Whatever challenges organisations face due to growth and technology obsolescence, real-time visibility to information and key performance indicators are critical for informed decision-making and maintaining a competitive advantage. Plus, efficiencies and cost savings are associated with leveraging a scalable ERP system that has enough flexibility to meet changing business demands. If your organisation identifies with any of the following signs, it is likely time to explore how a new ERP system will provide a long-term, strategic advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Increasing expense associated with maintaining current ERP software updates and customizations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Businesses with highly customized systems are shelling out more money to support and carry these customizations forward during software upgrades. The unintended effect is that IT roles have become more complicated and inefficient as technology leaders manage a tangled web of disparate systems, coinciding applications and business processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Lack of visibility and access to all data from a single source<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The challenges posed by a legacy ERP system include how to organize, analyse and extract critical data. Legacy ERP systems function as a repository for limited types of data (e.g., financials), but not as a data warehouse from which leaders can easily analyse and extract information. As a result, finding and leveraging full data requires a considerable amount of internal time and energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t
