3rd Party Functionality Data on ERP
This white paper explains why overly relying on 3rd Party ERP functionality data undermines the process of making informed business software decisions. If any part of your selection process depends on bulk, unverified functionality data, this paper will offer valuable insights.
At EAI-SoftSelect, we once relied on ERP functionality data maintained in-house, which was often based on unverified claims from vendors. However, as outlined in this paper, this method became increasingly problematic, and by 2002, we abandoned it entirely. Over the years, we've further validated that such a dependence on 3rd Party functionality data failed to provide the clarity and depth needed to identify the ERP application and vendor most broadly suitable for selection.
The core message of this white paper is simple: 3rd Party functionality claims should not be trusted. Instead, your selection team must directly test the candidate ERP system for the specific functional objectives that are important to your organization—while avoiding routine capabilities expected of any ERP solution in its class.

Long term ERP license costs were initially very difficult to calculate. Working with EAI-SoftSelect we were able to insist on a predicable ERP license fee approach and achieve much lower initial and ongoing license fee costs.
