Which content management system is best to implement enterprise resource planning system; in the area of manufacturing? and i need justification as much as possible. Thank you.
Long back one of my friend used Apache Roller for content management. He felt it was user friendly and it is an open source tool. You can try that.
In my view CMS encompasses varied dimensions. One needs to be careful of the the implicit services available in an ERP as product and look for interfaces if needed. But the question is "How often do we use a CMS in ERP? If this is answered well and justified, RoIs would be well articulated and one may act immediately.
It depends on the business scenarios therefore it is hard to specify one product.

Content management and ERP are two rather different applications. CMS are mainly about dealing with and editing files - these days, especially those on the web. ERP, particularly in manufacturing, needs to be founded on accurate numerical data, right down to transaction level. That is not functionality in the CMS I know of. The CMS that I know would not be the right tool at all for building a manufacturing ERP.

Hi Tulu Tilahun,
I entirely agree with John Steven Edwards. CMS and ERP are two rather different applications. ERP systems are used to support business and decision processes.They collect and process transactional data, and deliver processed data (information) to users. Information can be delivered via corporate portals built based on CMS.
Best wishes,
Ewa

Hi, there is no single one as you mean the best. Some open source tools available and can cover one or another aspect of ERP. Therefore my advice first to check some open source tools to evaluate their capabilities ...
Hello Tulu,
ERP Systems like SAP have their own methods to manage information about the processes supported by the system. In order to maintain the functionality configured in the system you should follow the method. For instance Solman in SAP. The content management system would be more oriented towards the company practices that gave them competitive advantage in the market or distinctive characteristics among competitors. Those practices represent knowledge that must be preserved, and CMS may help in doing so, the practical effect of a well implemented CMS is that you start to depend less on things people know (things that are regularly done) and value more innovation that people could develop.
I hope this is helpful.
Regards,
Alejandro
