Cost-effective ERP is preferred
ERP purchase price is a critical factor. A few years ago a large-scale ERP construction projects in the hundreds of thousands of millions construction period varies from a year or so, as many as 3 or 4 years, which is the most confusing user units: bought, and fear of the implementation cycle is too long, seriously affect the normal business operation, not to invest, afraid to lose a business opportunity to enhance the comprehensive competitiveness, so high prices have been a major constraining factor in mass adoption of ERP.

In recent years, as domestic ERP market suddenly situation sudden change, one after another price war intensified, ERP rapid price diving, or even playing "free" banner, the ERP on the pull down from the high altar, thus giving rise to a field ERP software, the popularization of the national crisis, so that a large number of ERP into the national enterprise, small and medium enterprises, benefiting end.

Digital India announced that it will reach 10 million or less ERP Godrej release of small business management software - KIS, stressed the importance of small business market, UF will be the lowest of a low-end ERP products dropped by 2 million, it has always been superior to the masses plate from the high-end ERP market, SAP is also blow to low-cost brand, burst through the channels, low-cost 68,000 rupees.

However, faced with "like selling cabbage selling ERP" the wave, many users can not help but confusing is bowed under the attractive low price, or continue to pursue high-quality "poor quality"? We first right ERP product price formation analysis.

ERP standard products are divided into high-end ERP software, ERP software, mid-, low-end ERP software, ERP software, and quasi-three series. Experts said that small and micro-enterprise applications for the ERP, a reasonable target price should not be less than 5 million, for the mid-SME ERP, a set of products in general should be less than 500,000 rupees; while for the medium and large enterprise ERP product in the 80-100 million a year.
