Microsoft Dynamics ERP Solutions Voted #1 for SMBs

Wednesday, June 2, 2010 by Julie Stankey

Panorama Consulting recently conducted a poll of small and midsized businesses (SMBs) to see which was the top ERP vendor for the market-space.  Microsoft Dynamics ran away with the top prize with 33% of respondents naming Microsoft ERP solutions #1.  Microsoft Dynamics ERP solutions (including Microsoft Dynamics AX (Axapta), Microsoft Dynamics GP (Great Plains), Microsoft Dynamics SL (Solomon), Microsoft Dynamics NAV (Navision)) were followed by “other” (26%), SAP (17%), JD Edwards (11%), NetSuite (6%), and QuickBooks (4%).

According to consultant and blogger, Eric Kimberling, these results were not a surprise to Panorama due to the following facts about Microsoft Dynamics:

• It has an average evaluation, selection, and implemention time that is two months shorter than its competition.
• The average total cost of ownership is the lowest of all the leading ERP solutions covered in the study at $2.6 million for the initial investment, or 5% of the implementing company’s annual revenue.
• It has the most predictable ERP implementation costs compared to other vendors.
• Due to the Windows look and feel that many employees are accustomed to, it leads all vendors in user satisfaction.
