Guidance
Changing or upgrading an ERP system is daunting enough. There are so many considerations.
It is generally accepted that patching and upgrading our systems regularly is important to keep up with software changes, new features to suppress system inefficiencies and prevent security threats. However, they can also cost time and more money.
Upgrading from a much older version might also require hardware, O/S and other system-critical software upgrades e.g. database server, dynamic search engines, bolt-on solutions, reports, etc.
These in-turn, must be fully tested by end-users in a segregated test environment. So, that will introduce more workload for your employees and system network.
How do you measure the gain from upgrading now versus deferring this for another year or so? Perhaps considering the time and expense required for an ERP upgrade, it might be worth switching over to a new ERP solution altogether?
