There are still some problems in the implementation of ERP system in Chinese enterprises, which are mainly shown as follows: (1) A large number of foreign words set a high psychological threshold for ERP. Assembled around ERP system BPR 、JIT、CIMS、 virtual enterprise Collaborative commerce A large number of new terms and foreign words have set a psychological threshold for the majority of enterprise managers Implementation process It is very difficult to grasp. (2) Foreign ERP software vendors have very standardized ERP implementation However, they do not know much about the actual needs and customization process of Chinese enterprises. (3) Many domestic ERP enterprise management software vendors have rich ERP implementation experience, but there is no scientific and standardized implementation method. (4) ERP software provider Business Process Reengineering Provided by consulting companies and government departments ERP service . Most of the supervisors who advocate third-party supervision provide ERP implementation suggestions and experience from their own perspective. However, enterprises cannot fully see the specific implementation cycle, so they cannot deeply understand the specific ERP implementation methods and activities.
Therefore, selecting a suitable supplier is the key to the successful implementation of ERP.

From 2003 to 2008, in China, UFIDA Kingdee SAP wave The total sales of the four leading ERP enterprises account for about half of the entire ERP industry. And with ERP Market capacity With the rapid growth of ERP, the camp of several leading manufacturers in the ERP market has remained stable for a long time. From the above analysis, we can see that China's ERP software industry Market concentration - Straight is maintained at a high level, showing approximate Oligopoly Pattern.
Leading Chinese and foreign manufacturers jointly lead the Chinese market
The manufacturers that dominate the ERP market in China have Domestic brands UFIDA and Kingdee also have international brand SAP、 Oracle Infor , Microsoft, etc. For a long time, UFIDA and Kingdee have always occupied the domestic brands leading role At the same time, SAP and other international brands are also in the leading position in China's ERP market.
ERP market existence Industrial barriers
M&A and Brand influence It is an important factor in the formation of ERP industry barriers. ERP giants rely on their powerful Financial strength , through enterprise mergers and acquisitions to achieve their own scale upgrade, so as to form a higher Market barriers In the ERP market, M&A has become an improvement Enterprise scale and market share And accelerate enterprise realization Industrial transformation The only way to promote enterprises to become bigger and stronger. Small and medium-sized enterprises in the market, facing the powerful financial strength and R&D strength of industry giants, are difficult to compete with them and face the problem of survival. Therefore, the big giants formed through mergers and acquisitions in the ERP market have directly raised the entry threshold of the ERP industry. In 2009, ERP local manufacturers and international enterprises Brand competition A very intense year saw a craze of M&A in the domestic ERP market. Big enterprises such as UFIDA and Kingdee have been accelerating M&A of small and medium-sized software enterprises in the ERP industry. So far, many M&As have been completed in China's ERP market.
Secondly, the long-term accumulation of ERP industry Brand reputation Customers and professional experience have also become the market Barriers to entry High brand reputation makes it difficult for many small and medium-sized enterprises to enter the ERP market, thus forming barriers to market entry.
Leading manufacturers have pricing initiative
ERP leading enterprises have achieved monopoly on the industry by accelerating mergers and acquisitions, thus monopolizing the price. Therefore, leading enterprises in the ERP market have the initiative Pricing power Therefore, ERP leading enterprises can maintain their own operations at a high profit level for a long time. As enterprise customers rely more and more on the leading enterprises in the ERP market, they are more and more dependent on ERP Industrial monopoly Only applicable. SAP It is estimated that before 2014, the company's software and related business income Will double, Operating profit margin It will also reach at least 35%.
The strong will always be strong
In the future, the differentiation between the superior enterprises and the inferior enterprises in the ERP market will be further intensified, Industrial concentration It will be further improved. With the localization of international ERP giants in China Development speed Accelerated, the performance of local leading manufacturers is increasingly outstanding, and the expansion speed is accelerating. In China, the ERP market in the future will show a pattern of "strong always strong". The fierce competition will mainly focus on the first tier manufacturers, while the second and third tier manufacturers will face the problem of survival.
New entrants have many advantages
Many new industries are not inferior to market monopolists in technology. They have used the SaaS model platform to reach the peak of the company's products. Only by seizing the opportunity reasonably can we survive from the cracks and occupy a wider sky.

In small and medium-sized Enterprise information The most obvious Development trend This is: Enterprise globalization Market globalization And the globalization of competition. With the continuous development of e-commerce, policy barriers have disappeared in the past few years, Enterprise e-commerce It has existed in SMEs for quite a long time, and its business scope has gradually expanded to the whole world. Therefore, with the continuous strengthening of informatization construction of SMEs. It is inevitable to optimize ERP system function And provide services for global enterprises.
ERP has already supported enterprise informationization Obvious and relatively easy to achieve functions, such as allowing multiple transactions and telegrams Monetary unit . Declaration by country Operating results But. Other functions, such as local application Policy structure Or local culture expected value , it will be very complex to design in the ERP system, and it is difficult to realize it by programming. So. To globalize ERP, the first step is to ERP process Standardize and integrate the productivity, production and transportation cost , tariffs and demand.
With the globalization of the market, SMEs also tend to merge with each other to better cope with the overcapacity in the market. In addition, information environment With the process environment Similarity It will also lead to business combination. The continuous growth of mergers and acquisitions has brought about another need to integrate the previously separated ERP. Therefore, when optimizing the ERP system, we must take into account the energy invested by the enterprise in the original ERP system, so that the enterprise can System environment In this case, a slight upgrade can meet the needs of informatization construction of SMEs in the current economic situation.
Rapid ERP
In the competitive business environment, in order to survive and develop, SMEs must quickly understand what a single customer wants at a specific time, and respond through ERP software. Therefore, ERP software is required to have the ability of quick perception and quick response. The optimized ERP must meet the needs of informatization construction of small and medium-sized enterprises in terms of technology. Improve the speed and flexibility of enterprises to respond to customers.
ERP reorganization
economic globalization It has promoted the merger between enterprises. However, since enterprises and management organizations require to reduce management costs, it will urge enterprises to regroup in the industry. The reorganized company should also be able to carry out ERP reorganization with the help of the optimized ERP software, so that the ERP software can meet the requirements of the current enterprise reorganization.
ERP virtualization
because virtual organization It is for the enterprise to Realize win-win And joint collaboration. The relationship is very extensive. In order to cover such a range, the optimized ERP software technically needs to support the integration of data and processes at different levels, from simple market transactions between organizations to full integration and sharing. All levels of integration must be suitable for the types of relationships between two (or more) organizations that constitute virtual organizations. ERP software should be virtualized. One way is to expand Value chain , multiple data system In Information integration in harness. [1]
