Hi and welcome to iStart’s 2017-18 edition of the ERP Buyer’s Guide. Purchasing a new or replacement core business management system is a major decision. Navigating the available options can be as confronting as the implications of getting it wrong. Information resources are often conflicting, difficult to compare and skewed toward the US market rendering them if not useless then at least to be approached with caution.
Some say that the process is a little like getting married – not something anyone wants to repeat in a hurry.
However there is good news – you’ve made it this far!
If you are based in Australia or New Zealand, then the solutions represented herein are the leading ERP and financial accounting solutions for medium to large enterprises in the A/NZ region.
This edition has been substantially overhauled with diagrams to provide ease of comparison across industries, functions and architectures, as well as providing full details for each solution using standardised data and like-for-like evaluations.

ERP Buyer’s Guide 2017-18
Some say that the process is a little like getting married – not something anyone wants to repeat in a hurry.
Note that it does not cover small business accounting solutions such as Xero, Quickbooks, Reckon or MYOB’s small business solutions (AccountRight etc.).
Assembling the guide each year is no small feat.
Structured responses are sourced from vendors and/or their local partners,
iStart ERP Buyers Guide 2017-18 | www.istart.com.au | 1800 462 388 | www.istart.co.nz | 0800 928 268 | 4
cross-checked against various other sources, and moderated to remove marketing exuberisms and sales puffery. Vendors pay a modest fee to cover our costs to assemble and disseminate the guide through multiple channels.
We work hard to ensure accuracy and fair representation, but cannot guarantee that products always support the promised functionality against your specific requirements.
Software market observationsDespite ongoing consolidation across the business software industry, the era of cloud and software-as-a-service still presents software buyers with multiple options.
Buying software has become a complex task. Beautifully crafted but often simplistic point solutions compete alongside more established, comprehensive and integrated solutions that would be better described as operational, if not ugly.
ERP vendors have been fighting a battle to compete and remain relevant in an environment of hype around cloud-based software and mobile apps. They are somewhat conflicted by persistent requirements for complex functions versus user expectations of simple software that works well with prices that often start at zero.
If the hype around some cloud solutions were to be believed, ERP as a software category would already be resting with the dinosaurs.
Two realities are ensuring their survival. The first is that there are significant benefits from the integrated financial accounting and operational processes that a well-matched and well-implemented ERP system delivers.
The second is that building solutions that handle the complexity of multi-channel,
multi-device, end-to-end physical and financial processes is difficult and expensive.
As an example, look to Oracle’s recent purchase of NetSuite, which happens to also be Xero’s chosen management platform. Neither, Oracle nor Xero, it seems, could build what they needed for themselves.
To Cloud ERP or not?Cloud capability used to be a distinguishing characteristic through which buyers could eliminate options. No longer. Full browser-based capability is now the norm. The ‘cloud wash’ is over and there has been a huge shift toward web capability in user interfaces.
‘Cloud hosted’ has been over-hyped and simply means locating compute power in premises better resourced to run it as has long been the case, if perhaps not with the elegance now available.
Modern development techniques have enabled a web-based user interface to be overlaid on existing client/server applications, with HTML5 providing
‘responsiveness’ across multiple devices. While several vendors have not yet completed that journey, for those that have, the next big challenge is simplification of screens and processes to match designed-for-web apps, without sacrificing functionality or configurability.
But a web overlay as an afterthought is quite distinct from a natively built web application. Indeed, from a user experience perspective, HTML5 running across a cloud-hosted application is often a retrograde step (to which I can attest from personal experience).
Market share is moving toward the pure-play vendors such as arch-rivals NetSuite (along with its cut-down younger sibling JCurve), MYOB Advanced (aka Acumatica in the US) and Financial Force.This is acting as a significant motivator for traditional vendors to re-architect their solutions around web-native code, user-centric and simplified design.
Open source solutions are also sniping at the heels with solutions appealing to the more technically literate among the buying community. Options such as Odoo and ERPNext are among the leaders, and have substantial developer communities around them. But, as with all such solutions, they come with a cautionary tale (or perhaps tail) that ongoing IT development skills are required to install and support such solutions.
Software – a service or a competitive advantage?The arguments for and against designed-for-web software and a pure software-as-a-service model are too numerous to cover here, but the decision boils down to whether you believe your chosen vendor(s) will provide you with the best software to run your business.
‘Cloud hosted’ has been over-hyped and simply means locating compute power in premises better resourced to run it.
Full browser-based capability is now the norm. The ‘cloud wash’ is over and there has been a huge shift toward web capability in user interfaces.

Or, can you do things smarter, and gain competitive advantage, with solutions tailored to your exact requirements?
Certainly, removing the chores associated with server maintenance and software upgrades is a significant benefit for most businesses, but at what cost? Vanilla software, lowest common denominator product development, difficult customisation and complex integration across cloud providers all weigh in to the decision.
As a buyer, you need to understand exactly what you are getting when it comes to ‘Cloud ERP’.
Solutions range from:
• ‘Pure play’ 100% browser-based SaaS (still only a few vendors offer this)
• Partially web-enabled screens for remote workers such as sales and field service providers, alongside traditional client/server either hosted in the cloud or on-premise (the ‘hybrid’ approach - the most common offering currently)
• Cloud-hosted solutions that still use a traditional client/server architecture with software installed on your PC connected to a remote database (‘cloud hosted’ does not mean browser-based)
• On-premise client/server implementation (still by far the prevalent architecture for most installed sites).
Our Cloud Guide will help, assisted by a demo and your own experience using the product. Make sure you understand how it is being delivered to whatever screen happens to be in front of you.
Industrial designIndustry specialisation is the other trend driving ERP product strategy. Many vendors are providing pre-configured
versions tailored specifically to industry requirements, while others are buying solutions to address a particular vertical, and then later integrating them into the wider product stack.
Regardless of the direction you choose, it always pays to understand the heritage of the solution you are buying. Where has the code base originated from? Where did the software ‘cut its teeth’? Through the layers of cloud and web-enablement, most solutions are running the same engine underneath, and once the excitement of the deal and ensuing project wears off, this is what will really deliver the value to the power users in your business.
In other words, there is still validity in the argument that form follows function.
While we may not answer every question, we hope that this guide adds value in your selection and evaluation process.
Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you need a hand to get started, if you have suggestions for improvement or if you think we’ve got it wrong.
Lastly, if you are in need of specific help with getting an ERP evaluation process under way, we offer a ‘Get-A-Shortlist’ service. This free service matches your high level requirements against suitable ERP providers (not in any way limited to those listed herein) and introduces you to qualified vendors.
