2024 Software Provider and Product Assessment

The ISG Buyers Guide™ for ERP evaluates offerings designed for product and manufacturing enterprises from software providers that meet our inclusion criteria. Our evaluation is based on a comprehensive assessment of accounting and financial management capabilities. These include basic accounting functionality, including how technology is used to enhance productivity, consolidation and intercompany management, indirect tax, compliance, risk management, inventory, fixed asset, order-to-cash, procure-to-pay and investment in the offering. The guide also assesses the software’s ability to support manufacturing and product-centric enterprises. This includes manufacturing operations, advanced planning and scheduling, demand planning, manufacturing execution, shop floor management, material flow optimization, multi-site operations, quality management, facilities and equipment maintenance, warranty management, environmental, smart manufacturing and distribution. AI-enabled features and functions are part of the evaluation.
