Currently there is a wide variety of Enterprise resource planning software packages to chose from, all offering different advantages and platforms. There are general ERP software products that can be used by any kind of business and run from the desktop, and then there more specific packages that are geared towards specialist companies such as accountants, builders, real estate agencies, or supermarkets.

Many companies would be fine with using a generic ERP software package unless they have a specialist niche that is covered by a specific type of ERP. Whatever the exact specifications any business is seeking from a ERP system there are attributes and features they should give consideration for when deciding, which software product to purchase.

The attribute of adaptability is something that is really useful when picking an ERP software package to use in running a business. Adaptable packages are good for businesses that organizational structure or operational functions are not the same as an average company. This may include companies that offer a wide variety of services, or sell a very wide selection of different products.

It is best to look at disk space and performance when it comes to buying ERP software from any provider, the more resources a package offer the more use it will be, especially for the larger companies.The more specialist a business is, the more its management should consider going for specialist software packages as generic ones may be suitable for their exact needs.

When it comes to ERP, you should be seriously considering an ERP system that has the capacity to be used with cloud computing like that which CAFM provides, older packages linked to desktop installation often cause logistical problems as the access becomes stunted, with everything being in the cloud you can access it anywhere anytime.
