Comparison of ERP Product Applications: Domestic and Foreign ERP Systems 1. Comparison of ERP Product Applications in Foreign Small and Medium-sized Enterprises. The main foreign ERP system providers in China include SAP, Microsoft, Oracle, etc. These imported software companies mainly focus on taking on projects; their high prices and entry requirements are only affordable for large enterprises. SAP has introduced a low-end standard version of ERP software called SB ONE (which provides standard financial software along with a development platform, allowing agents to carry out custom development to meet production and other business needs), in order to compete with domestic generic software in the market. It has clear advantages in terms of comprehensive functionality and implementation capabilities; as for ERP systems (which cannot be called software), which one is the best? Simply put, what suits you is good. The business markets and management models abroad are different from those in China; therefore, they need to conduct thorough research when entering the domestic market. 2. Comparison of ERP product applications in China: There are few companies in China that specialize in developing ERP systems, with most focusing on selling branded financial software (BOM + inventory management + accounting). As a business user, it is essential to understand what an ERP system is. An ERP system is a set of standardized management systems established for businesses, and it includes management consulting and software. That is, the management processes designed by the implementation consultant for the enterprise are implemented through software. So, “30% is the software, 70% is implementation.” Implementing a production management system is a challenging and complex process that places high demands on implementation consultants. One must not only possess extensive and professional management knowledge and experience but also strong organizational skills. It is not an easy task to direct a company to adopt new management processes. Therefore, companies also need to have an appropriate budget before implementing the system. Otherwise, a lot of money in the amounts of ten thousand, twenty thousand, thirty thousand will be wasted.
