Why ERP Health Check is required

An ERP health check and measurement of your system’s maturity is as necessary and regular as a check-up for the things that run us and our lives – our bodies, the car, the furnace, even the fridge. We need to be as honest about the systems that run our businesses as we need to be about the other things. Face it, they may be “getting up there” in age.

Your ERP system is at the core of your business. Taking measure of its maturity and performing an ERP health check can provide your company with an evaluation of the value of and risks within your system, and an assessment of your company’s overall performance. But how do you begin and what factors must be accounted for and measured to help you decide if it’s the right time to move forward with a new or upgraded system?
