Question

Assignment Details
Prepare a report identifying the top-ranked ERP system where you work or for another organization with which you are familiar. Using this template, conduct research for these major ERP suppliers: Infor, Microsoft, Oracle, Sage, and SAP.
Based on your selected organization, assign a company priority level in the blue cells and a vendor capability level in the light gray cells and then the company's capabilities in the indicated cells.
The company priority level is an indication as to whether or not the company needs the feature: 

1: Feature not needed

2: Feature nice to have

3: Feature required

The vendor capability level is an indication as to whether or not the vendor can supply the feature:

1: Vendor cannot supply feature

2: Vendor can supply feature with extra cost

3: Vendor meets requirement

After completing the worksheet, prepare a 2-slide PowerPoint summary. On one slide, you will recommend the best ERP for your selected organization and base the recommendation on the best ERP system according to the priorities you assigned for each element, in addition to the research you conducted for each ERP provider. The second slide will include your references used for research.

Answer 1

There are many ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) systems I have worked with in various organizations. The ERP systems which I am familiar with are the following-

• SAP
• Oracle
• Microsoft
• Netsuite

A report identifying the top ranked ERP system which I am familiar with and where I have worked.

ERP	Market Share	Functional Score (out of 5)	Payback Period	Implementation Cost	Implementation Time
Oracle	13.90%	3.3	22.1 months	5.70%	25.3 months
Infor	7.40%	2.9	9.8 months	5.10%	30 months
SAP	20.30%	2.9	8.5 months	5.20%	34.3 months
Microsoft	9.40%	2.9	11.9 months	5.20%	36.1 months
Sage	3.50%	2.8	9.6 months	4.10%	40.5 months

• According to the research, as per the above table we can see Oracle market share is 13.9%, for Infor it is 7.40%, for SAP its 20.30%, for Microsoft it is 9.40% and for Sage it is 3.50 so the maximum market share is for SAP.
• Similarly, the functional score for Oracle is the highest that is 3.3.
• if we see the above report, Oracle has the maximum payback period that is 22.1 months and SAP has the minimum (8.5 months).
• Implementation is maximum for Oracle (5.7%).
• Implementation time is maximum for Sage (40.5 months) and lowest for Oracle.

Suppose I am selecting IBM as a priority organization so the priority level, vendor capability and company capabilities can be as below-
