ERP – now or never?
The decision to implement an ERP system is usually made in one of two ways: by asking “How much does it cost?” (a cost‑based mindset) or “What value does it unlock?” (a value‑based mindset). When you stay only in the cost‑based mode, ERP looks like a big expense and it feels logical to “push it to next year”, while a value‑based view shows that the average ROI from ERP is around 150–400% over 1–3 years, making it one of the most profitable investments a company can make.
