In his book Essays in Love, famed Author Alain de Botton suggests:<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Every fall into love involves the triumph of hope over self-knowledge. We fall in love hoping we won\u2019t find in another what we know is in ourselves, all the cowardice, weakness, laziness, dishonesty, compromise, and stupidity. We throw a cordon of love around the chosen one and decide that everything within it will somehow be free of our faults. We locate inside another a perfection that eludes us within ourselves, and through our union with the beloved, hope to maintain a precarious faith in our species.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But regardless of our best intentions, the divorce rate continues to soar with a planet average of over 50%! If only Cupid had the precision and success rate provided by a good ERP system. Perhaps then the human pursuit of love would be a lot more fruitful.<\/p>\n<p>The benefits of ERP are undeniable:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Greater control \u2013 access to a 360 degree view of what\u2019s going on around you<\/li>\n<li>Simplified processes &#8211; streamlining and centralizing operations, creating a more efficient workflow between departments and functions<\/li>\n<li>Empowered employees &#8211; at every level of the organization by making information available for better, faster decisions<\/li>\n<li>Better integration &#8211; helping an organization function as one unified entity.
