In this study; to select the most suitable ERP software for businesses, ERP software from SAP is a global brand, with the LOGO of the leading software in Turkey, was intended to make a comparison for SMEs and big businesses. Using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method, which is one of the Multi Criteria Decision Making Methods, an evaluation for the SMEs was first made in the Expert Choice program; followed by the same evaluation taking into account big businesses. It is analysed and the results are displayed, which is a better choice among the two ERP programs for SMEs and big businesses. Differences and similarities between evaluation criteria are presented. According to the results obtained from Expert Choice program, LOGO ERP software is the most suitable choice for the SMEs with 56,9% ratio in the selection of SAP and LOGO ERP Software.
