ERP is Hard…The Right Partner Makes All the Difference
Modern ERP, for you – just the way you need it…
Let’s face it, ERP systems are hard and can be a huge investment for any business. We’ve seen it over the past 20 years through thousands of implementations. Sure, it might work for a few, but most small or medium sized businesses (SMBs) don’t want to invest hundreds of thousands of dollars up-front in a new system. Plus, your people need to use it and from our experiences we have found that the successful projects are the ones where our clients are learning hands-on along the way.
Modern ERP & the Crestwood Academy:
The Crestwood Difference…
We are changing the way ERP is done. We know ERP systems are hard. It is amazing software, and solves so many high-level organizational problems, but the old, traditional method of implementation doesn’t work. You commit to a long-term, expensive contract where the system is set up for you by experts. Then, you’re supposed to “Go Live” and use this great new system. It’s like buying an expensive car but you don’t know how to drive. The “Go Live” can be frustrating and painful.
A decade later, we see the quick and inexpensive tactic. Promises for a system for a low $ amount and “Go Live” in a few days. So, unless you’re an ERP expert, and your business is NOT unique, you’re left with something that you don’t know how to use and doesn’t fit your business.
Crestwood is committed to your success, so we are changing the way we do things. We have designed a program to ensure the success of our clients.
