## Current IT Landscape
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This is how the current IT landscape looks like
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|

|
||||||

|
||||||
|
|
||||||

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Problems Being faced
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Fundamental problems being faced by GTPL
|
||||||
|
* Each department uses its own set of tools which are disconnected from each other leading to duplication of efforts which costs time and money
|
||||||
|
* No tool for organisation members to effectively communicate with each other.
|
||||||
|
* No single platform which can provide data to act as a decision support system
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Solution
|
||||||
|
ERPNext is an integrated tool to efficiently capture, store, manage, retrieve, interpret and share data in a secure and reliable manner.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* All departments use different modules of same platform which eliminates the need for duplication of efforts
|
||||||
|
* All Data is stored in a single database and each member of the organisation accesses the relevant data
|
||||||
|
* Analytics derived from the data act as a decision support system
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
