Advantages of ERP
Integration :
Integration can be highest benefit of them all - practically, the only really good project aim for implementing ERP is reducing data redundancy and redundant data entry. If this is set as a goal, to automate inventory posting to G/L etc. then it might be a successful project. Those companies where integration is not so important or even dangerous tend to have a hard time with ERP: ERP does not improve the individual efficiency of users, so if they expect it, it will be a big disappointment - ERP only improves the cooperation of users.
Efficiency :
Generally, ERP software focuses on integration and tends to not care about the daily needs of people. I think individual efficiency can suffer by implementing an ERP - so the big question is that whether the benefit of integration and cooperation can make up for the loss in personal efficiency or not.
Cost reduction :
It reduces cost only if the company took accounting and reporting seriously even before the ERP and had put a lot of manual effort in it. If they didn't care about it, if they just did some simple accounting to fill mandatory statements and if internal reporting did not exists of has not been financially-oriented, then no cost is reduced. If you can get a good estimate on next years sales by asking "Hey Joe, how it's going?" then don't ever think on implementing an ERP.
Fewer personnel :
Same as above. Less reporting or accounting personnel, but more sales assistants etc.
Accuracy :
People are accurate, not software. What ERP does is makes the lives of inaccurate people or organization a complete hell and maybe forces them to be accurate (which means hiring more people or distributing work better), or it falls.
