ERP Sirius is a Tier 2 / 1 Enterprise Class Application (EAS)
Tier 1
The ERP Tier 1 solutions are basically SAP and Oracle. They are designed to service the needs of Fortune 1000 companies, which for the most part are complex, large businesses that have many departments and global locations. Revenues are typically is measured in billions. A Tier 1 ERP solution is built with the complexity of processes in mind. For example, an ERP Tier 1 allows for several people to be working on a single function.
ERP Sirius is designed to scale up to a Tier 1 ERP.
Tier 2
Tier 2 products are on offer from several vendors. Epicor ERP, Infor, Microsoft, Sage and many vertical players fall into this group. Tier 1 players have consistently tried to “dumb down” their offerings to find acceptance in this market space and Tier 3 players have tried to move upmarket for the same reason.
ERP Sirius is a Tier 2, designed to scale up to a Tier 1 ERP when a client asks.
Tier 3
Examples of Tier 3 are QuickBooks and Sage 50, formerly known as Peachtree. These products do not offer the functionality of Tier 1 and 2 solutions, and may not even qualify as ERP systems. You’re getting basic accounting abilities with these small business tools.
Small businesses or businesses running a vertical line of business (LOB) application with weak accounting benefit from using a Tier 3 solution. They have a low TCO and are easy to implement. There is the risk that a growing company will quickly outgrow this type of solution, ERP Sirius has data migration capabilities from these systems.
What does Enterprise-Class Application (EAS) mean?
Enterprise-class is a buzzword that refers to applications that are designed to be robust and scalable across a large organization. There are no firm standards for what makes an application or platform enterprise-class, but enterprise-class applications are generally:
- Open and compatible with existing databases and tools.
- Customizable for the needs of specific departments.
- Powerful enough to scale up along with the needs of the business using it.
- Secure from outside threats and data leaks.
Just email your required features. We don’t charge for adding functionality if you have a professional or premium subscription plans.
ERP Sirius is designed to be secure, the final executable file is compiled into native binary. ERP Sirius inbuilt protectors to keep an attacker from directly inspecting or modifying a compiled application. The protector is like a shield that keeps an application encrypted and protected against possible attacks. Before ERP Sirius is run by the operating system, the protector will first take control of the CPU and check for possible cracking tools (dissemblers or de-compilers) that may be running on the system. If everything is safe the software protector will proceed to decrypting the protected application and giving it the control of the CPU to be executed as normal.
- ERP Sirius databases are secure and encrypted. The purpose of encryption is to protect data from being deciphered by unauthorized viewers or users. Only ERPSirius and its mobile applications can read the data on the database.
- #ChimeAI framework provides “distributed protection” on all vital transactions.
- Being non-web browser-dependent does away with all “web browser security issues”
See the Take a Tour page and Secure Technologies section.
Firebird
The default database is Firebird 4 supplied with ERP Sirius +Mobile. The database is encrypted to protect sensitive data from unauthorized access and prevent direct work with the databases: only ERP Sirius +Mobile applications should be able to work with encrypted databases.
