A mid-sized Indian manufacturer replaces separate stock, payroll and accounts software with one ERP system sharing a single central database. Which benefit most directly results from this design?

The key benefit is removal of duplicate data entry and a single, consistent version of data across departments, because all modules draw on one central database. It does not provide immunity from attacks, remove access control needs or exempt the company from audit.

  3. CGuaranteed immunity from cyber attacks because data is centralised
  4. DAutomatic exemption from statutory audit requirements

Explanation

A shared central database lets every module use the same data, so data is entered once and departments see consistent information. Centralisation does not remove the need for access controls and does not make the system immune to attacks. ERP also does not exempt a company from audit.
