The Russia's first rating of integrators on number of the implemented ERP projects is

Basis of the directory of TAdviser ERP integrators are detailed files on each IT company – the passport of integrator, – executing projects on implementation of ERP systems in Russia and the CIS countries or declaring this direction in the activity. The file on each integrator contains a large number of parameters: financial performance, the detailed list of the implemented ERP projects, industry specialization, the partner status in ERP vendors, regional presence and many other things. Nevertheless, experts of the Center are deeply convinced that the keyword parameter of the choice of this or that integrator for the company wishing to implement the ERP system is its competence which directly depends on quantity and complexity of the implemented projects.

For this reason the first ranking made by experts of the TAdviser Center represents selection of integrators on number of the implemented ERP projects. It should be noted that the specified ranking is made on the basis of preliminary data and rather small selection: at the moment the directory contains 52 ERP integrators and 451 executed project. Experts of the TAdviser Center are sure of incompleteness of data retrieveds, however active work on filling of the directory is conducted now: by the end of September it is going to bring in base over 100 ERP integrators and 700 ERP projects.

However, the analysis even of the existing selection allows to obtain interesting data. If to range ERP integrators not only on financial performance as it does most of analysts, and as the main criterion to take the number of the executed projects, then the structure of leaders strongly changes. This circumstance, for example, is extremely important for the enterprises of the sector of SMB for which a ratio "price/quality + experience" are defining for the choice of the contractor.

All information on integrators is collected on the basis of public data and also based on questioning of the companies. Considering high information closeness of the market, unwillingness of integrators to share detailed information on the executed projects, specialists of the Center are convinced that the structure of TAdviser20, especially the second ten of a ranking, can significantly change with increase in number of the companies and projects in the directory. This ranking is made on the basis of preliminary data and is also some kind of appeal to integrators about increase in the information openness.

It is obvious that in the deep analysis of the implemented ERP projects, the companies of the first echelon of the Russian IT market can appear leaders not only and not just. Already from a preliminary ranking of TAdviser20 it is visible that many large integrators holding the first places in the ratings of the IT companies do not get even to the first 20-ka on the number of the executed projects. At the same time existence of 1-2 large ERP projects in which they often act as general contractors while the lion share of work is executed on subcontracting by those "ERP integrators of the second echelon" officially allows to declare the direction of implementation of ERP systems to such companies. Experts of the TAdviser Center are deeply convinced that similar information can become an arsenal, the instrument of the choice for numerous potential customers and the existing users of ERP systems.

Distinctive feature of the directory of ERP integrators is a broad set of services which number will constantly increase. In particular, already now from the homepage of the directory it is possible to perform different selections on base of integrators: on existence of the partner status of the set ERP vendor, on competence of integrator of this or that industry, on existence of representation in the set federal district of Russia and many other things. The interesting tool which is also directed to increase in information openness of the market is so-called WiKi-information or "TAdviser.Inside is Unofficial information of community". Now each user of the directory can add the comment on certain fields of the passport of integrator, discuss the specific project, make amendments in the history, etc. The change history is also completely available to each passport of integrator.

In the nearest future experts of the TAdviser Center will prepare a number of rankings of ERP integrators and also the difficult complex ratings including the analysis of activity of ERP integrators on a large number of projects. Besides, the base of ERP projects, largest in Russia, with the detailed description of each of them which will be closely integrated with the directory of ERP integrators is created now.
