ERM (enterprise resource management)
ERM also stands for enterprise
relationship management.
1) ERM (enterprise resource management) describes software that lets an enterprise
manage user access to its network resources efficiently. ERM software generally lets a user sign on
to different enterprise systems and applications using the same password. ERM software makes it
easy for the enterprise to control and keep track of which systems and resources each user has
access to, and provides consistent standards for creating and changing passwords. One system
administrator can usually manage user access to all platforms - UNIX, mainframe, Windows NT, and so
forth - and to the applications on these platforms that require controlled access.
2) ERM (enterprise resource management) also describes software that manages all of a company's
assets and resources, including such basic applications as general ledger, accounts payable and
receivable, as well as manufacturing, inventory, and human resources.
