Walking through the corridors of any enterprises adopting new, disruptive technologies or transformative system solutions and chances are that you are bound to hear the quiet murmurs from workers on how unnerving some of the experiences can be as the status quo is dismantled and everything that is familiar is purged in place of a new regime. It can be a bitter pill to swallow at first, but the eventual benefit is exponential. As many enterprise system solutions provider strive to position and differentiate themselves from their peers and while there are a handful of genuine stars, IT systems implementation is also largely a business process change management exercise that requires tremendous project management capabilities and an innate interest and knowledge of the respective industry.

Any ERP Solution providers with experience in building ERP solutions, warrant the necessity to be beacons within the specific domains and a heighten awareness of the unique challenges besieging enterprises within their respective ecosystems. It is not uncommon to hear of plans taking a wasteful U-turn due to the failure of some vendors to grasp the finer nuances that exists between industries, even individual client needs. Over the past decades the environment have changed markedly and this poses new obstacles for businesses including bulging operational expenditure, softer demands and the rising tide of competition, not to mention for many, staving off foreign players (solution providers). However, this also presents tremendous opportunities where the right system solutions can help accelerate growth, bolster fledgling businesses and even launch new business models.

A fluid and ever changing customer behavior compels enterprises to think about how they can react faster, with a more efficient go-to-market model. Business processes starting from sales order to the last-mile including deeply entrenched practices would need to be reassessed and re-engineered to wean out wastage. Being constantly at the forefront of any new technology and then the willingness to swiftly embrace it and put the investment dollars where it matters most, is certainly a prerequisite that all enterprises should not do without. It is this vital ingredient that is needed to survive in today’s business landscape where only the leanest and nimblest can thrive.
