In Conclusion: SAP ERP Capabilities

What can readers conclude from these benchmark comparison results? SAP ERP outperforms the market average 100% of the time, and may be a leading option for decision makers tasked with identifying the best software for their business. Of course, the decision makers within your company will have assigned specific degrees of importance to the standard appraisal factors, which are not accounted for here. Potential buyers should therefore be certain to perform an internal assessment and rank their decision requirements so as to discover the full impact of selecting SAP ERP.

The capability report is focused solely on SAP ERP's support for ERP functions. It therefore doesn't consider the buyer's technical, business, or functional criteria when selecting an ERP solution. These can reflect the realities of users' requirements and the needs of stakeholders, or they can include financial, political, or emotional factors. Of course, any benchmark results can't factor in the complexity of a decision-making process in the real world. The reality is that an element of subjectivity always influences the selection process, as we've seen over the course of the countless selection projects TEC has assisted with.
