In this paper we present a heuristic mathematical model designed to measure the adoptability of cloud ERP systems by small and medium enterprises. This model functions as a decision support tool, and is designed to factor in a ranking of the foreseen benefits and drawbacks of adopting cloud ERP systems, as well as quantifying the importance of each benefit and drawback for both small and medium enterprises, in addition to quantifying the executive opinions of a surveyed sample of companies.

The proposed algorithm uses an over segmentation method that has the advantage of giving all correct segments at least. It is based on arbitrary segmentation followed by segmentation enhancement, consecutive joints connection and finally segmentation point locating. The proposed system gives an excellent recognition rate up to 97% and 92% for words and letter recognition.

These products are categorized under four types: Key/Value, Graph Based, Column Family, and Document Based data store. In this chapter we describe the features and the differences between the four NoSQL types. In addition, the chapter compares multiple NoSQL database products, namely (MongoDB, CouchDB, DynamoDB, Riak, HBase, Cassandra, Titan, and Neo4j) and provides a framework to be used as a reference for developers to help choose the right product and understand its features.
