Quality Management
Buy the ERP for Manufacturing (SMB) Software Evaluation Report to uncover the details of this analysis.
Quality management refers to the set of actions taken by an organization to ensure that it creates and delivers high-quality products. In order to do so, organizations must comply to national and international rules and regulations related to product quality, but they often also create and use internal requirements for quality control. Specific procedures need to be set up in order to ensure that the end products comply to internal or external quality standards. All these activities need to be well documented in order to provide the information needed when customers are not satisfied with the quality of the products received. Government agencies may also require this information for control and verification.

Product Technology
Buy the ERP for Manufacturing (SMB) Software Evaluation Report to uncover the details of this analysis.
This group of criteria defines the technical architecture of the product as well as the technological environment in which the product can run successfully. Criteria include product and application architecture, software usability and administration, platform and database support, application standards support, communications and protocol support and integration capabilities. Relative to the other evaluation criteria, best practice selections place a lower relative importance on the product technology criterion. This apparently lower importance is deceptive because the product technology usually houses the majority of the selecting organization's mandatory criteria, which generally include server, client, protocol and database support, application scalability, and other architectural capabilities. The definition of mandatory criteria within this set often allows the client to quickly narrow the long list of potential vendors to a short list of applicable solutions that pass muster relative to the most basic mandatory selection criteria.
