The challenge isn’t finding innovative enterprise resource planning (ERP) software; it’s narrowing your options down to a modern solution that effectively streamlines everyday work processes, follows regulatory standards, and scales with your growing business.

While it’s always good to start with a serious investigation of your business requirements, it’s also important to be honest with yourself and ask: “What processes do we do well and what do we need help with?” Once you’ve done an internal review, you can expand your research, see what the competition is doing, and what your customers expect.

When you’ve got a good grasp on your requirements and what processes you want to start with, you can delve into the ERP technology that meets your needs. Start by looking at where you are now, project where you want to be in the future, then find the ERP solution that will help you get there.
