We recently asked the CEO of a large multinational organization why they were changing their ERP system. “To improve our business processes,” he replied, stating one of the most widespread drivers companies have to change their ERP systems. As you evaluate your ERP system with regard to business processes you should first assess the level to which any bad business processes are forced on you by your ERP system; and then identify the number of sidebar systems users have created to work around your ERP. If you find significant process issues in these areas, a change to a modern ERP system may be beneficial to your organization.
