Submission standards

ERP News welcomes original, practical and vendor-neutral contributions for enterprise technology decision-makers. Submissions should be exclusive or clearly disclose prior publication, use verifiable claims and sources, and avoid promotional language unless the content is booked as sponsored material.

Content types

Featured Article

800–1,200 words

Provide a clear title, a 40–60 word standfirst, descriptive subheadings, practical takeaways and links to supporting sources. Include the author’s name, job title, company and a 50–80 word biography.

Executive Q&A

1,000–1,500 words / 8–12 questions

Submit an edited question-and-answer transcript with a short introduction, the executive’s full name and title, company information, an approved biography and a high-resolution headshot.

Customer Story

800–1,200 words

Structure the story around the business challenge, selection process, implementation, solution and measurable results. Customer approval is required for names, quotations, figures and brand assets.

Featured News / Press Release

400–700 words

Lead with the news value and include the announcement date, relevant facts, attributable quotations, company boilerplate and a media contact. Purely promotional or unrelated submissions may be declined.

  • Confirm that quotations, statistics, logos and images are approved and cleared for publication.
  • ERP News may edit submissions for clarity, length, house style, SEO and accessibility.
