ERP Comparison Database – Purpose & Limitations
ERP Database Design Approach
- Main Assessment Criteria: ERP in the database are assessed and attributed based on the sizes (in revenue) and industry types of customers using the ERP product. These attributes don’t change rapidly, and are used for creating ERP lists for a particular user.
- ERP Not Listed: Some ERP software products are not included in this ERP list as they are or were:
- Not significantly suitable for use in manufacturing and/or distribution firms.
- Overall considered weak in market presence or significantly dated technology.
- Not effectively supported in the North American market.
- An add-on solution to a base ERP that attempts to make the base ERP suitable for a particular vertical industry.
- Cloud ERP Status: Most ERP in this ERP database can be offered remotely or 'in the Cloud' through various means. Accessing ERP remotely relieves the buyer from managing hardware and software, which is usually good. However, everything else about remote access ERP is largely designed to benefit the ERP seller unilaterally. At the top of the list are unbounded options to increase fees to customers who cannot change ERP without great cost and risk. Here's a link to our white paper on truly important details to understand when arranging access to Cloud ERP.
