8th Annual Accounting and ERP survey

September 1, 2006 from CAmagazine and written by Michael Burns – It’s hard to believe we are now in our eighth year for our annual accounting and ERP vendor survey. Interest continues to grow and most vendors want to be part of the survey. This year, we have new or updated responses for 50 systems as of June 2006. The systems cover the entire spectrum – from QuickBooks and Simply Accounting to mid-market systems from Sage and Microsoft to high-end products from SAP and Oracle.

Each year, we expand the survey to cover more functionality. Our objective is to include functions that differ from one product to another. This year we have added service management, commitment accounting, project accounting, back order fulfillment, forecasting, freight calculations, warehouse management functionality and backflushing.
