Why change ERP?
1. Inefficient ERP
An ERP system can appear dysfunctional if it contains a series of problems. These include an outdated interface, a lack of tools and missing technologies. These are penalizing for the company, as constant maintenance is required and a great deal of time is wasted.
2. The changing face of business
What's more, today's advanced businesses require more tools, which some ERPs may not yet offer. The company then uses tools that don't communicate with each other, and loses out economically. To optimize, the company needs to invest in a new ERP.
3. Lack of applications
While some ERP applications are naturally used by everyone, others are used by certain companies or for specific purposes. That's why it's a good idea to have an ERP with a wide range of applications.
4. Non-centralized tools
If you have an ERP that isn't flexible, scalable and doesn't centralize tools. This is yet another reason to change. What you need is an ERP that has interconnected tools. That way, you'll have a clearer vision for your business.
