Due to factors such as cost and scale, it is especially important to develop a specific ERP strategy for your business before you make the move to implement your solution. After all, you wouldn’t buy a house before having an inspection done or getting your financial affairs in order. It’s the same premise with ERP software.

Making sure that your entire company is on the same page when it comes to product design is pretty tricky. Cloud PLM software is a great way to stop communication and process errors in their tracks. These solutions provide heightened visibility and workflow checklists to ensure everything is done right the first time. An example of how these programs can be used is by allowing different teams to approve product designs. This means that if the financial team doesn’t sign off on the cost of a design’s material, the production team would then move on to developing a list of substitutes that could be used instead.

Wading into the waters of ERP software for the first time can be tricky. However, it gets even more difficult when you realize you have to bring a team of blindfolded coworkers and managers along with you into its murky depths.
