(1) What is the break-even unit (Middle Management)

回覆刪除Accounting, Finance, Sales, Marketing, Procurement and Production all need to coordinate in order to carry out all the steps within the Order-to-Cash business process. Since all these departments are using a single integrated software package (ERP), the coordination and information sharing can be done seamlessly (e.g. without manual steps or delays).
And you are absolutely correct in saying that management can also monitor real-time performance of the entire company using ERP !
