21 Reasons to upgrade your ERP

Outdated processes. Slow reports. Disparate data. Too expensive to maintain. Does this sound like you? You’re not alone. These are common challenges that older ERP systems are causing, and they’re not going away.

Regardless of what industry you are in, at some point you start wondering whether you should make the switch to an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system or upgrade from the old platform.

Creating Business Smarts @nabeelmahmood As you evaluate the effects of your current software on your productivity, you need to keep in mind certain factors. It is important that you assess if your business processes have become less efficient or if the system lacks functionality. You should also determine if your business requirements have changed throughout the years, which could be one of the reasons why your existing system is no longer valid.
