[edit] List of ERP packages

I recently did some repairs to the BPCS article, adding obviously missing stuff, and moving around where perhaps the POV of using a particular version can contaminate notion of what application belongs in which major area. Then I went looking to see what other ERP packages are on WP as a guide to the general standards of what is appropriate to include in any one of these articles.

What about Intentia? (http://www.intentia.com). If anyone has any time - and I don't right now, otherwise I'd make the correction - then I think it needs to be added to the list. It might not last long, given the proposed merger between Lawson and Intentia, however.....

[edit] Ranked by sales

That's a good idea, but needs (sourced) figures appended. Just zis Guy you know? 10:02, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

I agree that it's a good idea, but it really does need sources & figures. I've added {{unreferencedsect}}; if no sources are forthcoming soonish I will, unless people object, combine the two lists into one alphabetic list. -- AJR | Talk 22:50, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Whenever I've sorted them, I based this on the revenue figures given inside the articles, adding the background knowledge that Microsoft and Oracle have some other business besides ERP: ;-) There is also the German article on ERP which cites a Gartner study of 2004 which has the following market shares for the largest companies of that time: SAP 26,7 % Oracle 6,8 %, Peoplesoft 6,9 % Sage 5,8 %, Microsoft 5,1 %. This is cited from the German magazine iX 2/2005, article "Zuschlag", p. 89. --S.K. 18:26, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

We need some proper sources here, I am considering to remove the ranking if the sources are not quoted or updated. Agree? ArchStanton ArchStanton 07:38, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

The numbers are gathered from each article. Not sure if all the sales numbers are quoted from a notable source though. --Sleepyhead 07:53, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

These rankings cannot possibly be right - Oracle wouldn't have battled to take over Peoplesoft slo ong and hard if PeopleSoft was really ranked that low in ERP sales - I agree if the sources aren't verifable an aplha list would be a better solution.Ukurko 17:04, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Removal of alphabetical lists

After I've added revenue information for the companies that had them inside wikipedia, I'm thinking of removing the alphabetical lists of vendors and just keeping "See also" links to the categories Category:Free ERP software and Category:ERP software. I went through all relevant articles and made sure they had the appropriate categories set. So for me there is little value in keeping the alphabetical lists. Comments? --S.K. 15:42, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Since there seem to be no comments, I'll remove the lists after waiting for another day. --S.K. 15:37, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

I did it. ;-) --S.K. 18:52, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
