The purpose of research is to inform action. It is important to examine information from a variety of sources before making an investment of time and money in your first (or a replacement) ERP system. You want to be sure you’re making the right choice the first time.
Use this page to discover and evaluate potential solutions for your business. Identify software that can improve efficiency and reduce costs. Learn more about the cloud and cloud software then determine the total cost of ownership (TCO) and return on investment (ROI) of your choices.
And finally, before you purchase, arrange a demo of the software you think will work best for your business.
But first, get “The Cost of Doing Nothing” white paper.
When adding ERP, companies typically follow a series of steps before their new system is up and running:
- Research – Identify needs and potential solutions
- Evaluation – Compare features and perform ROI analysis
- Selection – Choose the best fit
- Implementation – Go live
No matter where you are in this process, you can access a customized ERP knowledgebase here and ensure you have the right information so that you are best able to make the right decision.
When choosing a new ERP system, it’s important to take a look around and see what your options are.
With the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Cloud Core Financial Management Suites, you can get a non-biased, third-party view of the ERP competitive landscape and can educate yourself on the solutions available and how they compare and might fit your requirements.
You will get a description of each solution and see how they rank on Ability to Execute and Completeness of Vision.
In a crowded market there are many options. Pick the one that’s right for you.
Before moving forward with an ERP purchase, you need to know how much your system will really cost you and identify when you will break even on your investment.

According to the National Institute of Standards (NIST), cloud computing is “a model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction.”
While accurate, that definition is broad and somewhat confusing.
Let’s keep it simple. Learn what the cloud means for you. Read the FAQs on the cloud and learn more about multi-cloud computing.
In 2009, 80% of mid-market ERP implementations were installed on premises. But, that has changed drastically in recent years. Now experts are predicting 50% of small and medium-sized business (SMB) ERP deployments will be in the cloud.
For many SMBs, the move to the cloud is done for obvious business reasons—the first one being lower up-front costs.
Learn about more trends and benefits and why the cloud is the future.
Cloud ERP is an approach to enterprise resource planning (ERP) that makes use of cloud computing platforms and services to provide a business with more flexible business process transformation.
Cloud-based ERP benefits businesses by providing application scalability and reduced hardware costs. In addition, cloud computing technology makes it easier to deliver ERP through a software as a service (SaaS) model for businesses who want to acquire ERP and not have to manage hardware, software, and upgrades —while reducing up-front expenses.
What is Multi-Cloud Computing?
Multi-cloud computing refers to a system implementation that relies on multiple cloud computing solutions at the same time, allowing for a “best-of-breed” solution as the best cloud services from leading cloud vendors can be implemented in response to your exact, targeted business requirements.
