It has now become a trend for SMEs to implement ERP management systems. It is understood that SMEs account for more than 90% of all enterprises in China and are an important part of the national economy. As a successful model of enterprise management informatization, the application of ERP in SMEs is an important way to improve their informatization level, standardize management processes, and increase economic benefits. What problems will SMEs face when implementing ERP management systems, and how can they solve them?

  (1) Core competitiveness of the enterprise.

  For large enterprises, strategy and organization are the most important factors in development. But for SMEs, core competitiveness lies in their own management level and key businesses.

  (2) Profit.

  Unlike large enterprises that focus on long-term returns and benefits, SMEs, due to limited funds and market risks, place greater emphasis on short-term benefits.

  (3) Cost sensitivity.

  SMEs invest less and earn less profit, so they are far more sensitive to gains and losses than large enterprises and are more cautious when making large-scale investments.

  (4) Talent structure.

  Due to limitations in size and capital, it is difficult for SMEs to recruit highly qualified and experienced talent, and the talent they cultivate themselves is likely to leave after gaining experience.

  What troubles SMEs most in software selection is not daring to consider the prices of first-class foreign products, worrying about the quality of domestic products, and being tempted by the fit of some small vendors' products while fearing they may disappear at any time. In fact, SMEs may not be able to absorb the most fully featured products. The one that truly fits their symptoms is the best.
