Therefore, most companies use a lot of time and effort in the selection of the ERP that best suits their needs, however they do it in an empirical way or through informal recommendations, this means not always selecting the best option. On the other hand, with the advent of cloud computing, new services are offered for the provisioning of software under the Software as a Service (SaaS) model, which means that there are several software options and specifically ERP systems , That exploit the advantages of the cloud as the availability, payment for use, service on demand among others. Hence, this research presents a methodology for the selection of the appropriate ERP, which also considers the legislation and specificities of the reality of Ecuador, in order to choose the ERP deployed in the cloud that best fit To the needs of the company. In order to demonstrate the feasibility of our proposal, we present a concept test, which exemplifies the application of this methodology.
