Have we entered the era of disposable ERP?

摘要

The selection of an ERP system has traditionally been viewed as a five- to eight-year decision. But the reality is few are replaced within that time frame unless the choice of systems was limited by budget or foresight, resulting in limited functionality. The average age of ERP implementations in companies under USD50 million is just short of eight years. By the time a company reaches USD100 million in annual revenues, the average age plateaus at 10 years.
