The Big ERP Question – Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne may be the Answer

The allure of ERP is immense. But as any other business decision, you should have a strong business case to advocate it as being valuable for your organization and also justifying the huge capital to be invested. It may need time and effort, but don’t force it. If you’re just doing it to get on the ERP bandwagon then that intent will be very visible when you’re trying to justify the reasons why you’re actually going for it.
ERP software is used to streamline business processes by many companies but some also benefit just from revamping their business processes without the need for ERP. Businesses should weigh in how ERP will be of profit to the business after all the costs involved.
There are risks too. Budgeting overruns and role changes together with processes being overhauled could be issues that must be looked into. If you’re ready to tackle the risks, then you’re ready to implement ERP software into your business.
