Workflow Resource Planning is a new term coined by Charles Lim Chee Pang(the founder of Peliontech) in the year 2003, to name a new class of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Software. Conventional ERP software work in a data entry and processing model. Mr. Charles Lim changed that when he introduced the first WRP software that incorporates workflow functionality into its core design and released this new ERP called Radix ERP. Work flow functionality was not new. Lotus Notes was the pioneer of workflow systems until it went out of favor in early 2000. From the designs of Lotus Notes, Mr. Charles combined the idea into ERP systems and created Radix WRP, a new class of ERP system with workflow manageability.
