Replacing an ERP system can be a major factor in competing against your competitors, helping you to manage your increasing cost of raw materials and at the same time the constant pressure to reduce your prices.
Picking the right time team to evaluate a ERP software package is critical most companies teams consist of senior IT management, along with selected senior representatives from each area of the business with one person from the board to help balance the IT departments functionality choice with a business decision choice such as will the IT vendor be around in five years time, doing a full compliance exercise on the vendors financials and business model.
Where most companies go wrong in their ERP review is not selecting a senior person from each dept and changing their mind on what they want half way through a project, in some ways this is an IT vendors dream come true by the time an ERP project has gone live the original budget has doubled.
