For example, the headquarters requires software that establishes uniformity, business process efficiency, and compliance while meeting its need for transparency
and visibility.

So enterprise resource planning (ERP)software that institutes a standard template is important for corporate operations.
Moreover, subsidiaries need to be nimble to fulfill their strategic purpose, whether it’s to grow the organization, penetrate a
market, or reduce costs through global sourcing or manufacturing.
These business units still need to be efficient and in control, but too much standardization can get in the way of innovation.

They need room for flexibility while still fitting into the overall corporate structures. That’s where a two-tier ERP strategy can
help.

A two-tier ERP model lets you preserve ERP investments while equipping subsidiaries with an agile business management
system.
