Software Advice, an ERP software consultancy recently conducted a study, which investigated ERP system purchasers. The study analysed a random sample of prospective ERP buyers, the findings give insight to the decisions and motivation of other ERP buyers.

Key Findings:

1. Two-thirds of buyers do not currently use an ERP system, and 44 percent rely on a combination of disparate systems to execute ERP processes.

Microsoft Dynamics NAV hosted in the cloud is the solution we generally recommend to businesses looking to purchase their first ERP system. This is due to the reduced upfront costs (because investment in hardware is not required) and increased accessibility (you are able to access your ERP solution from anywhere and any device).

2. Fifty-nine percent of buyers cite the need to improve the integration of data between different business processes as a top reason for seeking an ERP system.

Microsoft Dynamics NAV will significantly improve the integration of your business data. From Business Intelligence, EDI, Web based Purchase Order Systems, Web based Expense Claim System, Bonded Warehouse tracking and reporting and many more Jigsaw developed NAV Addins.

3. Forty-seven percent of all buyers cite the need to improve their customer relationship management (CRM) database as a reason for wanting to purchase an ERP system.
