Why do I think SAP is the most awesome ERP system, not one of them?

Why do I think SAP is the best ERP system in the world, not one of them? Played in Qad, TipTop, UF and other products, deeply feel that sap is expensive reasonable!

A good ERP system, not only to maximize the management and business processes to adapt to the enterprise, in the technology can also be rapid deployment and challenges. And for users, easy to use and logical, experience good, convenient control is able to seize the needs of users point. Unfortunately, looking at so many ERP systems in the world, there is not much that can really be considered for users and have their own core competencies.

I think a good ERP system, not only a set of software, but also a management idea. Select ERP, to consider from the following aspects:

First, business model

Before the selection of ERP, the first enterprise to understand what they need to achieve what function, management needs is what. Unfortunately, few businesses can understand this. ERP is not to choose the market share high, nor choose advertising, but really choose the right system for the enterprise. For example, the company is a repetitive manufacturing system, if the choice of system does not support this scheme, although the latter can be achieved through the development of custom, but after all, the development of large, excessive modification of the original system of standard logic, will cause over two times the disaster of development. Therefore, enterprises must be very clear about their real needs before choosing ERP.

Before the company in the selection, UF company has relied on its own in the domestic market share the largest and has been with our company to advertise. In fact, UF products in the manufacturing of the enterprise's share and not as much as other products, so this is to be treated differently. Before is because UF's product does not support the repetitive production pattern to be shot off,

Second, the database

Basically, the world's most commonly used database is Oracle and MSSQL, the industry consensus on the basic medium and large applications using Oracle, small and medium-sized generally using MSSQL. ERP system in the enterprise application is the most important, the amount of data will be increasing year-on-year, the reliability of stability requirements are very high. Therefore, it is necessary to use Oracle. Those systems that can only support MSSQL can really be discarded. Do not hold a fluke in the mind that the current MSSQL is sufficient, ERP system is a long-term project, at least to 10 years of vision to see it. UF U9 only supports the MSSQL system, and SAP is supported by the mainstream database.

c/S and C/s

b/S and C/s which is inferior to Baidu on many, each has its advantages and shortcomings. If any ERP vendors tout that their products are based on the B/S model, so there is an advantage to say that is absolutely bluff people. In fact, b/s nothing bad, but because you are B/s mode, the client can only restrict the use of IE browser that is absolutely wrong. And if because you are the C/S mode, the client can only be used on the Windows system that is also difficult to accept. It must be clear that the terminal cross-platform and diversification must be taken into account.

Iv. Cross-platform

If the service side of an ERP system can only be installed on Windows Server and the client can only be used on Windows systems, then do not hesitate to ignore it. Enterprise application is very complex, the client can not only consider the win system, coupled with the use of VPN, the future staff to use the ERP at home is also very normal things. So if ERP can not cross the platform, basically can explain this is a set of garbage ERP. I know the UF system is basically based on windows, other such as LINUX,OSX system is not available. and SAP has the corresponding platform of the client software, the server also has a variety of systems to choose from.

V. Development of Technology

ERP development technology accounted for the score is very heavy, because the implementation process and on-line after the enterprise ERP system has been constantly developing and updating, so technology in the process is very important. The following is only a description of the system I know:

SAP:SAP's development platform is actually on the client side, a set of clients with a size of hundreds of trillion, which contains basically all the operations and development. Technology development is just a module inside, technical personnel do not need to install additional development tools, and do not need to upload and download code files, because the SAP code is integrated in the system, as long as the run SE38 can be in the development, whether it is debug, Development screen, report query, document printing, The Code performance analysis and so on all are in here, the very aspect is simple. Never have to go to the command, never to remember the directory, compile and debug are visual interface, click the mouse can be, simple and fast and efficient! Install the client, create a new login address and port to quickly connect to the system.

TipTop: An additional set of development tools is required to download the code files from the server to the local editor and then upload them before switching to another tool to compile and run. If you want to debug, it is expected to knock command, as if to operate under Linux, the requirements of developers are very high. and the program performance analysis is not to talk about, the system does not have such a function. So, compared with SAP, the system is very clumsy and requires a lot of tools to work with. What's more scary is that installing the client also requires the native installation of IIS, which is absolutely inconceivable. Although the client plugin can be installed through IE browser, it is still tied to the Windows system.
