Compiere provides multiple views of business information based on the detail of the actual transactions. This structure allows maximum flexibility and easy integration of supplemental external information.

It is intended to assist with finance, manufacturing, customer relationship management, supply chains, analytics, and electronic commerce in Small and Medium-sized Enterprises.

Another commercial ERP software is mySAP ERP. It is produced by SAP AG and was formerly known as SAP R/3. This is a client/server-based application that uses a 3-tier model. A presentation or client layer, which interfaces with the user. A second layer which houses all the business-specific logic is the application layer, and the third layer is the database layer which records and stores all the information about the system, including transactional and configuration data.

The success of any ERP package depends on its ease of customization and the implementation process.
