Project-Oriented Versus Generic GL-Oriented ERP/Accounting Systems (4 Pages)
by P.J. Jakovljevic
Dec 22, 2003 Abstract : Project-oriented organizations have many project-specific business and accounting requirements often in compliance with complex industry-specific and regulatory requirements.

by Larry Blitz
May 23, 2008 Abstract : I'm Larry Blitz, editor of Technology Evaluation Centers’ (TEC) Vendor Showdown series. Welcome to our latest: ERP - Distribution Showdown. You’ll notice this one has a broader focus than Showdowns we’ve done in the past. Again we’ll be comparing three vendor solutions head-to-head, but not just on functionality. This time we’ll also look at the industries these solutions support, how well they cover different portions of the mid-market segment, and how their installed bases break out geographically. Of course, functionality is again a key component of this Showdown, broken down into four main distribution areas and 13 subareas. We hope you find today’s Showdown helpful and informative, and invite your comments and questions at showdown@technologyevaluation.com.
