According to Investopedia, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is a platform companies use to manage and integrate the essential parts of their business. Many ERP software applications are critical to companies because they help them implement resource planning by integrating all the processes needed to run their companies with a single system. 

ERP systems can also integrate planning, purchasing, sales, marketing, finance, human resource, and many more. For more information about ERP systems and software development DTI is going ask Widiyanto Kang – Business Development Manager Yonyou Singapore.

Software development in the last 30 years

Yonyou has grown to the stage it is now. We were established in 1988, and it has been 35 years this year. For a software company, it is a big challenge to exist for 35 years. Many software companies in the same period as us have disappeared. Why do we continue to exist??

The biggest secret is companionship. For more than 30 years, we have been accompanying the growth of the company. From the computerization of the financial department at the beginning to the ERP management of enterprise-level applications. The informatization development of customers is the development of Yonyou. 

But today, the business of an enterprise is no longer limited to internal management issues such as financial management and supply chain management of an enterprise but also needs to be integrated with upstream and downstream enterprises and social service links. So, to solve these problems, our products and services have reached the 3.0 stage. This stage addresses the need for socialization. 

It is necessary to build a business innovation platform, use the latest information technology to serve a new round of business innovation and help our company become a digital intelligence enterprise.

YonSuite is known as cloud native architecturean, it provides an integrated cloud service package of “Marketing, SCM, Manufacturing, Purchase, Finance, Taxation, HR, OA, CRM, and Projects“.
