ERP transformation made easy - avoiding potential risks

Is your ERP system equipped to deal with times like these?
The first part of our blog series ERP transformation made easy is all about the unfavourable consequences of waiting too long to upgrade an ERP system.

When ERP systems become obsolete, it is noticeable that they are usually implemented in a silo principle, have a product or service focus or are purely system-focussed. However, the essentials have often not been taken into account - the focus on the customer. Are you worried that your Dynamics NAV system will soon be obsolete? Are you thinking about switching to the cloud or updating to the latest version?

Is your ERP system well equipped for times like these?

The first part of our blog series ERP transformation made easy is all about the unfavourable consequences of waiting too long to upgrade an ERP system.

When ERP systems become obsolete, it is noticeable that they are usually implemented in a silo principle, have a product or service focus or are purely system-focussed. However, the essentials have often not been taken into account - the focus on the customer. Are you worried that your Dynamics NAV system will soon be obsolete? Are you thinking about moving to the cloud or upgrading to the latest version?

We summarise this in ERP Transformation.

Identify your major system flaws in good time and don't remain in the status quo for too long, otherwise you will be overtaken by your competitors!

Are you avoiding investments in times of COVID to play it safe?

Are you not paying much attention to the topic of ERP transformation during this special time because you don't want to invest any budget in it at the moment? We can well understand your current situation as an SME. However, you should ask yourself whether future investments in your old on-premises ERP system will even pay off in the long term.

Many companies neglect the maintenance of their ERP system and rely on an outdated tool that cannot keep up with current solutions either technically or in terms of flexibility. As a result of these shortcomings, this inefficiency paralyses processes and prevents potential profits from being realised.

Are you struggling to achieve your business goals efficiently?

Are your thoughts wandering more and more frequently around the topic of Business Central Transformation? But you don't know exactly why and, above all, how best to transform your Dynamics NAV solution to Dynamics 365 Business Central? Are you still a long way from where you want to be with your business goals?

With an outdated ERP system, growth potential remains untapped and the ROI for selective improvements to the old system is permanently in the red. There are therefore several good reasons to consider an ERP upgrade as soon as possible.

Keeping pace with technological change

In the market environment of ever faster global economic digital development, agility is the be-all and end-all. However, older ERP systems eventually reach their limits, as the implemented functions are no longer sufficient for future strategic and structural alignment. With your ERP as a cloud model, you benefit from ongoing updates and the latest system functionalities and no longer have to worry about annual software upgrades and technical support for this process.

A SaaS solution therefore saves you IT hardware and software costs. A subscription-based model converts traditional technology expenses into operating costs, which can have a positive impact on your cash flow flexibility. Cloud services also tend to be more secure than on-premises servers. Stringent monitoring and security requirements are in place to ensure you maintain enterprise-wide data protection.

The crucial step to maximise your business success
