I think the most common reason would have nothing to do with the pros and
cons of different ERP.
Companies get bought out, and end up with different factories having
different ERP within the same corporate structure. Upper management is
able to compare how the different ones perform, and if all things are
pretty much the same, or if they not bother to make the comparison, the
traditional rule is for corporate HQ to convert everyone to whatever system
being used by corporate HQ. In our case, when we were bought out, metrics
by the factories using BPCS were so far superior to that at factories of
the people who bought us out, THEY converted to BPCS. The alternative to
moving all factories owned by the same conglomerate to a single ERP, is to
get software that can intercommunicate between different ERP. Now I have
seen reviews of that kind of product. I not know how the long term costs,
pros & cons compare.
I think the second most common reason why companies would convert between
ERP when they already on a darn good one like BPCS, is because the vendor
does things to antagonize the client. We are in a reality in which there
are too many vendors chasing too few client $, and this can lead them to do
things that make clients angry enough to look for another ERP. We got to
this reality because today ERP is a mature industry. Once upon a time many
manufacturers did not have a computer system, or were using basics of ERP
to run their companies. This meant big bucks for the ERP vendors in
selling manufacturers to start using ERP for first time. That income
source is gone today, so vendors need new income models.
hi all ,
well i am new to this group and would like to know some of the reasons on
why a company would choose to migrate from a BPCS to a SAP ERP .
I also would like to get any information regarding websites where i can get
a comparison of these two ERP softwares
thank you
