Don't Wait to Upgrade Your ERP
Posted on: November 3, 2014 | By: Craig Thompson | Acumatica
As a small or medium-sized business you have an ERP system set in place to efficiently manage your supply chain, basic accounting and customer service processes. You’re planning for your business to grow, to sell to new customers and to increase market share to new areas. Within your plan for business growth you know that within time difficulties may arise with your current ERP system, yet you also know how time consuming and disruptive a new ERP implementation may be. What should you do?
Bottom line is, if you are planning for future growth to your current business, it is better to upgrade your system now before your business becomes more complex. Although implementing a new ERP system may be something you tend to avoid, it makes more sense and adds more efficiency to implement early, before your business expands with new markets, new channels, new products and/or new organizational structures. By implementing a new ERP system ahead of time you can allow for the design of optimal process steps and identify possible issues early on, causing an ease of implementation within your new system. By implementing a new ERP system early, you can ready your current employees and reduce impact on your customers. If you predict your business to grow, and know you will need a new ERP system to handle this growth in the future, why not make the switch now?
Now, besides time consumption and disruption, you are probably hesitant to implement a new ERP system due to the immense cost of purchasing new IT capacity and hiring additional IT staff.
