Today the main challenge businesses face is the difficulty in improving business efficiency and employee productivity. The main factor behind this is existence of disparate systems for managing different business processes leading to data duplication and affecting overall efficiency.

At times the systems also face handicaps of scalability with business growth, flexibility to adapt to fast changing business environment / operations and unclear picture of operations. This makes it difficult for people to collaborate within organization, as well as with customers, partners and suppliers.

ERP has been a panacea for these for some time now. But till recently it still had perceived lacunas like

• Huge initial investments on license, hardware, infrastructure, resources and implementation
  
  
• Ballooning deployment costs ranging from 40 lakhs to 2 crores 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: This always made the benefits it brought take a backseat.
