You’ve outgrown your ERP and are ready to make a change. A salesperson approaches you with a “quick and easy” model to migrate your business to the new ERP. Do you take it?
It may seem tempting. After all, the price looks good, and the promised outcomes look great.
But it’s important to consider what ERP tools you are currently using and how long it took you to get to a place of competence and confidence with those tools.
From there, you can work with an expert to determine the required set of tools that will get you up and running. Over the next couple of years, your business can add more tools and start to utilize the true value of the ERP.
A successful implementation is one that is right-sized for your business. It is easy to get caught up in all the bells and whistles that a new system may offer. However, it is crucial to implement your business-critical processes so that you can hit the ground running with your ERP.
Our background
Our CEO, Jeff Bronson, is a car guy. He has a garage with lots of cars, parts, and tools. His toolbox has well over 5,000 tools, but on a given day, he uses fewer than 50. Why?
Jeff has a core set of needs and a core set of tools that accomplish those needs. The same is true for an ERP implementation. It’s critical to determine your business’ core set of needs. From there, you can build a toolbox that gives your business the exact right tools it needs.
