Switch, cloud, or both?

Swapping tier one for two on a cloud – the ERP business case is changing fast.

01 March 2011

Some regional and global companies are ditching tier-one ERP systems and implementing cheaper tier-two solutions, even though the switch will usually be an intense exercise requiring reworked business processes and workflow.

In the last three years, Strategix has seen European companies with tier-one ERP systems replacing their South African subsidiaries’ ERP systems with cheaper tier-two solutions, and getting similar results from a production point of view, says Jaco Stoltz, MD of Microsoft Dynamics products implementer, Strategix. This approach is very attractive where the subsidiaries have lower productivity and turnover than the parent company, which may then spend its ERP savings on the subsidiary’s business operations instead.
