 Maybe you have done it before, perhaps more than once. Selecting a new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system is a major strategic decision that impacts the future of your business. Choosing the right solution for your organization can help increase sales, cut the working capital locked up in the business and improve operational efficiency to boost bottom line profits. Choosing the wrong system may push up the cost of ownership, restrict user productivity and result in the anticipated benefits not being achieved.

 

It is important that you select an ERP system that offers industry-specific functionality to support your business processes, it must also have a number of other important attributes. Has the vendor experience and credibility in your industry? Does the user interface help drive up the productivity of your users? Will their technology and middleware provide a platform to support the future growth of your business? Is the system open and flexible enough to support your business model as it evolves? Do they have the tools and knowledge to identify, quantify and rank the improvement opportunties? Will the vendor listen to your needs and follow a clear implementation methodology to help ensure a successful project that quickly delivers significant value to your business? Do they have the support organization you need, where you need it and with the level of service you want? And finally, will the solution deliver a low total cost of ownership over the longer-term?
