I see that any startup business supposed to begin with a professional program like CRM ,

Then ERP when the organization grows , expands and increases the sections and departments .

Both are Important with respect to time and need. ERP is mostly needed on intial phases of company to capture fincnail and accounting data to enable a company to make its decision. It is more important and hence is the first periority of a Company. 

CRM is a Marketing tool most companies do not use CRM and contuniue to operate with out it. But Orgnization strive to compete in market and to maintain customer relation it is required. 

In my View ERP is essential for a startup Because ERP provides strong tool for

long term growth.Now a days ERP Become more accessiable for all business sizes and stages because of cloud storage.
