Because of the ERP implementation, it was possible to make quick decisions, reduce costs, ensure transparency and accountability in the power sector, he said, adding that the review of the performance, free exchange of information, and ensuring the security of information was its obvious result.
He noted that the ERP has been successfully implemented for the first time in the power sector at the government level which will encourage other sectors to follow the path.
