Your business isn’t usual, so why rely on business-as-usual ERP tools?

To keep pace with rapidly changing business demands—and to make technology work for them, not against them—many manufacturers, distributors, service providers, and mid-market enterprises are realizing it’s time to make a change.

They need to let go of traditional accounting software and legacy enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems and embrace cloud-based enterprise management solutions.

The inability to execute real-time data collection and analytics, and the lack of flexibility and scalability are just some reasons that businesses find they can no longer succeed with traditional ERP.

There’s also the issue of support: organizations adopting “old school” ERP systems often find they must purchase ad-hoc solutions to meet the needs of different business units. These tools don’t always integrate well with the original solution, leading to costly issues like “scope creep” and business process obstructions.

Make an informed decision

Deciding to move to a cloud-based enterprise management solution is easier than choosing the right technology for your business. But a new ebook from Sage, Move Beyond ERP, offers tips to guide you through the process. To name a few:

• The top enterprise management benefits that organizations typically seek to gain by replacing outdated legacy systems that won’t support future growth or help drive innovation.
