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 70’s and 80’s, 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 1990’s, 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 company’s 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 doesn’t 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 FeaturesMost 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 VendorsYou have many options when choosing a ERP software vendor. To make it a bit easier, we’ve featured some of the leading ERP solutions in this paper. Review these vendors, and you’ll be well on the way to finding the right ERP software for your business.

Openbravo Key FeaturesMaster Data Management: The correct management of the master data of the company (products, customers, vendors, etc.) is a fundamental aspect for guaranteeing the coherence and tracking of processes. Maintaining exclusive coding, avoiding duplications, and sharing the relevant information among all areas of the company is one of the challenges faced today by all types and sizes of organizations.

Procurement Management: Openbravo’s procurement module puts companies in control of their supply chain, with streamlined functionality to minimize acquisition costs and optimize collaboration with trading partners. The module is fully integrated with financial management & accounting and warehousing.

Warehouse Management: The warehouse management functionality built into Openbravo ERP keeps inventory in the organization up-to-date and correctly valued. The possibility of defining the warehouse structure of the organization to unit level (storage bins) facilitates the exact localization of stock at any time. Additionally, the capacity for managing product lots and the possibility of using serial numbers assure compliance with the tracking requirements imposed by the majority of industries.

Project and Service Management: This functionality is orientated towards companies whose activities are based on the delivery of projects and services. Openbravo ERP also manages budgets, phases, tasks, expenses and purchases related with each individual project. These projects may be related to monitoring construction projects or even sending out sales and purchase related requests. The service component

About Openbravopermits companies to define services and resources and to control all activities. These activities may or may not be billable, for internal or external customers, and can be monitored for incurred expenses at a detailed level.

Production Management: Production and plant management functions in Openbravo ERP allow for a complete shaping of the productive structure of each organization (sections, cost centers and work centers), as well as the relevant data for production including production plans (operation sequences), and items used to produce other products. Currently, the functionality provided by Openbravo ERP is orientated towards covering the usual necessities of a discrete production environment: production planning and requests related to procurement using MRP; creation of manufacturing orders and job reports (notification of times and consumption); cost calculations for production; notification of job incidents; and creation of maintenance reports.

Sales and CRM: Openbravo ERP’s Sales Management module is expressly designed with the objective of maximum flexibility and adaptability in its execution, which is needed in any commercial process. It is possible to link documents (orders, shipments, invoices) in any order that the company requires or even disregard any one of these that is not necessary. All this is achieved without sacrificing the coherence and integrity of information while also guaranteeing the tracking of processes. Integration with order capture systems by PDAs extend the value of the solution beyond the physical limits of the particular company.

Financial Management and Accounting: Financial management and accounting functionalities are designed to minimize manual data input on behalf of the user, thereby freeing them from tedious, routine tasks and allowing greater focus on other, more value-added tasks. This increase in productivity is due to the financial department acting as collector of all the relevant actions generated from the other management departments. This occurs in such a way that these actions are automatically reflected in general accounting, in accounts receivable and accounts payable as soon as they are produced.

Business Intelligence: The Business Intelligence component of Openbravo ERP, integrated into the management system, will help companies monitor the state of the company, providing decision makers with the relevant information. The predefined balanced scorecard allows companies to verify, through monitoring of a series of key indicators, if the defined strategy is being correctly implemented in the organization.

uNiT4 Business Software Key FeaturesAgresso Business World offers a fully integrated Core Financial/ERP system specifically designed for organizations (service oriented/public sector/higher education) that require a flexible solution which adapts to ongoing, rapid business change.

Agresso is unique in the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) industry for its primary strength, post-implementation agility, or the ability to make changes to the ERP system AFTER it has been implemented.

Almost all major ERP software solution vendors offer limitless flexibility PRIOR to implementation. But once their systems are in place, customers are locked into the system configuration that reflects their requirements at the moment of go live. Any significant change to the configuration typically requires expensive IT or external consultant resources.

Agresso is ideal for organization facing common business environment challenges including:

Financial management changeReorganization & RestructuringMergers & Acquisitions

About Pronto SoftwareFor over �0 years, Pronto Software has been working closely with their clients to create business software that helps them get the absolute best out of their business. Pronto Software’s vision has always been to deliver tools that allow you to excel and prosper in whichever field you are in – from mining to manufacturing, distribution to retail and services. In fact, their software includes functionality based on years of listening to feedback from customers just like you.

This makes Pronto Software a little bit unique. They’re aware that their industry is pretty overwhelming. It’s full of complex jargon, loads of statistics and figures, unlikely situations and best practice scenarios. It’s a world of one-size-fits-all products.

Pronto Software likes to think they’re a little more human than that. So, instead of ‘best practice’, they like to practice listening. Your business is their business, so they’ll make sure that, rather than offering you anything off the shelf, they’ll listen to exactly what it is you need. By understanding where you are, they can understand where they can take you.

Next, they adapt what they already have to make sure it fits your business perfectly. They know that the best solutions are the product of revisions and improvements, fine-tuning and perfecting. That’s why Pronto Software’s support services are always on hand to field questions and spot opportunities. To back them up, they’ve also built up an online knowledge base, with contributions from staff, industry experts, and Pronto Xi customers.

Finally, Pronto Software reveals a solution that they know will help you take your business to the next level. Their easy-to-use software, fully integrated with IBM Cognos business intelligence technology, allows you to monitor and control every aspect of your business, from top floor to shop floor. You’ll improve productivity, customer service, and inventory accuracy. You’ll keep track of what’s making you money, and where the opportunities lie. So, welcome to Pronto. They hope it’s the beginning of yet another great relationship.

Rising Star


Apptricity was founded in 1999 to explore the new technology direction of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) for large organizations. The promise of using SOA for application development was that it could leverage the customer’s existing IT environment and be up and running quickly, in a matter of weeks rather than months.

Apptricity is a customer-service oriented ERP and asset management company. Today, its customers include Fortune �00 enterprises, mid-size organizations and U.S. government entities. They each value the company’s commitment to integrity in its applications and its dedication to their satisfaction. Apptricity is headquartered in Irving, Texas and has offices in Washington, DC and Orange County, California. Apptricity is privately owned.

Appricity Product Key FeaturesApptricity solutions, delivered on-premise or SaaS, are built on a unified platform with the client organization’s future in mind. Apptricity solutions minimize or eliminate costs that relate to training, upgrading, implementing and scaling. The solution’s accomplishments include:

• Creating mass configuration to accommodate tens of thousands of users with no impact on future upgrade costs• Scaling hundreds of thousands of users for one company on several solutions across multiple continents• Rapidly deploying high transaction, centralized processing that connects thousands of locations to the headquarters• Delivering highly-secure solutions across multiple countries that interface with dozens of legacy applications

Apptricity’s solutions are designed to scale according to the customer’s organization’s requirements, large or small. Whether a customer is looking to deploy on-premise or SaaS, Apptricity can meet their needs with the resources to have it up and running in 12 weeks or less.

About Apptricity Rising Star


Apptricity Product HighlightsApptricity solutions deliver greater business performance by streamlining processes, eliminating information silos, and creating greater exchange of information throughout an enterprise. By leveraging common components and open standards, SOA integration can also extend the life of a current IT investment.

Apptricity’s SOA framework makes use of application suites that allow the customer’s enterprise to build business-specific solutions. The technology is platform- and database-agnostic, and can be easily conformed to an organization’s processes.

This approach allows the user to seamlessly add new modules and technologies as they need them, streamlining processes without risking incompatibility with current infrastructure.

Integration: Apptricity’s unique ERP integration engine leverages XML to streamline and enhance interface connectivity and ERP implementations. Regardless of the system, the Apptricity Integration Engine integrates multiple applications and platforms, giving the customer a single, seamless enterprise solution.

Configuration: Apptricity’s innovative technology allows users to configure their solutions to fit their organization’s needs. This capability allows Apptricity applications to meet 100% of organizational look and feel, which ultimately delivers a user-friendly solution with greater adoption and a higher return on investment.

All changes are maintained externally to the core application. When Apptricity issues a new release, the new version automatically upgrades the systems and keeps existing configurations intact. This means a significantly lower cost of ownership over the lifecycle of the application. Additionally, users have the ability to add and name new data fields, modify business rule logic, and even change calculations.



Supported Platforms: Apptricity applications operate on any web server, app server, data source, browser, operating system, third party software or mobile device.Apptricity’s solutions are platform agnostic, and are supported on any hardware/software configuration.

If a customer can access the Internet, they can run an Apptricity solution in the cloud without the need for an application installation on a computer.

Visual Workflow: One of the latest features is the ability to visually create business rules, workflow and messaging. This capability allows a user to dictate how to navigate a transaction or image, based on specific rules, queries or policies the user selects. Visual Workflow can be used for all types of transactions. The easy-to-use interface is intuitive and provides great flexibility for customers who have different enterprise workflow criteria for financial, workforce or supply chain automation needs.

Apptricity ERP ModulesTo speed integration, Apptricity maintains an interface repository of common enterprise resource planning and payroll system applications like SAP, Oracle, PeopleSoft, GEAC, Lawson, Epicor, Great Plains, ADP, and more.
