Basic indexes cannot be used on all-around evaluation and certification of the ERP level independently. Concrete index is composed of some elements as follows:

primary index	secondary index	index explanation	index data composition
strategic position	ERP attention rate	the degree of emphasis on informationization and informationization strategy fulfillment circumstance	the status of supreme leader on informationization; the level of CIO; the informationization programming and its budget.
