K3 Business Technology Group has published a free 16-page ERP System Selection for SME Manufacturers. With over 150 ERP packages available, choosing a new system can be a daunting task. If you believe the literature, they are all the best! This Guide explores the basics? what to look for? what to avoid.. and develops useful checklists with hints and tips.

The Guide gives a clear insight into the selection process, covering all the stages - from initial preparation and building a shortlist through to negotiating contracts. It also includes a Vendor Selector, giving useful facts about some of the main suppliers.

The free Guide has been written by an industry professional with 25 years experience of selling and implementing ERP systems. He is now 'poacher turned gamekeeper' and knows the tricks of the trade, such as how to control the agenda for demonstrations and customer visits and, in the financial area, negotiating the best prices for software, maintenance, consultancy and payment terms. Legal points highlighted include the need to lodge the source code in Escrow or with a reputable third party.
