, whereas Big Bang deploys them one by one.
Neither strategy affects cutover risk or user training needs.
Select the critical success factors for ERP implementation.
Executive sponsorship and governance
Comprehensive change management and user training
High data quality with well-planned migration
Minimal testing to accelerate go-live

Which description best matches a typical Cloud ERP vendor offering for mid-sized firms?
A subscription-based SaaS suite such as Oracle NetSuite that provides integrated financials, CRM, and supply chain modules with scalable multi-tenant hosting; strengths include rapid deployment and continuous updates, while limitations include constrained deep customization.
An on-premises-only ERP requiring perpetual licenses and dedicated servers; strengths include automatic vendor-managed updates, while limitations include no integration capabilities.
A niche mobile app that manages social posts; strengths include advanced manufacturing planning, while limitations include lack of accounting functions.
A desktop spreadsheet that replaces all ERP modules; strengths include real-time collaboration across plants, while limitations include complex API ecosystems.
Which example best illustrates companies applying the Composable ERP trend?
Organizations assemble interoperable modules via APIs—e.g., replacing the finance component without disrupting CRM—so capabilities can be swapped and scaled like building blocks.
Companies lock into a single monolithic suite with no third‑party integrations to ensure uniformity.
Firms keep legacy systems and avoid integration to minimize change.
Enterprises move only HR to cloud and retain all other modules on paper forms.
