How ERP-One’s Managed Services can help you get the most from your ERP investment.

The Role of an ERP

When companies first implement an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, they hope to accomplish important goals, such as:

  1. Implement best practices for operational efficiencies in the delivery of key products and services, allowing for cost savings
  1. Gain a competitive advantage through the use of analytics to be able to update current client offerings, and provide new offerings using fast, agile and cost-effective approaches
  1. Focus on their clients and key customer offerings with minimal distractions from their Enterprise Operational systems and processes.

Supporting an ERP

We understand how frustrating it can be to have invested in an ERP but you're not able to use it to its full potential, or if you’ve hired a managed service vendor, they’re not addressing your actual needs. ERPs are complex systems that require in-depth expertise and intensive care and feeding, leading to these challenges for some organizations:

  • It is difficult to keep up to date with the changes and new capabilities in the software packages that are available
  • It is difficult to find time and develop the skillsets needed to effectively implement those new software capabilities to the needs of the organization
  • It is difficult to keep up to date with the new wants and needs of clients, as well as new industry best practices, then build solutions based on those evolving client wants and needs.

Sound familiar? You're not alone. That’s why we simplified our process.
