Selecting & Implementing a New ERP System? Consider This...
The Cost of Change in ERP
When selecting ERP software, buyers typically make one glaring error – they focus on the traditional ‘cost of ownership’ - software licences, implementation, maintenance and support. But they forget a critical question: “How easily the software can be altered when there is an unplanned business change?”
When the organization restructures, or there’s a merger or acquisition, or simply a change of business process, how easy is it to make that change? The answer can significantly impact the ongoing cost of an ERP system.
