What Is ERP? How It Works and Who Uses It
TL;DR
What is an ERP system? Software that runs a company's core operations, finance, inventory, sales, and HR on one shared database instead of separate disconnected tools.
How is it usually deployed? Roughly three-to-one hosted over on-premises among G2 reviewers who report it.
Who actually uses it? Mid-market companies, not primarily enterprise or manufacturing ones. G2's Fall 2026 Grid Report for ERP Systems shows mid-market as the largest segment of reviewers; enterprise buyers are the smallest of the three.
What's it actually used for? Not any single function. Across 391 recent G2 reviews, the top theme is eliminating the disagreement between systems that used to run finance, inventory, and sales separately.
How long does it take, and does it pay off? Most implementations go live within six months, and typical payback runs close to 19 months, longer than the median contract term.
Enterprise resource planning is one of those terms that turns up everywhere in business software and rarely gets pinned down. Most definitions call it the system that ties a company's departments together, which is true, but skips the part that actually matters.
