Q1.Sparsh Hospital (Orthopedic) required a robust business management solution to get the most efficiency and results from their team of medical professionals across multiple branches. The lack of system integration made processing bulk data volumes slow and prone to errors. Manual reporting was inefficient and not possible in real-time. Additionally, the existing laboratory information management system (LIMS) software led to duplicate data and processes. Sparsh Hospital wanted to eliminate these errors by using an ERP system. As a consultant to Sparsh hospital, what are the benefits of ERP packages that you will highlight to the management to overcome the challenges faced by them? How will you ensure that the implementation goes smooth, costs are saved rather than wasted?
