What is enterprise management system?

Enterprise Management System (EMS) or just Enterprise System (ES) is in a narrow meaning a software package that a large company or organization (enterprise) uses for their routine. Such systems support geographically dispersed IT infrastructures with many different processes needed to be maintained at the same time. Usually, EMS contains several pre-installed software and apps that everyone in a company can use as a corporate tool for cross-department collaboration.

Most EMS solutions include solutions that can support all the core business areas. Sales, Customer Relations, HR, Project management and others. Enterprise Management Solutions are different from those suitable for small and medium-sized organizations. However, there are some tools designed to support your business at any scale, like Google Workspace.

Usually, the Enterprise Management System is a package or set of tools that different departments use. They form one neat connected infrastructure that allows people within the company to easily share their data no matter what group they belong to. An even better way is to have one flexible app that every group within one large enterprise can tune to cover their needs.

The difference between EMS and EPM?

Sometimes, the terms Enterprise Management Systems and Enterprise Project Management (EPM) may be used interchangeably but they have a very different meaning. EPM solution may be a part of EMS but in most cases, EMS will include more software. On rare occasions, the EPM tool will form the whole EMS, mostly at the early enterprise stages.

Benefits of Enterprise Management Systems

The main benefit is that it’s much easier to support the IT infrastructure of a company when you have all its software in a group. It will take less time and less human resources than supporting all the apps used in a company by each individual user.

EMS currently is primarily working in a cloud, and that provides its high scalability. This is especially beneficial for enterprises that operate globally because their EMS can scale to any size. Also, it can support the company’s partners, suppliers, clients and contractors in any country.

Cross-department collaboration becomes easier with the right EMS. The fewer apps you have to connect, the easier is to manage the whole infrastructure.

What’s the cost of Enterprise Management Systems?

It’s not a surprise that EMS are not cheap. But the cost is always less than having different service providers for different departments or business areas. The more flexible is your EMS or EPM solution, the more areas will be satisfied with just one tool. It will significantly reduce the total cost even if going for an expensive solution. In the long run, it improves collaboration across teams, streamlines the company’s processes and results in higher effectiveness.
