Micro ERP & SME

Defining SME segment for the ERP Products !

TRADITIONAL DEFINITION OF SME
l By Turnover amount of a company l By Transaction Volumes of a company	?? ??
We challenge this definition of SME segment as generally defined by SAP,BAAN etc. A company with 200 Crore turnover may have two Invoices per month while a company with 20 Crores turnover may have 100 Invoices a day.

THE TRUE DEFINITION OF A SME

l Not yet Ready For Business Process Re-Engineering overhaul.
l Not yet Ready and matured for Best Practices Adoption scenario.
l Requires Computerisation of Existing Processes.
l Requires Online Integration of existing Processes.

Ø First Stage of Integrated on - Line Computerisation needed

Ø Reluctance to change existing processes. Disruption in operation.
