How To Choose Between Generic and Industry-Specific ERP Systems
You might have several reasons for needing a new ERP system, but with so many options, how do you make the right choice?
If you’re wondering whether a generic or an industry-specific solution is the best fit, or how to start the ERP selection process, you’re not alone. While most generic ERP solutions have modules to handle the non-manufacturing areas of your business, these systems often lack key functionality to handle manufacturing-specific process. When an ERP application has been developed specifically for your industry, it is better equipped to handle your manufacturing process with minimal or no customization. This means faster, more affordable implementation and maintenance. This article suggests ways to simplify your ERP selection process and points out the differences between industry-specific and generic ERP solutions.
