About ERP Software

Enterprise resource planning (ERP) is not a new concept. It was introduced more than 40 years ago, when the first ERP system was created to improve inventory control and management at manufacturing firms. Throughout the 70s and 80s, as the number of companies deploying ERP increased, its scope expanded quite a bit to include various production and materials management functions, although it was designed primarily for use in manufacturing plants. In the 1990s, vendors came to realize that other types of business could benefit from ERP, and that in order for a business to achieve true organizational efficiency, it needed to link all its internal business processes in a cohesive and coordinated way. As a result, ERP was transformed into a broad-reaching environment that encompassed all activities across the back office of a company. What is ERP? An ERP system combines methodologies with software and hardware components to integrate numerous critical back-office functions across a company. Made up of a series of modules, or applications that are seamlessly linked together through a common database, an ERP system enables various departments or operating units such as Accounting and Finance, Human Resources, Production, and Fulfillment and Distribution to coordinate activities, share information, and collaborate. Key Benefits for Your Company ERP systems are designed to enhance all aspects of key operations across a companys entire back-office from planning through execution, management, and control. They accomplish this by taking processes and functions that were previously disparate and disjointed, and seamlessly integrating and coordinating them. As a result, an ERP system can: * Facilitate more efficient completion of day-to-day tasks. * Reduce the redundant and overlapping activities that waste time and money by standardizing core procedures. * Eliminate data silos by creating a single, centralized repository of timely, accurate business data. * Enable more effective resource allocation and management. Reduce overhead costs.

About ERP Software

* Enhance strategic planning by allowing for more accurate assessment of needs, and enabling measurement of goals versus outcomes. Does My Company Need ERP? Companies of all types and sizes can benefit from an ERP implementation. Even if business processes and related workflows are relatively smooth across the business, ERP can deliver even greater productivity and cost efficiency. However, the companies who need ERP the most are those whose most critical business procedures are so fragmented and broken that they hinder growth and profitability. For these firms, ERP can help create a business process management mindset, allowing them to define best practices, formalize activities, and streamline cross-departmental functions. Additionally, ERP is designed to help companies who have trouble achieving one version of the truth. For example, in many firms, revenue data maintained by the finance department doesnt always match the numbers generated by the sales organization. These disparities can make it difficult to assess financial status and profitability, and in the case of public companies, report results to investors. ERP systems consolidate and centralize all back-office information. Each transaction conducted by a department will be handled, recorded, and managed by a single system. In this way, the most frequent causes of conflicting information -- such as a lack of integration across departmental applications -- are eliminated. Common ERP Features Most ERP suites contain a broad range of modules to enhance a variety of back-office functions, including: * Manufacturing includes features for project and process management, engineering, scheduling, capacity management, engineering, material requirements planning, and quality management. * Supply Chain Management includes capabilities to support order entry, purchasing and procurement, inventory control, planning, goods inspection, and claims processing. * Financial Management includes functionality such as general ledger, cash management, accounts payable and receivable, and fixed asset management.
About ERP Software

* Project Management includes features for costing, billing/invoicing, time and expense management, and activity monitoring. * Human Capital Management includes capabilities to support hiring and staffing, payroll, training, time and attendance tracking, and benefits administration. Many ERP environments leverage a data warehouse or operational data store for reporting purposes; this limits the impact of data analysis on the transactional database and prevents the performance slow-downs that report generation can impose on the production environment. What to Look for When Choosing an ERP Solution Big bang ERP implementations come with quite a bit of risk. Few businesses have the resources to handle an all-at-once deployment. Therefore, it is critical to choose an ERP vendor with a flexible and modular platform, so it can be rolled-out in phases. Additionally, since many ERP modules often replacing existing business applications, be sure to select a solution that includes comprehensive data migration tools. This will help move data from old applications to new ones in the most efficient and effective fashion. Finally, look for a single-source provider who has designed and developed each module in-house. Choosing a vendor who has created a complete ERP suite by bolting together various solutions such as those developed by OEM partners or obtained through acquisition of smaller ERP companies can lead to integration and performance issues. Top ERP Software Vendors You have many options when choosing a ERP software vendor. To make it a bit easier, weve featured some of the leading ERP solutions in this paper. Review these vendors, and youll be well on the way to finding the right ERP software for your business.

About Shoptech Software

Greg Ehemann and Rich Ehemann, the founding partners - and the two Es - of the E2 Shop System, have been around job shops their entire lives. While working in a job shop in the 1980s, they realized the most important foundation of a make-to-order manufacturer is to determine if you are making or losing money on a job by job basis. Determining profitability based on accounting at the end of the month doesnt help develop a true strategy to grow a business. They also experienced firsthand the need to better coordinate most of the other facets of running a job shop: estimating, scheduling, collecting time from the shop floor, purchasing, shipping, and even accounting. Out of their experience with shops and their passion for computers, came a software product and a company that was built from the ground up, a real American success story. Their passion is still evident today as the E2 Shop System continues to be the most comprehensive ERP package on the market today, and while building Shoptech Software into a company that now has thousands of customers and offices across North America. Along the way, Shoptech has forged strategic alliances with business partners, garnered recognition in business and shop trade magazines, and gained a reputation as consistently being on the forefront of technological innovations to best serve the many job shop markets. Theyre truly the authority on shop floor control. The executive team and the founding partners of the E2 Shop System take great pride in the companys roots in the job shop industry. Said one customer, Theyve still got chips in the shoes, from the days of running machines. The company has never lost its vision of helping job shops run more smoothly, more productively, more profitably. As Shoptech approaches a quarter century of servicing job shops and make-to-order manufacturers, customer needs still drive the success and continued growth of the company. All research and development, training, service and support is focused on how to best serve job shops large and small. Their specialization and commitment to building their business and yours with high quality people, products and service are testament to their ongoing goal of strengthening our reputation as North Americas leading provider of shop management systems. Ask their customers. Theyll tell you Shoptech walks the walk, and theyve got the chips in their shoes to prove it.

About uNiT4
uNiT4 Technology uNiT4 Business Softwares unique Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution sits atop what leading IT analysts describe as perhaps the most unique and agility-focused IT architecture ever built. VITA means living and the VITA architecture is just that a living, agile platform ideally suited for dynamic organizations. UNIT4 Business Softwares VITA architecture was designed from the ground up with just as much focus on getting data out of as getting data into a data warehouse. Our development priorities were primarily concerned with how people would use the data. Of course all ERP systems offer user-focused features but only VITA offers a fundamentally user-focused architecture. Every technical decision was made in the context of ultimate flexibility so users could continually change the system and change it back again without disruption or destabilizing their system. UNIT4 Business Software used a generic data model rather than a specific data model that would have been locked in and static. Fail-safe mechanisms were built-in to ensure that all changes track back to the same data model. It is the best of both worlds for rapidly changing organizations functional agility and system integrity. Coda Financials was designed to serve as a financial information backbone for companies in fast-changing and mixed application environments. This is made possible by our Link architecture. Link takes Coda Financials way beyond what you can achieve with ordinary accounting systems. The architecture provides real-time visibility and control across all the people, processes and systems related to the financial information in your organization. This enables your financial software to take on a much more strategic role in managing your business. It also helps you adapt to constant business changes and mitigates the potential impact that change can have on your reports, processes, controls and systems. Unlike the batch or multi-module ERP designs prevalent in most accounting systems today, Coda Financials broke new ground as the first single ledger or unified accounting

About uNiT4
system. This unique single system design eliminates time lags, sub-ledgers, data fragmentation, reconciling and unnecessary integration between subsystems. In contrast to batch or waterfall styled ERP systems, it ensures that your business data is consistent, always in balance, and always up to date. Changes can efficiently be made in ONE area without: losing control, creating reporting problems or increasing the risk of noncompliance. This is because data is held within one financial model in one accounting application not in multiple sub-modules and sub-systems. The CODA Link architecture provides exceptional ways to capture, store, and maintain financial data. In contrast to the typical Code Block approach found in most accounting systems, Coda Financials provides a multidimensional financial model, which is far superior to the typical chart of accounts structures found in the General Ledger modules of ERP systems. For example, the CODA chart of accounts offers unparalleled flexibility to measure profitability, accommodating different account coding schemes within the same company.

Rising Star
Happen Business, an Australian-based company, was established in 2001 to address the growing need in the small to medium business market for a comprehensive accounting and business workflow software solution.

Workflow Productivity reporting, Live Management Information, Actual vs. Billable Labor Tracking, Process Start/Stop Triggers, high level definable security. Happen Business Product Highlights Jim2 Business Engine adopts a business perspective on workflow processes, managing, tracking and controlling the inputs that drive the financial result. Jim2 Business Engine then also goes on to producing a set of financial records. Traditionally, the use of ERP was restricted to large enterprises, as the massive investment required to purchase the software was too large for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs). Missing out on the benefits of the latest technologies, such as ERP, placed SMBs at a large disadvantage in the competitive global market. Since the early 1990s, ERP has helped businesses drive down costs and operate more efficiently. It has helped companies manage their data more effectively, and has also streamlined many business processes, including quoting, planning, manufacturing, services, sales and marketing. It also includes activities like stock control, order tracking, customer service, finance and staff. With proper implementation of these functions through ERP small businesses can do away with laborious and time-consuming processes enabling them to broaden their horizons and enter the market more aggressively. Jim2 Business Engine puts the power of high-end ERP software into the hands of small to medium business owners, giving them a level playing field on which to compete with much larger enterprises. Jim2 is affordable for all small and medium sized businesses in addition to offering a fast return on investment, thereby giving it a unique place in the ERP/Accounting arena. Happen Business Technology Jim2 Business Engine is a flexible and robust business management system that is built to meet business needs from day one, while allowing your business to grow to the next level. Jim2 is fully-maintained, regularly updated business management software that includes professional implementation, rigorous training, and comprehensive support.
