We’re often asked to help purchasing and finance professionals develop the business case for on-demand eProcurement, in the face of a corporate directive that the ERP system should be used wherever possible.
As a result we wrote a white paper that covers the ‘7 Key Considerations’ to take into account when making this decision, but those considerations aside the main driver that we find is that buyers and users simply aren’t interested in where the solution sits – whether in the ERP system or not – just so long as it delivers. And, perversely, that’s why they are looking to on-demand.
Long experience of delays, high cost and poor usability make the online alternative – where complex purchasing systems can be delivered quickly, cost-effectively and with the emphasis on intuitive use – the clear choice for the actual system users, rather than the guardians of the ERP system.
If you’d like to read more on this, please request white paper that specifically addresses the pros and cons of on-demand vs ERP – register here and we’ll send it out to you.
