A recent IT impact study reveals that high costs are the main barrier to ERP adoption for one in three organizations in wholesale, retail, and transportation sectors. While 22% of organizations are not using an ERP system, only 13% plan to implement one soon. In contrast, around 47% are already benefiting from ERP, particularly in manufacturing. Key functionalities like order processing, inventory, and financial management are valued highly. CTO René Altena argues that misconceptions about ERP complexity and costs are outdated, warning that neglecting modern systems leads to inefficiency and knowledge gaps over time.
Joan Smith, a decision-maker in wholesale retail, mentioned, 'Cost seems to be the biggest barrier, but ignoring ERP could lead to even higher operational inefficiencies in the long run.'
René Altena, CTO at Conclusion MBS, emphasizes, 'The reasons for not adopting ERP no longer hold water; modern systems are more affordable and user-friendly than ever.'
A report from the IT impact study reveals that 60% of manufacturers and 47% of retail organizations leverage ERP systems for better efficiency and management.
Another key insight from the study is that, despite 22% of organizations not using ERP, only a mere 13% intend to implement one soon, highlighting resistance to change.
