Tip - What is the Difference between BPM and ERP?

The difference between Business Process Management (BPM) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) can be quite fuzzy. I’ll start with my understanding: BPM is a practice while ERP is one of the many technologies that can support that practice. With that being said, BPM can be achieved with or without technology though having a Business Process Management System (BPMS) and/or an ERP can enhance your ability to do BPM.
