ERP Curveballs: Cost, Customization, Cloud

Cover Image

Don’t believe the hype: Enterprise resource planning isn’t dead. In fact, it’s come a long way in its 50 years of existence. Today’s ERP applications are on the move, running nearly every part of all kinds of businesses, from social media startups to banks and construction companies. With that expanded role come new hassles, with trends like cloud and mobile having a real—and significant—effect on the technology. Take ERP customization: Once an unavoidable, expensive necessity, it’s going out of style. When you’re forced to add layers upon layers of customization to address a melting pot of issues, the most common goal of ERP implementation—uniformity—is sacrificed.

This issue of Business Information offers readers a roadmap for tomorrow’s ERP, while also pin-pointing the detours they will encounter while traveling to the cloud. Readers can expect pointers from organizations ahead of the curve, with ERP systems already in the cloud—why they made the switch, why they would recommend others do the same and what advice organizations should follow to be successfully transition. They will see firsthand the recurring problems facing ERP users—and benefit from expert tips on solving popular issues with the complex software.

The trip may be full of twists and turns, but with these directions you’ll find that tomorrow’s ERP isn’t so scary after all.
