The 10-point health check for ERP systems
Depending on pain tolerance and ambitions on the market, the idea is close to a modernization of the Enterprise Resource Planning system (ERP) more or less. However, before a decision for a new solution falls, the question should be analyzed what exactly the company slowly, and where speed would provide the greatest benefit.
The own slowness to become aware of is not so easy. IT decision-makers do not use do not always even the ERP in their daily business and to shortcomings so little discretion. Active ERP users are either accustomed or do not find the right ear. And annoyed customers often seek tacitly faster vendors.
In a global survey of Epicor ERP in the past year showed: Only 9 percent of surveyed 1,500 ERP users consider their current ERP system as simple and user-friendly is. For 35 percent, it takes too much time to their ERP system provides the information available. Nearly half wanted an ERP, which provides the necessary information easily and quickly if needed. Improved responsiveness is therefore - unsurprisingly - the most important argument for future ERP investments.
