Not All ERP Systems are created equal, especially if you have contracts with the government.
Government contracts require functionality many "out of the box" ERP systems lack. Government requirements add complexity beyond many entry-level systems. Still, with the proper planning, implementation, and training, disruption to your business can be minimized while adding advanced features required to meet your contract requirements.
The best systems will help you navigate the challenging world of government contracting, keep you compliant and be intuitive to the user. If you are using an entry-level system and considering upgrading, here are the top five things you should consider when evaluating ERP systems:
1. System compatibility: Choose an ERP system compatible with your other software, hardware, and applications.
2. Cost: Consider the total cost of ownership, including purchase and implementation costs, maintenance costs, and ongoing support costs.
3. Functionality: Evaluate the features and modules available and select an ERP system that meets your current and future business needs.
4. User-friendliness: Consider the ease of use of the software, and select a system that is intuitive and easy to learn
5. Security: Ensure the system is secure, with robust authentication and encryption protocols.
