Do you need an Accounting package or an ERP system?

Not so long ago the answer would be simple: a small business needs an accounting package and not an ERP System. Today, the size of a business does not necessarily drive the decision – a small business can today be just as complex as a large one, with outsourced manufacturing in China, a service centre in Manilla and customers that have thousands of outlets.

Buying business software can be a complicated and complex process. A typical Small or Medium sized businessdoes not have the resources to consider, review and evaluate over 30 choices available in ANZ.

ERP-Guidebooks is a new service built for SMB’s. Its core service is to understand an SMB’s needs for an ERP system, then match and introduce them to the right ERP vendors.

In this new Guidebook we help a company make the decision on what is the best course of action for their business. When looking at a business it’s important to ask three questions:

* What are your plans and when will you grow?

* What is your business?

* How many spreadsheets do you use to run your business?

There are seven Guidebooks to read and as each is downloaded, the user is asked some questions that help ERP-Guidebooks evaluate their needs. The website also provides a portal built around ERP issues, such as Cloud ERP and keeps users up to date on trends and breaking news. This includes videos, presentations and hot new products.

A typical user is a business person, rather than an IT person. They know a great deal about their business and industry but need more information on different types of ERP and trends like cloud computing.

ERP-Guidebooks is designed to be a free service to help users choose the right ERP. Rather than working through the 30 vendors/solutionsERP-Guidebooks will make a recommendation of up to three relevant leading vendors to consider on a short-list. We provide users the resources and information they need through the evaluation process.
