Warning signs you may be in need of a new software system
The ERP Needs Analysis Template helps identify whether your core operations and information systems show defining characteristics that indicate it’s time for a new software system. It doesn’t matter if you’re using an ERP system or small business accounting software. Or, you may be using a distribution or manufacturing solution. Regardless, the pains of ineffective software are universal.
Among key questions included in the analysis:
- Is your current software vendor no longer supporting your existing system?
- Have your maintenance costs increased year after year?
- Are you managing the core operational aspects of the business across numerous stand-alone systems that are barely integrated or not integrated at all?
Our software needs assessment template includes many more questions like these, helping you determine whether your software system is failing.
Using the ERP needs assessment for future project tasks
The ERP Needs Analysis Template also helps prepare you for future project tasks. It serves as a starting point for:
- Identifying key operational issues
