Product and Software Reviews, White Papers, News and Buying Advice


Your organization is growing, but not without some pains, and everyone agrees that you need to unify the entire enterprise into a state-of-the art information system that will not only support the growth, but ultimately make you more competitive.

Can you find software that already specializes in your particular business or industry? What are the minimum system requirements you’ll need to implement? Will you be able to integrate financial information, customer info, coordinate inventory and shipping among multiple locations simultaneously? That’s where the ERP Buying Guide comes in.

 How to Buy ERP Products  

You can use the powerful ERP Buying Guide search engine to find the products, vendors, reviews and white papers to support your purchasing decision. Depending on where your research leads, you can narrow your search down to particular topic directories like workflow management and e-commerce.  With it, you’ll be able to answer:

  • How do different software products and vendors handle data conversion from legacy systems, documentation, management and end-user training, production, and post-implementation support?
  • Will your ERP purchase be a single, standalone installation or is it bundled with additional software modules? Can this software be customized? Will your operating system support it?
  • Will the workflow management software be able to track drafts of budgets, sales reports, market presentations, and more document types through e-mail and network drives? Will it work your current office applications?
  • What solutions are available for integrating your business-to-consumer e-commerce applications with your ERP software, or will you need a middleware software product to make the connection?

When you need an advisor to help you navigate through all the enterprise resource planning choices, look to the ERP Buying Guide. Search above by selecting from our directory of hundreds of products, fully sortable by vendor, editor rating and user reviews. You’ll also find valuable white papers, editor buying advice and news, all in one location.
