Not using an ERP yet ?

Midsized business typically appear to be very reluctant to adopt an ERP. Various factors may contribute to this, funds being an often-cited reason. We believe that the most important reason is a lack of knowledge about how ERP can help. There are many myths about ERP, that come in the way. 

erp

This was true to some extent till cloud-hosted ERPs on pay-as-you-go model came on the scene. There are no fixed overheads other than the periodic subscriptions. There is no server hardware that you need to maintain. Where is the question of payback, when your ERP cost is only a recurring expense!

Business processes are very similar across industries in areas such as inventory, sales, purchasing etc., although could be subtle variations from one entity to another. ERPs like Crest ERP are designed around a generalized set of business processes. Often called ‘best practices’, these can be easily adopted by a large chunk of entities.

This was an impression created in the early days of ERP, when general computer literacy was low. Quite the opposite, most of today’s business users will be at home with any ERP, with some training and practice.

There was an acute shortage of trained ERP consultants in the early days of ERP, especially with the high-end ERP for large enterprises. ERP now has a good skill-base, with widespread adoption by businesses. Not only have the software become better in general, implementations are also quicker because of the expertise available.

Far from it ! Today’s workers are tech-savvy, especially with the widespread use of smartphones. It is much easier to train today’s workers. They understand the benefits of using software, and automation. They know that software can help them perform their jobs faster and better.

Every user has access to only the data they actually need, not the entire data. Most importantly, no user has to ask around for data from other departments. Crest ERP brings departmental walls down, nobody can hoard data. Restrictions can be placed on downloading and printing the screen, if required.

Growth in business volume and activity levels are natural in high-growth businesses. Crest ERP is designed to handle high transaction volumes. Furthermore, the Cloud infrastructure is infinitely scalable. Additional resources will be automatically available as demand rises. Unless there is a very drastic change in the size of the business, there’s no need to consider moving into large enterprise systems.

Business processes originate differently in different organizations. There is no universal standard process library or data dictionary for business, except those offered by Crest ERP and similar software. However, since the basic type of transactions in all businesses remain closely similar, a package like Crest ERP can be adopted easily, without any dilution in process rigour. On the contrary, ERP brings in more structured processes, with necessary checks and balances.

However, we can customize processes in Crest ERP, if the need is very strong. It would cost extra time and money, and may delay the implementation. Avoid customization as far as possible.

 

Can’t a simple accounting package keep us going?

Missing the 'Big Picture'

Accounting systems only keep records, not drive the business in ways that help in perform better, and grow.

Accounting is a 'by-product' for ERP!

ERP systems make accounting entries automatically, when the required ‘event’ has happened, such as invoicing a sale.

Passive systems

Accounting systems do not keep track of business transactions in terms of the activities performed by the various components of the business: its people, assets, machines, plants

Data, data, data...

ERP systems generate vast amounts of data in highly scalable relational database systems. This data can be used for detailed analysis and give managers the insights for better decisions.

Not designed for process management

On the other hand, the entire focus of ERP Systems is on driving business processes without interruption. You will find almost all day-to-day processes in an ERP, with a continuous thread running from beginning to end.

Not built for scale

Accounting systems are not designed to handle high transaction volumes, or a large number of users. They can become a bottleneck for growing businesses.

Comparison

Cloud based Software

  • Cheaper upfront investment
  • Predictable costs over time
  • No additional hardware investments (e.g. Server infrastructure)
  • On-Premise Software

  • On-Premise Software
  • Requires Upfront investment
  • Requires Investment in Hardware, Software, Resource and IT costs
  • May end up spending more money over the course of system’s life cycle
  • Cloud based Software

    • Complete management and maintenance of the Hardware and Software is with the vendor and the client is completely relieved of this pain

    On-Premise Software

    • Ongoing IT support required for periodic maintenance of Hardware (Application and DB Server) and Software
    • Daily Back up should be needed

    Cloud based Software

    • Application and Database security is the complete responsibility of the Service provider
    • Cloud service provider can leverage economies of scale to provide security beyond what a client can own and implement

    On-Premise Software

    • Security of the application is the responsibility of the Client and this would increase the IT costs to implement the applicable tools and services

    Cloud based Software

    • As it’s a COTS – Commercially Off the Shelf product, best practices are incorporated a part of the product.
    • Approach here is to “Client Adoption to the Standard Product” . Hence no Customizations are entertained and hence the Implementation time is less

    On-Premise Software

    • Typically, the approach here is “Product need to adopt to client needs” and hence the implementation time will be high as there would be demands for product customization

    Cloud based Software

    • Cloud service providers offer scale of services very quickly and at a very competitive cost

    On-Premise Software

    • Scaling the application is the responsibility of the client and the cost of scaling is comparatively high

    Cloud based Software

    • Cloud service providers have dedicated teams for compliance to readily meet and maintain the compliance requirements

    On-Premise Software

    • Client need to worry about ensuring compliance with all laws and regulations that apply to their business

    Cloud based Software

    • Restoration and meeting the SLA is the responsibility of the cloud service provider and the service provider will provide 24×7 support to take care of this

    On-Premise Software

    • If there is an Outage, then it’s the complete responsibility of the client to restore the application and the business continuity is in the hands of the client

    Should your business get an ERP implemented asap?

    Overall sluggishness in ops

    Business lost due to poor tracking of customer enquiries and orders, and tardy fulfilment

    Collection delays hurting cashflow position; perpetual working capital shortage.

    Production affected by material shortage, high material wastage and loss in production

    Costing is inaccurate and prices are not profitable.

    Valuable shopfloor time lost in wrong planning and scheduling.

    Frequent machine breakdowns; heavy repair costs bleeding the business.

    Business owners themselves do not know how good the business financial health is.
