01 ERP and SaaS ERP concept
Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems are the backbone of many businesses, helping to manage accounting, procurement processes, projects, and more across the enterprise. For many IT departments, an ERP system typically represents a large, expensive, and time-consuming deployment , and may require significant hardware or infrastructure investments . However, the advent of cloud computing and software-as-a-service (SaaS) deployments has changed the way businesses think about ERP. By migrating ERP to the cloud , businesses can simplify technology requirements and achieve faster return on investment.
ERP cloud solutions are mature products with all the same features and functionality as their on-premises counterparts. Additionally, the cloud deployment model enables easy integration with other key technologies such as mobile applications, decision support systems, and collaborative and social systems . Cloud services are gaining popularity among leading enterprises as they require applications with modern capabilities while avoiding the overhead of IT infrastructure, maintenance and upgrades. The integrated suite and cloud platform have excellent high performance and scalability, high reliability and higher security, which can ensure the successful operation of the SaaS ERP system.
02 What kind of predicament is traditional ERP in?
One sentence summarizes the dilemma of ERP: the cost is too high, but the value is unstable.
(1) High cost
1. Burn money, high economic cost
The initial cost of traditional ERP system implementation is high and difficult to control, and the cost of system maintenance is high and difficult.
Take the old foreign ERP software SAP as an example, super large enterprises use SAPS/4 HANA, or the traditional BusinessSuite ECC, the price is basically more than 6 million.
2. Time-consuming, high time cost
During the construction of the ERP system, the business line of the enterprise is likely to change. This will inevitably lead to a great reduction in the applicability of the core plan established when the project was established. The consumption of human, material and financial resources caused by this inconsistency is an unpredictable figure.
The ERP system construction, especially the ERP construction of large-scale production enterprises, the construction process is extremely long, and the construction period is often half a year . In the case of electric power, petrochemical, and financial systems, it is more likely to take as long as two or three years .
(2) Difficult to land
Although traditional large-scale ERP software vendors have very standardized strong ERP implementation methods , in the context of our country, it seems that they cannot fully meet the actual needs of enterprises.
In the process of implementation, many factors, such as the rapid development of the enterprise, the high and low level of implementation consultants, the low level of enterprise management, the low quality of personnel, insufficient implementation funds, and poor training, will make it difficult to implement ERP .
It even often happens that " enterprises cut their feet to fit their shoes and add extra manpower in order to use ERP " .
A senior practitioner in the traditional manufacturing industry "suffers from ERP" :
I have worked in a traditional factory for nearly 10 years, and there are more than 100 kinds of screws alone. Each screw specification is divided into five, six, or even seven or eight length specifications, and it is divided into left-handed, right-handed, and even divided into materials... The key It is very troublesome for workers to get screws. One can get two screws, one package and two packages can also get two packages. Day shift and night shift. A small warehouse needs at least five or six warehouse managers to arrange shifts. Several warehouses need a lot of people, which is too wasteful. The cost is high, and traditional software is really not suitable for traditional machinery factories.
03 So how to make traditional ERP SaaS? How to install ERP in SaaS system?
Under the general trend of enterprise digital transformation today, choosing an ERP system should pay more attention to the combination with the actual needs of the enterprise, emphasizing flexible delivery and rapid deployment.
Therefore, for small and medium-sized enterprises, considering cost considerations, what should really be done is to return the ability of enterprise digitalization to business personnel .
