Erp Software Packages

Writen by Jennifer Bailey

Enterprise resource planning systems integrate all the departments and functions across a company onto a single computer system that can serve all those departments? particular needs. Two types of ERP software packages are Open Source ERP software and Commercial ERP software.

Compiere and GNU Enterprise are Open Source ERP software. Compiere is suited for small and medium sized ERP enterprises, especially in the business and service sector. It is designed to follow changes as a business evolves. Customers and even production personnel can modify the information structure at any given point of time. Compiere provides multiple views of business information based on the detail of the actual transactions. This structure allows maximum flexibility and easy integration of supplemental external information.

Microsoft Dynamics from Microsoft Business Division is a business solutions software. Microsoft Dynamics AX is one of Microsoft?s flagship enterprise resource planning systems. Its primary strengths are ease of use and customization, internationalization and leading edge technology. Microsoft Dynamics NAV is an ERP computer program that Microsoft Corporation supplies. It is intended to assist with finance, manufacturing, customer relationship management, supply chains, analytics, and electronic commerce in Small and Medium-sized Enterprises.

Another commercial ERP software is mySAP ERP. It is produced by SAP AG and was formerly known as SAP R/3. This is a client/server-based application that uses a 3-tier model. A presentation or client layer, which interfaces with the user. A second layer which houses all the business-specific logic is the application layer, and the third layer is the database layer which records and stores all the information about the system, including transactional and configuration data.

The success of any ERP package depends on its ease of customization and the implementation process.
