14 Sep ERP. Software or a Business Philosophy?
The software your company uses is a direct reflection of your business philosophy. Giving your team the best available tools required to accomplish their tasks seamlessly and collaboratively is vital in the new business ecosystem. Using standalone solutions that isolate the different departments in your organization might be holding back your progress.
Of course, at times it may feel like you are saving a Rand or two by using legacy systems that you are accustomed to. Better the devil you know, right? However, the opportunity cost of running your business while focusing on the rear-view mirror may be all the missed opportunities you may be overlooking. Enterprise Resource Planning provides you with a wider, more holistic view of where you stand, where you have been, and where you may be heading.
