At present, industrial and commercial registration of small and medium enterprises account for the vast majority of all registered enterprises, SMEs not only the economic structure of the hot spots is also worth noting the potential space for ERP applications. But the small and medium enterprises from the date of birth have its own on the chronic and characteristics, how to address these chronic and characteristics to implement ERP, avoid costly mistakes less and less wasting the money to improve the success rate?

After the growth of SMEs and start-up period of seed-stage, most companies already have a stable of products, projects. Into the growth stage, the original management model will no longer adapt to environmental changes both inside and outside enterprises, business-oriented means the urgent need for the use of information within the enterprise to create a more standardized decision-making, implementation and oversight of the governance structure of checks and balances.

Companies in the ERP project, the status quo itself must be clearly and explicitly the purpose of the introduction of ERP projects. In this way, selection and implementation can be targeted.

In general, choose a good implementation of ERP products are the key to success, the user must adhere to the self-oriented, ERP vendors will not be tender and pre-sales consultant’s perseverance of "brainwashing" to conduct faint head. To experience, the following two kinds of attitudes towards ERP implementation is a worthy lesson: to who pay for ERP products as "tools for ERP"; the current phase of implementation of the ERP is only the first step enterprises should be completed or the first two-step, not the best of that.

Enterprises must demand refine the definition of the problem, clear the implementation of the order of the priority tasks, the SMEs to define the needs principle is easy to use, practical, not the blind pursuit of "large." For example, for the urgent need to rationalize the management of enterprises, on the ERP's aim is to help straighten out the management of the power of ERP, using software functions to regulate the management; while for the urgent need to improve information management of enterprises, on the ERP's first objective is to achieve data harmonization, and through the ERP information technology and management concepts and urge enterprises to improve the management and improvement.
