Mastering Your ERP Transition
ProCern steps in where your team needs reinforcement—without disrupting what already works.
Do you have an ERP system in placetoday with no plans to migrate ormodernize (as-is)?
If your ERP system is stable and meeting core business needs, change isn’t always the right answer. But maintaining an as-is environment can still strain internal teams.
There are many reasons to bring in third-party support:
- Resources leaving
- Vendor is not providing required support
- Current staff lacks required expertise
- Require added functionality to meet business needs
Do you have multiple ERP systems and require consolidation and integration?
If your organization is operating multiple ERP systems, consolidation and integration can quickly become complex, costly, and risky.
Ask yourself:
- How are you handling the consolidation of information at the corporate level due to separate systems in use today?
- Are acquisitions driving the use of multiple systems?
- Are you able to find the skill sets needed to support those systems, both internally and externally?
- Do you have integration processes for each time a new company is brought into the family?
- Are you finding it difficult to keep or find Staff to support multiple systems?
- With each of the legacy systems in place—do you understand where each of them may be lacking and supporting business functions or future business requirements?
Do you seek modernization without migration?
If you want the benefits of modernization without the disruption of a full ERP migration, there’s a better path forward.
Consider:
- Is there new functionality you're seeking that may not existnatively within your current system? (Example: BI, AI, Mobileuse, Web/Modern UI)
- Eliminate the risk, cost and time associated with typical migrations
- Eliminate unnecessary change
- Use your time focusing on building your business vs time consuming migrations
- Eliminate the loss of opportunity with time spent struggling through change when it's not necessary
- Deliver the data your users need at anytime, anywhere, on any device
- Preserve the years of investments made into your current system
If you have chosen a companywide "modern" ERP solution (migration to new system)...
- Are you finding it difficult to support existing systems while implementing the new system?
- If we could take the pressure off the existing staff so they can focus on strategic issues, would that help?
- Are you planning future acquisitions?
- What are your requirements for archiving and accessing legacy data?
Wherever you are today, ProCern helps you move forward with confidence.
