ERP - Distribution Showdown:

Oracle's EnterpriseOne vs. Technology Group International's Enterprise 21

Published by Technology Evaluation Centers Inc.

Introduction

ERP - distribution software solutions help companies on a global scale by tracking inventory and controlling spending within the organization. This software helps in both supply chain management (SCM) and retailing activities while focusing on the distribution of products or components throughout a global supply chain. The software also aids companies in using internal and external resources more effectively. For this ERP - Distribution Showdown, we selected Oracle's well-established JD Edwards EnterpriseOne and up-and-coming Technology Group International’s Enterprise 21.

For the overall rankings, we looked at the two solutions in two different configurations:

• Full functionality
• Without human resources (HR) and financials (back office)

We broke it down this way because some businesses looking for an ERP-distribution system may want to retain their existing HR and financial software, while others will be looking for a complete, integrated solution that includes back-office functionality.

We used our ERP - Distribution Evaluation Center to compare the two solutions. The results are based on the most recent request for information (RFI) data supplied to us by Technology Group International (TGI) and Oracle, and indicate their levels of support for each of the 3,414 functional criteria in our ERP - Distribution Evaluation Center.

To eliminate any chance of bias and to ensure a level playing field, all the criteria comprising the modules and submodules in the ERP - distribution RFI were given equal weight and priority. In other words, no area of functionality was treated as being more important than any other.
