  5. Evaluate the Technical Fit It is very important to understand how a potential ERP solution will align with your current infrastructure. Also, consider the availability of support technical resources in the organisation. Local or Cloud One more important consideration is whether to install locally or go with a cloud-based system. Both have its own advantages, a local installation will generally have a higher upfront const, but lower ongoing maintenance fees. On the other hand, a cloud-based install, has much lower upfront costs, but higher maintenance fees. It is important to select the right option as per the business requirement. http://mycfo.in

  6. Customization Many companies are in niche industries not easily served by off-the-shelf software. You need an ERP system that is designed from the ground up to allow in-house customization and configuration to serve you a better result. Some ERP systems, such as Dynamics NAV, are specifically designed to allow easy extensibility and customization. Integration If your business relies on specific software, such as Microsoft Office/Outlook or any other software, picking an ERP system that integrates with your existing software can save you both time and money. http://mycfo.in

Below are the important factors to consider when choosing the right system. - Which trends are going to monitor over next five years? - What kind of information, do you need to retrieve? - What type of analytics do you need to access? http://mycfo.in
