Nowadays, ERP systems are being used by many big firms. Unfortunately, ERP systems could not be widely used by small to medium enterprises due to their expensiveness. However, information technology products are becoming cheaper and cheaper recently. Thus, small to medium enterprises have the capabilities of purchasing core ERP system modules. On the other hand, the usage of ERP systems by small to medium enterprises are not very common.
