Switching ERPs? When to Make the Change and What to Expect
This taken from a post by Dawn Jonckowski from Celigo.But since switching ERPs is an involved (if useful!) process, it’s best to be sure it’s time to switch before you pull the trigger. Look for signs like:
- The ERP’s scalability has hit its limit. ERPs can manage both increasing and decreasing demand, but the technology still has limits. If your ERP is at its scalability breaking point, you could see an impact on system performance.
- Your ERP doesn’t play well with others. Most businesses use a collection of various software solutions that need to talk to each other. If your ERP doesn’t integrate with some or all of the necessary pieces of your tech stack, you run the risk of inconsistent or incorrect data that negatively impacts your decision-making and daily operations. A lack of integration can also cause duplicate efforts that waste time and gum up the works in your established processes.
- Business processes aren’t as efficient. Speaking of gumming up the works, the older an ERP system gets, the less likely it is to provide access to data at the speed and consistency that you need. Lack of data causes delays and slows down operations, sometimes even forcing manual workarounds. And it only snowballs from there.
- You’re losing data or worse, can’t get to it. This is especially an issue with legacy ERP systems that rely on older database software and hardware that become prone to downtime or crashes with age. If your system is also struggling to handle larger volumes of data, your organization is at a higher risk of data being lost from improper backups, or corrupted.
