A recent Aberdeen report shows that small organisations are reaping the benefits from ERP software.
The myth that ERP software is only for large businesses is now being challenged and laid to rest.
According to the report those that postpone, delay or decide against implementing ERP software underperform even the worst of performers of those with ERP in terms of process, organisational and knowledge management capabilities.
1,100 SMBs were involved in the report which gathered data based on Q4 2009 and Q1 2010. Early 2010 showed marked optimism amongst SMBs and plans for growth were a key focus.
Growth expectations have always been a key business driver for those seeking to implement ERP software, along with customer service and the need to reduce costs, all of which are still the most distinguished triggers.
Almost half of those SMBs that haven’t invested in ERP software attribute this to
the fact they have been able to function effectively without one in the past, though almost half of them doubt they will be able to continue to do so into the future.
When asked what would trigger them to take the plunge the availability of low cost options and both explosive and growth beyond a predefined threshold were the most common.
Based on the fact that SMBs are becoming more optimistic, concentrated and motivated by growth a surge in the uptake of ERP software by them is anticipated.
As businesses grow, without the implementation of an effective ERP solution efficiency and growth suffers.
With SAP B1 having been designed specifically to meet the needs of SMBs, any reservations with regard to whether your business may be too small for an ERP system, may not benefit or may not be able to afford one have been conquered. Those not yet convinced should watch this video!
