Abstract: This paper investigates the significance of data science as an indispensable instrument for decision-making across multiple
domains. The study examines the history, concepts, methods, and applications of data science, as well as its impact on numerous
industries, such as artificial intelligence, manufacturing, fintech, government, Astro-informatics, e-commerce, education, and
biotechnology. Enterprise resource planning (ERP) software was first developed by SAP in the 1960s, with modern ERP systems
emerging in the 1990s, according to the research. This paper highlights the significance of data science in enhancing the functionality of
ERP systems, with artificial intelligence-based solutions such as those offered by MahaaAi and other firms automating human tasks,
chat-based ERP applications, and virtual assistant support to avoid human efforts. The conclusion of the study emphasizes the significant
benefits of data science in the ERP industry, including self-service analytics, predictions, and prescriptive analysis.
