Note that many of the products shown above also fit this range.
Product fit is often based on number of active users, number of
transactions processed, and the need to specialized features, such as
multi-currency and multi-language support. These products are
considered to have many of the more advanced features as well as
being highly scalable. Mid-Range solutions often fit companies of
25-100 users. |

Enterprise Accounting (SME) |
|
|
|
|
|
Enterprise solutions typically target large organizations of 100
users or more. However, the feature set and functionality of these
systems is advanced and very robust so specialized businesses, such a
process based manufacturing, large scale project management, of as
few as five users, could benefit from these applications. |

Enterprise Resource Planning Accounting (ERP) |
|
|
|
|
ERP
has been the buzzword at the pinnacle of accounting for many
decades. At one time, ERP meant specialized modules for Human
Resources, Customer Relationship Management, Warehousing and
Distribution. Today, all the solutions in the Enterprise market and
most of the Mid-Range and SMB solutions have strong offerings in
these areas. Where these were once a half-dozen competitors in the
Fortune Five Thousand market, today there are only a few giants
remaining. |
