If ERP Systems Were NHL Teams
In the world of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, success requires strategy, adaptability, and execution—the same key ingredients for a Stanley Cup-winning hockey team. Some ERP systems are like historical powerhouses, dominating their industries for decades, while others are up-and-coming challengers, looking to disrupt the status quo. Likewise, in the NHL, you have storied franchises […]
The Love-Hate Relationship with ERP Software: Why It Drives Me Crazy
ERP software is often seen as a game-changer for organizations looking to streamline operations and improve efficiency. But here’s the reality—ERP implementations are notorious for cost overruns, business disruptions, and failed expectations. After 25 years in ERP consulting, I have worked with every major ERP system—SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Infor, NetSuite, and more. And while […]

Why Emerging ERP Systems Deserve Your Attention
In the ever-evolving world of enterprise resource planning (ERP), many companies instinctively gravitate toward well-known, “household name” solutions when searching for a new system.

Oracle ERP Cloud vs. Oracle NetSuite : Une comparaison indépendante par un tiers
Au fil des années où nous avons fourni notre classement annuel des meilleurs systèmes ERP indépendamment de la technologie, nous n’avons jamais vu un classement comme celui de 2020.

Oracle ERP Cloud 与 Oracle NetSuite：独立第三方比较
在我们提供年度技术无关的顶级ERP系统排名的这些年里，我们从未见过像2020年榜单这样的情况。不仅榜单上有一些令人惊讶的名字——尤其是ServiceNow、Workday和SAP S/4HANA——还有一些厂商的产品表现优于其他。 今年，Oracle ERP Cloud和Oracle NetSuite表现良好，两者都排在前三名。由于排名接近且自从Oracle收购NetSuite以来，两者属于同一个母公司，许多客户在选择哪一个适合他们的组织时感到不确定。更为复杂的是，大多数ERP系统集成商在推荐时有自己的偏好。 每个组织都有不同的需求和优先事项，但有一些标准可以用来比较这些产品，以帮助您的ERP软件选择项目。下面的分析提供了Oracle ERP Cloud和Oracle NetSuite之间的客观比较。我还会在整个分析过程中对每个产品“打分”。 一年的时间能对年度ERP系统排名产生多大的影响 去年，我们发布的结果中，NetSuite排名第二，而Oracle ERP Cloud未能进入2019年ERP排名的前五，这引起了不少争议。我们曾将Oracle称为“沉睡的巨人”，但没有想到他们能如此迅速地反弹。今年的反弹主要归功于市场采用率的提高和两个产品的功能成熟度的改进。 Oracle ERP Cloud vs. NetSuite：功能成熟度 2019年阻碍Oracle ERP Cloud的最大问题是缺乏功能成熟度。特别是在供应链和制造方面，缺少太多的功能模块。 在过去的一年中，公司似乎巩固了整体产品路线图，以改进一些关键功能。在EPM、财务和供应链模块的优势，常常被我们的客户和顾问视为差异化因素——特别是与SAP S/4HANA相比（请参阅我们关于SAP与Oracle的比较）。制造功能的一些关键缺口是阻止产品进一步上升排名的原因之一。 同样，我们对Oracle NetSuite的独立评审也解释了该产品如何开始改进其轻量级制造能力，这历来是一个薄弱环节。总体而言，其功能和技术成熟度普遍优于Oracle ERP Cloud——这主要是因为它已经成为一款本地云产品超过20年，而Oracle ERP Cloud最近才迁移到云端。 优势：Oracle NetSuite。得分：NetSuite领先1-0。 Oracle ERP Cloud vs. Oracle NetSuite：灵活性 灵活性是Oracle ERP和NetSuite之争中的另一个关键差异点。一般来说，Oracle ERP Cloud提供了很大的灵活性，而NetSuite由于其SaaS云模式限制了软件根据您的需求进行更改的能力，因此较为不灵活。 Oracle ERP Cloud拥有一个强大的工具生态系统以支持灵活性，例如其平台即服务（PaaS）工具，支持与第三方系统和应用的集成。而NetSuite的优势在于通过其SaaS模式推动通用和可重复的业务流程。仅仅因为您可以更改ERP系统（如Oracle Cloud所示），并不意味着您应该这么做。这完全取决于您的需求和优先事项。 优势：Oracle ERP Cloud。得分：平局1-1。 Oracle ERP Cloud vs. Oracle NetSuite：系统集成商和实施合作伙伴选项 […]

Es gab einige Überraschungen – insbesondere mit ServiceNow, Workday und SAP S/4HANA – aber einige Produkte schnitten besser ab als andere. Dieses Jahr haben Oracle ERP Cloud und Oracle NetSuite […]
