Navigating ERP Solutions

Key Questions to Consider...

What Do You Get When You Invest in an ERP Solution?

An ERP solution isn't a one-time purchase that you set and forget. When you invest in an ERP solution, you are committing to an ongoing process of maintenance, upgrades, and support. Understanding precisely what you are investing in and the long-term commitment involved, is a critical aspect of the selection process.

Which Business Issues Are You Looking to Tackle? 

Focusing on the specific challenges that you hope to solve with an ERP solution is crucial. You might just need the basics for now, but as your business expands, you are likely to require more sophisticated features.

How Will Your Current Business Processes Be Affected? 

It's vital to grasp how things currently operate, identify areas for improvement, and recognize how an ERP solution can lend a hand. Which changes will be wrought upon your existing workflows? Without a thorough grasp of our current processes, alterations may be implemented without fully considering their consequences. Every proposed alteration comes with a certain level of disruption, so it's essential to anticipate and plan for the aftermath of these changes.

Are You Leaning Towards a Horizontal or Vertical ERP Solution? 

A Horizontal Solution provides a fully integrated suite, encompassing modules for every essential business process. However, it may result in a rather generic fit. Conversely, a Vertical Solution is highly specialised, and tailored specifically for one industry rather than catering to many. This offers the advantage of a more niche approach.

How Do You Decide Between On-Premise or Cloud-Based Solutions? 

Should factors like cost, security, and the need for customisation sway you toward keeping your data local and on-premise? Or perhaps you lean toward the advantage and flexibility of a capital expenditure option, with a cloud-based solution? Some ERP providers offer a blend of both options, catering to the diverse needs of their clients.
