For most organizations, the sheer scale and complexity of an ERP implementation drives them to external service providers. However, after spending fortunes on an implementation, many organizations fail to realize the value of their IT investment. The incremental costs of ERP upgrades and installs are typically higher than the incremental benefit derived.
Organizations today are moving from a traditional high-end ERP implementation to newer, smarter alternatives, such as BPO, hosted solutions, and even open-source. These buyers are wary of putting down a large amount of money and weigh all their options before committing.
While there has been a lot of hype about ERP-SOA solutions, these may not always be the best solution. BPO vendors and hosted solutions are posing a serious challenge to traditional players in the ERP market. At Avasant, we filter through the hype and objectively weigh all the options out there to find one that meets the unique needs of your organization, thus ensuring you get value for your investment.
