From a vendor's point of view, the answers to these questions vary according to which side of the ERP fence you stand on. On one hand, ERP vendors claim that ERP for services is a well-developed software category customized for the service industries they serve. On the other hand, best-of-breed vendors for service verticals (such as professional services, health care, government, and financial services) push their industry expertise and vertical solutions built.
