Description
Summary:When it came to business software suites-aka ERP-Microsoft ran the table in this year's Channel Champions voting. Microsoft had the highest overall rating of 76.9, Oracle logged second with 68.1, SAP was third with 65.8, and Sage Software was a point behind at 64.8. Microsoft fields four ERP lines-once known separately as Great Plains, Solomon, Axapta and Navision-now all sold under the Dynamics brand. Longtime SMB player Sage also fields multiple ERP lines. SAP, meanwhile, is parlaying its enterprise ERP muscle into the midmarket, primarily with Business One. And Oracle, which offers not only its own E-business Suite but J.D. Edwards and PeopleSoft wares as well, is likewise moving downmarket.
