White Paper Describes 10 Strategies for Choosing a Midmarket ERP Solution TMCnet Contributor For a midsized company, finding the right Enterprise Resource Planning or “ERP” solutions, can be a long process. With big-name vendors like Oracle, Microsoft (News - Alert) and SAP now barreling down on smaller companies contemplating an ERP move, the competition and decision making has become tougher as well.
According to a Tippit sponsored white paper, “10 Strategies for Choosing a Midmarket ERP Solution,” it is more important than ever for customers to follow 10 specific strategies when selecting a mid-sized ERP solution and includes tips for getting the best ERP deals and advice on how to roll solutions. The first key tip is to let smaller ERP vendors know customers are watching the big guns and that a company will not settle for second best.
Also, the white paper notes, that for an SMB, it makes sense to take the CRM plunge in tandem with an ERP investment.
In addition, a look at ERP vendors touting open source solutions that make use of Linux operating systems and other open source software is suggested.
