Does an ERP implementation make sense for your business right now?
Some industry analysts predict that, because of current economic conditions, companies in the UK & Ireland will avoid investments in new ERP software in 2010 & 2011. However, our research tells a different story. Here at MXI, we are seeing an increase in the number of businesses wanting to use the downturn as an opportunity to use available resources to implement new enterprise software for their business. According to our research, we have found that 55% of business are planning either to start or continue implementing new ERP systems in 2010.
There are several reasons why many businesses see 2010 as an ideal time to select and deploy new ERP enterprise software. First, a slower economy affords companies the opportunity to use their resources and employees to help implement their ERP system quickly and correctly. Second, because many ERP software vendors are aggressively pricing their solutions in response to a slowing economy, our clients are now able to procure an ERP solution at a lower cost than in years past. Finally, there are winners in every downturn or slower economy, and this one is no different. Some clients are still continuing to grow despite, or as a result of, the current economy, and these companies are investing in enterprise software that can help them scale for growth.
According to our research, the main reasons companies implement ERP are: to improve business performance, to replace an old ERP or legacy system, to increase efficiency, and to standardize global business operations.
