As 2019 moves forward, much can be said about the ERP technology enhancements that are in the pipeline and making waves. Not only are companies able to do more with less, but they are able to take advantage of all that these ERP systems offer now and into the future. As you look to update and expand your ERP offering, consider these trends to watch for in 2019.
Small And Midsized Business Adoption
In 2019, there will be a quicker adoption rate of ERP systems by small and midsized businesses that may have steered clear of the technology in the past. The added capabilities and the lowering cost of ERP have made it possible for more companies to easily integrate the technology without fear of disrupting their operations.
A Two-Tiered Approach To Integration
With any ERP system, the more you can prepare from the backend the better the response will be from the technology. Expect to see vendors partner up, and make multiple software systems work together to create an ERP that can perform beyond expectations with readiness for future expansion. The use of a two-tiered approach to ERP will mean more for companies that are looking to make an investment that will help their business grow into the future.
A Focus On The Customer
Where ERP systems failed in the past is their lack of focus on the customer. Going forward in 2019, more ERP technologies will be dedicated to making that customer experience memorable for all the right reasons. It will now be easier and more effective to interface with your client base. ERP systems will integrate new customer-focused features that can drive your business forward and help you achieve the success you have been searching for from the technology.
ERP Customization
As more businesses look to integrate ERP systems into their day-to-day operations, customization is key to getting it just right. More ERP vendors will offer a solution that fits each company individually, offering that perfect suite of products that pairs with your business needs. Personalization of an ERP can provide the ability to make these technologies custom to your operations, giving you the flexibility and efficiency to have the software mold to your business.
Commitment To Security
With security breaches becoming a real threat to businesses all over the nation, using an ERP system that is protected can provide that added layer of security you have been searching for. This will become a priority for companies that are looking to add new software without assuming any risk that could put their business operations or customers in danger. This will become the new norm as vendors work diligently to offer added security measures that keep ERP data safe.
More Features And Functionality
There will also be a move to add more features, functionality, and capabilities to the ERP systems that companies are looking to integrate into their operations. There will also be more bells and whistles on EPR software that businesses can take advantage of and now have a reason to upgrade with. With an ERP offering that provides added options, companies will invest if it saves them time and money with the integration.
User-Friendly Interfaces
The technology interfaces that ERP systems use will get a facelift in 2019 as they become more user-friendly for those that work with the technology. Gone is the outdated look and feel of this software as vendors focus on providing an interface that is useable and attractive to its users.
