An ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system includes functions vital to an organization’s operations such as finance, HR, inventory, supply chain, CRM, production/manufacturing, procurement, project management, asset management and business intelligence/reporting. Organizations implement ERP functions in various configurations including vertical specific systems, module-based commercial applications or combination with integrations to specialized third-party applications.
Organizations may have ‘patchwork’ ERP applications compiled through years of growth or older commercial platforms that are no longer efficient or meet business requirements. Replacing or upgrading ERP systems is challenging under the best of circumstances and it’s not a matter of replacing ‘like for like’. New technologies provide new opportunities to expand business, reduce cost and increase profitability. Upgrading or replacing an ERP system should align with the organization’s strategic objectives, minimize disruption, and provide a return on investment that justifies the chosen path. Careful considerations should be given to many factors including:
CURRENT SYSTEM PERFORMANCE
OUTDATED TECHNOLOGY
FUNCTIONALITY GAPS
COMPLIANCE AND REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS
INTEGRATION NEEDS
TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP
VENDOR SUPPORT
CUSTOMIZATION COMPLEXITY
USER ADOPTION AND TRAINING
FUTURE GROWTH AND SCALABILITY
