It’s an understatement to say that 2020 was a challenging year for businesses, manufacturers, supply chain and distribution organizations. Disruption was the name of the game. Companies with on-premise legacy ERP systems struggled to make changes quickly and were hampered by the need for employees to work remotely.
Companies that were already equipped with a cloud ERP system had the flexibility, the agility, to better deal with all of the disruption from COVID-19. Being cloud-based allowed many of their employees to work from anywhere, with secure access to the systems they needed. Some manufacturers even switched their product line completely, if only temporarily.
A cloud-based, more configurable ERP system enabled these changes, without requiring a programmer to spend hours (or days) rewriting systems and processes.
But you don’t need a pandemic to realize that your ERP system is not keeping up with the fast-paced changes in technology, your business, and the needs of your customers.
If you’re still struggling with yesterday’s ERP; a system that doesn’t fit your business anymore, that is several versions behind because re-customizing the upgrade is too time-consuming and expensive; it can feel like you’re stuck in an ERP tar pit.
The good news is…
ERP Experts are well equipped and knowledgeable of new technologies that have made today’s ERP drastically better than yesterday’s ERP. In early 2020, analysts like Gartner were already predicting that the “changing nature of ERP” is giving companies new and exciting opportunities to transform how they do business and improve efficiency by leaps and bounds.
The changing nature of today’s ERP brings with it an increased flexibility and ease of customization. Cloud ERP, with the likes of Microsoft Dynamics 365, SAGE Cloud, Oracle NetSuite and SAP Business One puts much more power in the hands of the user to make changes and tailor the application to your business
