ERP System Administration is a function that manages Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software, a suite of integrated business applications. ERP is as much a management methodology as it is software--thus administration is more than just technical or operational--it is full business process support to the enterprise. ERP administrators wear many hats. Their responsibilities include:

Troubleshooting system problems

• Help desk support
• Security administration
• Database backup schedules
• Manage and communicating maintenance schedules
• Managing interfaces to and from other systems
• Performing system upgrades
• Assist with training needs
