I have worked with solutions based on client requirements.

Previously, I worked with a product from Microsoft. I wouldn't say that Microsoft's product was better than SAP ERP. However, I would say that Microsoft's product had more capacity, processes, and functionalities than SAP ERP, which was meant to support small businesses. But, SAP ERP has much more specialized features suitable for bigger industries.

We did not previously use a different solution before jumping into this product. This was our first ERP. 

We previously used Infor but switched because we needed a global solution. 

We want to move to S/4HANA to take advantage of the improvements in finance. New GL provides much functionality for profit analysis, P&L, and all kinds of automation. Our S/4HANA conversion plan has a schedule of 15 months from start to finish.

We have only used SAP ERP.

Before SAP ERP, we used Oracle ERP. The decision to switch to SAP ERP was not driven by our IT team but it resulted from business organizational changes that forced us to adopt a different ERP package.

Previously, my company used a product from Oracle. My company shifted to SAP ERP from Oracle after our company's plans to move to a manufacturing setup.

We previously used Oracle. When the company merged the new finance team preferred SAP, so HR also had to move along with the finance team. 

We did not use another ERP solution prior to SAP.

I've also used Oracle in the past.

I also use Microsoft.

The one thing different between this solution and Microsoft is, with Microsoft, normally the application training is relatively free or very low cost. The training for us for HANA or SAP ERP is expensive. They should think of reducing the pricing, or even offer free training, as that will help with awareness in the user and the better usage of the application. 

We're in the process of moving to SAP S4 HANA. S4 will provide all the business processes required. Whatever you need it has on offer.

We used a homegrown one. It was getting a bit long in the tooth.

I have had a chance to work with Workday, SF and SAP ECC. I have worked with SAP ECC the most, being an established payroll and time solution in the market. SF is catching up, but that again is a product of SAP itself. We need to understand that SAP ECC is an on-premise system, whereas SF and Workday are cloud solutions, still evolving as far as payroll and time evaluation features are concerned. However, from the standpoint of other HR processes/workflows, those products have an edge over ECC.

I previously used Salesforce.

We were using an ERP that didn't have a big company behind it. The company started to have financial problems, the stock price went from $200 to about 10 cents. So we thought the solution would no longer be supported, and we didn't want to have our financials and materials management in software that didn't have a big company behind it.

So we started looking at ERP solutions in our industry. Here in Chile, the best option was SAP ERP. We spoke with people in the same industry in Argentina, Uruguay, and Brazil. They had no problems with it, so it was the natural option for us to go with ERP from SAP.

When selecting a vendor the most important factor is the vendor's availability. We don't want to find that our provider has problems with availability. When we have a problem, they have to have a solution. The provider has to have a lot of clients that are similar to us, and it has to have been providing the solution for a long time. That way, if we are going to have problems, somebody has had them before and there will already be solutions for them.

We've always been using SAP.

We used JD Edwards before SAP and as a corporate move, all the plants went over to SAP and our department also moved eventually. The company chose a good product. 

We used Navision previously and then we moved to SAP ERP because of its larger scale and strategic direction from the management.

We have used a previous solution and it was a purely homegrown system, which was completely customized and developed in .NET.

We have implemented in several solutions and used them across our various organizations.

Yes, and the decision to switch came from management.
