Answer to Question 1

Enterprise resource planning (ERP) software packages are business systems that integrate all facets of a business, including accounting, logistics, manufacturing, marketing, planning, project management, and treasury functions.

Answer to Question 2

In many organizations, the business logic is distributed among many different applications that are used in different parts of the organization. In recent years, many IT departments have devoted significant resources to the creation of links among these scattered applications so that the organizations business logic can be interconnected. The creation and management of these links is called application integration or enterprise application integration. The integration is accomplished by programs that transfer information from one application to another. For example, a program might transfer information from order entry systems in several different divisions to a single accounts receivable and sales system that integrates all enterprise-wide sales activity. In many cases, the data formats in the various programs are different and the transfer programs must edit and reformat the data before transferring it. Many systems use XML data feeds to move data from one application to another in these implementations.
