Why you need to Switch to New-Gen ERP Software

ERP software systems are the need of modern working cultures today. Not that you cannot run the business without having these in your organization, but you probably are missing out on great opportunities, while being super busy in managing every little task manually. Also, you might waste your talented and skillful resources in the mundane tasks when they can actually be used for making business strategies. So, the fact is that you can obviously opt to not have ERP in your organization, but, having the same adds greater efficiency and accuracy in your business processes.

But, like everything comes with an expiry, there’s a clause with this statement too. The ERP software must function well to help you with your business functions. The ERP software is generally bought after recent research only, so they help the organizations. Although, if the software is out of date, or is not as per the modern working needs, there’s absolutely no use of having it in the organization.

We are here talking about the old/legacy systems. Legacy systems are no less to be called as automation software only, although they require high maintenance to be able to function as the one.  Let’s understand this thing deeply by considering a few things that legacy systems or your old ERP software cannot do. 

1. Real-time Updates

Modern Businesses require up to date information about the company to make wiser decisions timely. Old ERP software may be good at creating the data reports but, fetching the real-time data out of the same remains a question mark. This is rather the best thing about Modern ERP software solutions; they can render you detailed, real-time insights of your business to help you with effective decision making.

2. Data Analysis

No matter how efficient your old ERP software is, there’s something that goes missing from the ERP software made lately, Data analyzing capabilities. If you have an old ERP software, the possibility is that you must be spending extra on additional Business Intelligence software, or relying on business analysts for the meaningful report generation. Had you switched to the modern solution, this money could have been saved. Modern ERP solutions generally have in-built BI capabilities that can help in analyzing the business data as and when needed.

3. Mobile Application

Today, users need to be more informed and want to feel connected to the business at all times. This is however not possible with the old ERP software that doesn't support mobile access. New-age ERP software on the contrary renders you complete access to the mobile applications, using which you literally shift your business to an absolute remote location, and can operate any business activity efficiently, keep an eye over all the in-house operations and can share the critical information with enhanced security.

4. Easy Maintenance

The older your ERP is, the more maintenance it requires. To keep the ERP working, you have to spend a little extra on its maintenance and upkeep as well. However, the new age systems, especially the Cloud ones require no IT, hardware and maintenance cost.
