Both probably have information silos if they have a database for each area of work. This could happen if each area doesn 't have a way to communicate their data to the others, which causes problems in the business system running smoothly.

It would be difficult to work with the students because there would be more constraints on teaching and learning in general. Every class and student is different, which makes creating a ERP system difficult to implement. To measure the potential improvement that an ERP system could provide to classes, the school could look at student grades or take a survey of
