Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) represents a general business application software solution which is applicable in different business operations. Therefore, it covers areas which are common to a certain group of business operations (e.g. manufacturing, services, financial services, public services, etc.). However, business operations, no matter if they belong to the same or different group, have specific areas which are not supported in general ERP solutions. This paper attempts to reveal which business operations are supported by specialized ERP solutions, how to measure the size of specialized ERP producers, how many business operations are supported by ERP producers on average, and whether there are any classifications of ERP producers based on the number of supported business operations.
The software development team is regularly faced with two major problems: access to previous software versions and simultaneous work of many programmers on the same source code at the same time. Some development teams solve these problems by using version control tools, while others opt for manual version control. This paper analyzes both approaches and compares them according to certain criteria.
