Is your ERP system struggling to keep up? The way technology moves, many of our competitors are having a hard time staying current. If you’re with one of them, look out for the following weaknesses… none of which are associated with epic ERP:
Limited core functionalities
Your system might offer basic ERP functionalities for manufacturing and distribution companies but lack depth in core functionalities. For example, it could require additional expensive add-ons for core manufacturing operations.
Legacy issues
There are some ERP systems out there that suffer from legacy issues. If your system still relies on COBOL, for instance, it probably imposes inherent limitations that are being addressed very slowly.
Customisation and upgrades
Making changes or adding new features to an older ERP system can be cumbersome, often requiring someone with programming capabilities to sort it out. Upgrades to these systems can be painful, and the responsiveness from support is likely to be spotty.
Reporting and dashboards
The standard reports on many ERP systems need to be heavily modified to be Excel-friendly, and the dashboards are very limited out of the box. Customisation of dashboards often requires knowledge of VBScripting or Crystal Dashboard Designer. This can make it difficult to adapt the software for your specific needs.
Support and implementation
There have been complaints about support on our competitor products being hit or miss, with response times often taking an unacceptably long time. Additionally, issues with implementation processes have been reported, such as lack of engagement during project initiation and poor communication.
User experience
Some users have reported a poor experience with other systems, particularly with the implementation process. Issues such as lack of engagement from the implementers and inadequate project initiation documentation have been highlighted.
