What makes the SoftwareReviews Emotional Footprint different? Inclusion of aggregated emotional response ratings in the areas of service, negotiation, product impact, conflict resolution, and strategy and innovation. Together they create a powerful indicator of overall user feeling toward the vendor and its product from the software users’ point of view. SoftwareReviews calls this insight the Net Emotional Footprint.

“What is interesting about this year’s Enterprise Resource Planning Emotional Footprint Awards is the number of companies that have made it into the Champions quadrant,” says Robert Fayle, research director, Info-Tech Research Group. “As ERP software continues to move toward commoditization, we will see more vendors differentiating themselves through customer service. It is no longer enough to have the best software. You also need to be able to deliver the best customer experience.”

Oracle ERP Cloud, with a Net Emotional Footprint of +86, has scored top product in many categories, specifically exceeding expectations, in being respectful, efficient, caring, saving time, and providing users with client-friendly policies. Unit4 ERP, with a Net Emotional Footprint of +86, received top product in being inspiring, generous, transparent, and overdelivering.
