A typical ERP system will use multiple components of computer software and hardware to achieve the integration. A key ingredient of most ERP systems is the use of a single, unified database to store data for the various system modules.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This <em>vertical<\/em> software can be more or less complex, but it has normally quite a lot of diferences with most of the <em>horizontal<\/em>  desktop applications.
