Shortlisting ERP software
Choosing the right ERP Software for your business
Software is like many other products. They are designed for a particular buyer and business type and size. Some have generic business appeal whilst others are built for an industry. Some products represent great value whilst others are overpriced.
Buyers should consider the following facts concerning business software ahead of shortlisting systems to investigate further.
- What type and size of business was the software developed for
- Is the product end of life or built on modern technologies and platforms
- Is the developer (Vendor) present in your region
- Is the software localized
- Does the product have significant market share to support meaningful vendor R&D efforts
- What is expected in the product roadmap
- How effective has the vendor been releasing updates on their published cadence
- Is the ERP system designed to integrate with other Cloud systems
- Is the system scalable (Users, data management…)
- Does the software offer any real ERP AI capabilities
- Who owns your data!
By seeking answers to these questions, you’ll find shortlisting products so much easier. It’s worth remembering that the Holy Grail for IT is not minimizing the cost of technology but maximizing the benefits from it.
