A good analysis of the industry characteristics and personalization of enterprises, on the one hand, can provide a basic basis for enterprises to correctly construct the overall framework of informatization. Enterprises can make practical short-term, medium-and long-term plans for informatization according to their own management bottlenecks and needs. The process of planning is the process of reviewing and reflecting on their own management process and operation mode, which helps to grasp their own needs in the planning process; on the other hand, it provides a basic basis for enterprises to choose software correctly. According to the differences in production, procurement, sales, inventory, equipment and cost management, enterprises can choose the application software suitable for their own characteristics according to the functions of ERP software.

Some people in the industry divide the existing ERP software into general software and industrial software. According to this division, enterprises will have a question of whether to choose general-purpose software or industrial software. The distinction between general purpose and industry here, our understanding is: general software is suitable for various industries, while industry software is a software version suitable for a specific industry or certain industries. Through years of study and practice in information technology, we believe that: at present, the products of various software companies have their own characteristics and market positioning objects. there may not be many personalized general-purpose software that is fully suitable for various industries (especially domestic software). According to their market positioning, some software companies will form best practices for some industries, which is of great significance for the successful implementation of the ERP system.

Some people propose that ERP is a project, not a product, which means that the implementation of ERP is more important than ERP software. if we proceed from this level, enterprises should choose ERP software which is suitable for the characteristics of the industry. In fact, many successful cases also show that a basic strategy for enterprises to choose software is: "you don't have to choose the best software, you should choose the most suitable software."

Due to the unsatisfactory success rate of the implementation of ERP system in our country, some famous ERP software vendors in China have adjusted their business strategies, began to transform to industry implementation and industry services, and launched some industry software, such as chemical version, paper version, beer version and so on. Some software vendors even propose to only engage in industry services, not to fully blossom, which shows that domestic software companies attach importance to industry services.

Understanding the industry characteristics of an enterprise is the basic strategy of software selection, but it is not the only strategy. Software selection should also follow other relevant principles, such as:

The principle of "training in advance, choosing software later". Because only after understanding the basic principles and functions of ERP can enterprises choose software according to their own needs. "you can never choose software before you understand MRP Ⅱ."

"follow the principle of software selection program". The main steps of software selection are as follows: 1, understanding peer enterprise applications; 2, visiting software companies; 3, watching software demonstrations; 4, data testing; 5, visiting typical users of software; 6, comprehensive evaluation software. Data testing is an effective method to investigate the adaptability of software. The specific approach is to select a simplified product or component (about 10 murmur20 materials) to sort out the relevant basic data, prepare the problems that the enterprise needs to solve, and use the software of the software company to carry out the actual operation. Data testing can directly examine the running results of the software and assess the adaptability of the software function to the needs of the enterprise. Data testing is best carried out in the enterprise, so that more managers can directly understand the running effect of ERP software. For some software that are suitable for the characteristics of the enterprise industry, it is necessary to concretely analyze the consistency between its products and the current management and operation methods of the enterprise, whether all modules can be used, or part of the modules can be used, whether secondary development is needed, how much the development volume is, and seek the most personalized ERP software for the enterprise as far as possible.

The following factors should be considered in the selection of software: 1, mature application software should be selected; 2, the possibility of long-term cooperation among software vendors should be considered; 3, customized software should be carefully selected; 4, their own conditions should be considered in the selection of foreign software; 5, the price of software should be comprehensively considered. Among many factors, "selecting mature software suitable for enterprise manufacturing types and industry characteristics" and "selecting service providers with implementation experience and possible long-term cooperation" are particularly important. "whether the software is mature and whether the implementation experience is rich must be verified by a large number of successful cases."

To sum up, chemical enterprises should choose ERP software according to the basic principle of "function applicable, technology applicable" and consider the above factors to select many ERP manufacturers, so as to select the most suitable ERP software.
