ERP systems typically include the following characteristics:

§  An integrated system that operates in (next to) real time, without relying on periodic updates.
§  A common database that supports all applications.
§  A consistent look and feel throughout each module.
§  Installation of the system without elaborate application/data integration by the Information Technology (IT) department.
