Oracle, Workday & Other ERP

What is Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)?

Integrated business software managing core processes such as finance, procurement, manufacturing, sales, and HR on shared data.

Major vendors include SAP, Oracle, Microsoft, Workday, and Infor. ERP integration means a single transaction can affect many functions, which drives integration and regression testing needs. Modern ERP is increasingly delivered as SaaS.
