How to choose the right ERP system for your organization?

An ERP is a big decision. It touches every department, and it is hard to reverse. That is why the decision should never start with comparing product brochures.
Start by documenting your core processes: sales, inventory, purchasing, and finance. Identify who is responsible for each step and what reports management actually needs. These answers become the requirements your system must meet.
Then compare systems against those requirements — not against feature lists. A simpler system that fits your processes well is better than a large one you will reshape your institution around. And always ask about the cost of customization, training, and support, not just the license.
