Is your company ready for an ERP system? ERPs are notoriously risky. Main advantages would be linking IT and business processes together, extensive documentation of said processes, and significant potential for company growth into the future. Main disadvantages would be time, cost, and non-acceptance by users.
Might be overkill for what you are looking to do in the short-term. But something to consider long-term.
(Almost) anything technical you need to know can be learned on the job, provided you have a basic foundation of knowledge.
Whatever it is you decide to do, be passionate about it. If you enjoying writing scripts, tell them why and what you've done. I enjoyed data analysis, and was able to talk in great detail about an independent project I did for a data mining course. The passion will show when you talk with potential employers / grad schools / other opportunities.
