Many top-level software companies offer robust feature sets that can completely change the way your company or department does business.
How an enterprise platform like SAP will handle ERP versus a competitor like Oracle will be completely different, and new system adoption can lead down a very rocky path as your team members adjust to new software and processes.
Most companies rely on a complex tech stack that works to service all portions of their business operations - from telecommunications, to content management, marketing automation to enterprise resource planning. When you’re considering a new software adoption, it’s worth taking the time to understand how that new platform will impact your existing tech stack and what the true cost of adoption might be.
It’s also possible to purchase enterprise platforms that create more problems than they’re worth by forcing widespread adoption in order to be effective.
Consider how many people and departments will be using the software, what internal changes you would need to make in order to adopt it, and if that changeover is good for the long-term health of your business operations.
