In the ERP Update: When to choose what ERP?

Since we started The ERP Update this past May, I’ve coordinated features with no less than six major ERP developers, and I’ve also written several articles that compared and contrasted the various ERPs we’ve covered. My goal has been to let you decide from the information we’ve provided which solution(s) might be the best for you, or your clients. Or at least the one(s) you should examine more closely.


But each time I prepare a comparison I always get feedback or emails from readers saying things like, “Good comparison, but which one should I pick?”

So, in this week's edition of The ERP Update I give you a synopsis of the ERP(s) you should consider in your further exploration, based on what you really need, what you can afford, and what you are willing to accommodate. Please take each of my 'consider' options (above)for what they are intended to be. They are NOT "do or don't" formal recommendations, nor are they endorsements. They are summaries of what stands out to me when I look at each of these offerings, and how I view each of the ERPs' primary strengths when it comes to helping your clients with making at least a first choice for consideration.
