Our business solutions team answers our clients' questions about business solutions.

Question: We continue to pay maintenance fees for ERP software and hardware that we get minimal use out of. We have customized our ERP application to a point that we cannot take advantage of the upgrade, but are hesitant to drop support for fear that the system may crash. Are there any ERP applications out there that we can tailor to fit our unique business model while allowing us to keep up with upgrades and the latest technology?

Answer: We hear from companies every day that are going through the same frustrations you are. Many organizations continue to be held hostage by software and hardware vendors out of fear. We have been able to help companies such as yours implement new ERP applications that can be configured and customized and still be upgraded via new releases. Many of these companies are able to implement these new systems with much richer feature sets for less than they are paying for current application and hardware maintenance. We often implement Microsoft Dynamics AX for its unique ability to be tailored to fit specific business needs and still maintain a structured migration path without having to re-implement each time an upgrade is available.
