Posted by Gracie on Apr 05, 2026 at 11:59 PM

Which information system facilitates the sharing of data between the human resources and purchasing department in the same corporation?

Suggested Answer: C

Definition of ERP Systems:

ERP systems facilitate data sharing and process integration across multiple departments within an organization, such as HR and purchasing.

These systems improve coordination and decision-making by maintaining a single source of truth.

Example of ERP Usage:

If the HR department needs to coordinate with the purchasing team for new employee resources, ERP ensures both have access to relevant information like budgets and procurement requirements.

Incorrect Options Analysis:

A . Executive Support (ES): Caters to strategic decision-making, not operational collaboration.

B . Geographic Information System (GIS): Deals with spatial and geographical data, not departmental coordination.

D . Customer Relationship Management (CRM): Manages customer interactions, not internal department processes.

and Documents of Information Technology Management:

'ERP for Organizational Efficiency' (Forrester Research).

ITIL 4 Foundation: Enterprise Systems Overview (Axelos).

I keep mixing up the definitions, but I think GIS is more about mapping and location data, not really for HR and purchasing.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about CRM being more focused on customer data, so it probably isn't the right choice.
