No unauthorized reproduction without the author’s written consent. All references to this publication must cite Panorama Consulting Solutions as the author and include a link to the original report at http://Panorama-Consulting.com/resource-center/. Introduction and Summary Panorama Consulting Solutions, an independent and vendor-neutral enterprise resource planning (ERP) consulting firm, developed the 2011 ERP Report: Clash of the Titans to compare the three Tier I “titans” of the ERP industry. Although past issues of the report have focused exclusively on SAP and Oracle, it has been newly expanded this year to include the Microsoft family of ERP solutions. The report is based on surveys of more than 1800 respondents that have either selected or implemented ERP solutions over the last six years. The survey was open to all participants via our website at www.Panorama-Consulting.com. Panorama Consulting Solutions uses a number of quantitative analyses to compare leading ERP software vendors. The 2011 ERP Report: Clash of the Titans provides findings on detailed project factors such as implementation costs, durations, and payback periods summarized by vendor. Also included in this report are metrics regarding selection trends, satisfaction and benefits realization. SAP and Oracle, the two software giants in the ERP market, have competed with each other ever since Oracle vigorously expanded its share in the software applications market two decades ago. Since then, both ERP vendors have demonstrated their ability to adapt to the dynamic economy and changing needs of customers.

    THE ERP INTEGRATION HANDBOOK Key integration considerations for wholesale distributors looking to connect their ERP systems with third party software solutions. TABLE OF CONTENTS: Introduction: Supplementing ERP Systems with Best-of Breed Solutions 2 SAP 3 Oracle 7 Microsoft Dynamics 11 Sage 15 NetSuite 19 A Note on Integrations for QuickBooks & Xero 24 Conclusion 25 | The ERP Integration Handbook | www.handshake.com 1 Ten years ago, if any wholesale INTRODUCTION: distributor were asked, “What technology are you running your SUPPLEMENTING business on?” they would almost certainly have given the name of ERP SYSTEMS WITH their Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, and the BEST-OF-BREED conversation would have ended there. But while ERP systems SOLUTIONS have long been touted as “all in one” solutions, companies are increasingly beginning to think about how new classes of software can impact their operations––and profits. Indeed, with the incredibly wide range of both cloud and on-premise software solutions available to companies today, the enterprise technology landscape is not as clear-cut as it was years ago. Wholesale distributors are learning how they can supplement existing legacy systems with third party best-of-breed Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions like B2B eCommerce platforms, mobile sales order management software, inventory management software, and more. These purpose-built solutions are allowing countless businesses to reduce costs and take advantage of shorter implementation cycles and quicker returns on investment. Now the challenge lies in integrating best-of-breed solutions with ERP systems to maximize ROI across all platforms. While ERP software ecosystems can be extremely complex, gaining an understanding of the options and approaches available for integration is the first step towards a solid integration strategy.
