Abstract

The paper describes a method for estimation of the size of business sectors covered by ERP solutions. It presents a short overview of existing methods for measuring the size of business sectors and software in general, including the ERP solution as its special type. A list of business sectors which are supported by ERP solutions is given. The described method for the estimation of size was applied over this business sectors list. Then, an estimation of the number of common elements which are part of the structure of the observed business sectors was performed. Based on the estimated number of common elements and estimated size of business sectors, the relationship between common and specific elements in the size of business sectors supported by ERP solutions was calculated.
