Software supported by the database
Basically, all the ERP products require back-end database support. Therefore, the general purchase ERP software must include the cost of two parts, one ERP software product itself, there is a background database costs.

But now a lot of database software companies offer free versions of the database such as ORACLE provides a free version of XE. The free version of the functionality there is no difference, only in the data capacity and so be limited, however, for SMEs, this limitation will not give them much trouble. Relative to buying software, you need large sums of expenditure.

Therefore, the choice of ERP, it is best to know first went on the market now that is what free (even if not free, but also opt for a less expensive database), the performance has a good database software, the general use of the XE version of the ORACLE can, and then go to study in the ERP product to see if they support this type of database.

Security and stability
Security and stability, is to examine ERP products is another important criterion. A product or even one of the functions, from design development to final maturity, there is a process. Enterprises need to select is a relatively mature product, which are more related functions are perfect, so, in the use of the process, as much as possible in order to reduce trouble.

A business according to the instructions required to go inside the book, check it several times, no errors were found, the other side the implementation of the consultants also tested several times, can not find the error. Finally to the daemon testers, it was found, is a procedural one BUG.

Therefore, the enterprises in the selection must pay attention to this issue. Typical company, the program found that BUG will be given timely updates. However, some companies will BUG as a secondary procedure to deal with the demand to collect the additional development costs. Enterprises in this regard, we should note that the best solution is indicated in the contract.
