Why Should SMBs Implement ERP Software System? (Terro Dashner)

Should SMBs consider implementing ERP software system? If you are wondering what SMB and ERP means, let me explain it here. SMB is the short form of small and medium-sized business and ERP is the short form of Enterprise Resource Planning software system. Coming back to our question, should SMBs consider implementing ERP software system? The answer is YES. SMBs should start implementing Enterprise Resource Planning software. There are so many advantages attached to this. But before we get in to all those, let's see more of Enterprise Resource Planning. As the name indicates, this is meant for Enterprises. This software is all about managing and planning resources. It works with a centralized database so that inter-department communication is achieved without a difficulty. Information is exchanged between departments in a quick and efficient manner. For the same, the overall performance of a company can be improved tremendously with the help of Enterprise Resource Planning software system.

However, we can see that such a system is more suited for a large or mid-size company as they have so many resources and complex business processes to handle. Large enterprises have this need to control all their resources since they have numerous employees, departments, business processes and office spaces to handle. Having a centralized system to handle all these is a necessity for large or mid-size companies than a small company. Moreover, the cost of the software is also very high. Most of the small size companies won't be able to buy the software considering the price. On top of it, small companies don't have to worry about numerous employees, offices or departments.

They know that they don't have too many departments or business processes to take the help of Enterprise Resource Planning software. Therefore, most of the SMBs don't have to worry about having Enterprise Resource Planning system. But is that really the case here? Let me tell you, this is a completely wrong perception; SMBs should start implementing Enterprise Resource Planning software. There are plenty of advantages attached to it. Let's see them below.

On top of it, you will never know when you will expand your business in future. You might need Enterprise Resource Planning sooner or later. If you implement one now, the cost will be less compared to the future implementation where you will be obviously dealing with a more complex scenario.

If you have implemented Enterprise Resource Planning, you can avoid the future need to develop it from scratch. You will only need couple of developers who can maintain and upgrade the system. Moreover, it takes close to 2 years to implement new complex Enterprise Resource Planning software system from scratch.
