Historical UK Top 20 MRPII & ERP systems 1995 to 2003

ERP software is undergoing very rapid change of ownership and consolidation (see the ERP graveyard Blog).  The historical list of packages below has therefore lost its value and has not been maintained after 2003.  Please go to the ERP software Tiers page for up to date information on the current packages.

I have left the table below for historical interest which shows the 20 of the UK's most popular manufacturing planning software companies with the latest version seen in use up to 2003. The table shows the %age of UK companies successfully using their packages that we have worked with from 1995 to 2003 or that completed the ABCD checklist and are at least class "C".
