ERP systems have proven themselves to be useful in almost any industry. They are so useful, in fact, that they are beginning to be viewed as a cure-all. What you must remember, though, is that while ERP systems are definitely amazing tools, it is important to remember that they are just that – tools. Like all tools, there is a right way and a wrong way to use them, and you can’t use an ERP system correctly without getting some knowledge beforehand. Once you’ve decided to use an ERP system, you need to dig into what’s working and what’s not working within your current system setup. Otherwise, you will choose the wrong ERP software and fail to improve your business processes.
