Which ERP partners fit our company size?
ERP Partners by Company Size: What The Shortlist Report Finds
2 firms lead, appearing in 41.3–41.7% of 235 AI responses. The sample cannot separate them, so we do not pretend it can.
Two firms lead
Deloitte and Accenture come up most often here. They are close enough together that the order between them is not worth reading anything into.
Based on 235 ChatGPT responses to this question, collected August 11, 2026–October 1, 2026. Firms are counted once per response. How we measure.

Key findings
- Deloitte and Accenture lead this sample, each named in 41.3–41.7% of 235 ChatGPT responses to the question “Which ERP partners fit our company size?”, collected August 11, 2026–October 1, 2026.
- The gaps between Deloitte and Accenture are inside the margin of error at 235 responses, so The Shortlist Report groups them in one tier rather than ranking them against each other.
- 10 firms cleared the reporting threshold on “Which ERP partners fit our company size?” in ChatGPT as of October 1, 2026; the full table with response counts is below.
- Deloitte appears in 7 of the 10 NetSuite and ERP implementation partners reports published by The Shortlist Report, the widest coverage of any firm named on this page.
- No firm paid to appear in this ranking; placement cannot be bought, and the counts come from ChatGPT responses rather than from submissions.
Why the tiers fall where they do
Tier 1 holds Deloitte and Accenture, named in 97 to 98 of the 235 ChatGPT responses. They are grouped rather than ranked because the gaps between them are inside the margin of error at this sample size — one extra mention would reorder them, so an order would be reporting noise as a finding.
Tier 2 holds PwC, Capgemini, IBM and RSM, named in 71 to 84 of 235 responses (30.2–35.7%). The sample does separate these firms from the tier above: the difference from the leading group is larger than the margin of error, which is what puts them in a tier of their own.
Tier 3 holds KPMG and Infosys, named in 50 to 63 of 235 responses (21.3–26.8%). The sample does separate these firms from the tier above: the difference from the leading group is larger than the margin of error, which is what puts them in a tier of their own.
Tier 4 holds EY and BDO, named in 43 to 48 of 235 responses (18.3–20.4%). The sample does separate these firms from the tier above: the difference from the leading group is larger than the margin of error, which is what puts them in a tier of their own.
The test is McNemar’s at 95%, applied against the same 235 responses for every firm. The full reasoning, and what happened when we ranked one-to-N instead.
What the sample shows
2 firms lead this question: Deloitte and Accenture. They appear in 41.3–41.7% of the 235 responses. The gaps between them are inside the margin of error at this sample size, so they are listed together rather than ranked against each other.
264 firms were named at least once across the sample. 10 of them cleared the threshold of 2 responses and appear above; the rest were named once and are inside the noise.
How to read this
Firms are grouped into tiers, not ranked one to fifteen. A tier holds every firm whose 95% confidence interval overlaps the leader's, which is a long way of saying the sample cannot tell them apart. Order within a tier is arbitrary — read the counts, not the position.
Share is the percentage of responses that named the firm — not a quality score. A firm scoring low here may be excellent and simply under-written about online, which is a finding about its visibility rather than its work.
The same question was asked repeatedly because AI assistants do not answer identically twice. A single response would tell you almost nothing.
What this measurement does not tell you
- It is not a quality ranking. Share reflects how much has been written about a firm online, which is what an AI assistant reads. A capable firm nobody writes about scores low here.
- It is a reading from a date range, not a permanent standing. This sample was collected August 11, 2026–October 1, 2026; models change and so do their answers.
- It covers ChatGPT only. Other assistants answer differently, and we do not extrapolate across engines we have not measured.
- Order within a tier is arbitrary. Read the counts, not the position. Why we use tiers.
