Question { 1275 }

Explain the different types of erp?

Answer

There are hundreds of ERP systems - I catagorize them into Generalist, systems like SAP and Oracle that serve a variety of industries with common customizations or modules specific to certain verticals. Industry Specific - are usually much smaller companies that create an ERP solution to work only in some specfic vertical like grocery distribution or retail tile. You can also list subcategories like discreet manufacturing ERP versus process manufacturing. There's Cloud based, hybrid SaaS, SaaS, - you could further categorize into old Client Server systems versus Web Access systems, mobile enabled. There's Tier One (Oracle SAP) Tier Two (Sage, Microsoft, Infor) Tier Three (open source, quickbooks with add ons, etc). You could categorize them into ERP sold by direct companies versus reseller channels. So there are hundreds on the market and dozens of ways to categorize by type.
