Cloud ERP: Three Reasons Why You Can’t Afford to Wait

This new report from the Aberdeen Group examines the importance of ERP for wholesalers and distributors, illustrates the reasons these organizations may select a cloud solution, and the benefits such a solution provides.

In today’s rapidly evolving business environment, the ability to quickly adapt and change is critical.

In the past ten years, 70% of the Fortune 1000 companies have vanished.

These companies were not agile enough to adapt to change - be it new business opportunities or new, more efficient business processes that would bring them closer to their customers.

On the flip side, companies that barely existed ten years ago are now industry leaders.

Many of these new companies have taken advantage of the technology disruptions that have forever changed the business landscape.

Disruptions that include:

  • The ability to quickly scale and extend applications in a rapidly changing business environment
  • Software that’s easy to use and configure, and will always be current without going through an upgrade process
  • Continuous real-time visibility into operations
  • Access to applications anywhere, anytime on any device
  • Social tools that enhance collaboration with employees, customers, suppliers, and partners

The question to ask yourself is - can your current business applications take advantage of these disruptions?

In the next three years, will you be in the driver’s seat as your market evolves, or will you be forever trying to catch up as others disrupt your market?

Change is hard, especially when it applies to an organization’s business applications.

It’s easy to come up with reasons not to change - “We don’t think we have a problem we need to fix” or “We think we can patch our current solution” or “Changing the solution will cause even more pain or cost too much.” But can you afford to wait?
