ERP vendors are reporting an increase in ERP spending in direct response to the confines of the credit crunch. Ironically it is the bleak financial climate that has spiked this change in buying habits as companies look to maximize ROI and minimize wastage.
Phil Nicholls, Managing Director of eMerge said; ERP buying habits are changing, this is evident in the downward trend marked by dwindling license revenues from the larger, more unwieldy systems like SAP. These difficult times are forcing companies to look for better value and return on investment from any implementation as they attempt to minimize costs.
With eMerge, businesses are able to enjoy a greater degree of post implementation agility without having to invest in a solution that leads to a cycle of need-spend-need-spend. Users are able to update and change the system themselves, long after the implementation is complete.
