Third Party ERP Resources Need Proven Search Application
October 22, 2012
When it comes to enterprise resource planning, many companies turn to third parties for support. However, deciding when and why to implement a third party for maintenance and support can be confusing. The article “Third-Party ERP Support: When It Makes Sense” on Enterprise Apps Today helps in the decision-making process, commenting that organizations should consider the variables of cost, complexity of customization and upgrades, and legal considerations.
The article highlights that companies should weigh the options:
“Third-party ERP support is probably not a good choice for companies that consider it important to have access to a vendor’s current version, patches and updates, Scavo says. However, ‘I think there are plenty of examples of companies that have gone off maintenance and at some point in the future decided to come back to the vendor for an upgrade. It’s very hard to imagine a situation where the vendor will not take that customer’s business back,’ he says. Doing so might save you money.”
Regardless of which route is best for your company and situation, it is evident that effective ERP planning requires a good search application. Intrafind offers a cost-effective means to maximize access to data and can help make the best of a third party ERP resource for search with feature rich capabilities such as secure search and semantic linking.
