An ERP Solution helps you overcome these challenges and

move forward…

You can go for On Premise ERP (traditional) or Cloud ERP

• Difficulty in improving business efficiency and employee productivity

• Organization Silos – Disparate systems for managing different business processes

leading to data duplication and inefficiency

• Current technology or systems that

• cannot scale up to a growing customer base

• lack the functionality to support daily business operations

• is inflexible to changing and highly competitive business environment

• Lack of visibility in your operations

• Globalization paradigm - Difficulty in effective collaboration with geographically

dispersed customers, employees, suppliers and partners

• High cycle time

www.ramco.com |

But a traditional ERP poses these challenges…

• Huge initial investments on license, hardware, infrastructure, resources and

implementation

• Ballooning deployment costs ranging from 9000 SGD to 450000 SGD depending on

the degree of complexity and customization

• Additional costs on implementation, installation, and data migration is 3-4 times more

than the original cost of the ERP package

• Unreasonably long implementation time ranging between 8 and 18 months, with

60% of implementations overshooting project time by over 50%

• Unwanted functionalities imposed as additional baggage with 70% of the companies

use only 26% of their ERP functionalities

• Rigid model that forces changes in business models with changes in market conditions

and makes exit a complex process

• Maintenance - Tedious job of deployment for each new product version

• No guaranteed ROI
