Overview: When considering a Warehouse Management System (WMS) or a WMS upgrade for the organization, what factors should a person consider? Recent mergers and acquisitions in the software industry have made the decision even more challenging - should the person select a best-of-breed vendor who specializes in only WMS systems, or should he select an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) vendor who offers WMS solutions, along with other integrated business applications (e.g., payroll, accounts payable, etc.)? This paper describes the strengths and weaknesses of best-of-breed and ERP providers and potential future trends in the WMS space. The paper provides the specific functionality, technology, and risk criteria one should consider to help him select the best WMS solution for the organization.
