you are right… it takes thousands of pesos to implement ERP. We are using a customized ERP but its use has come to an end due to more errors and we are migrating to SAP…It really eat a lot of time on consultation and we even established a new department just to focus for the matter. Heads up high to all local ERP software developers!!!

cost really does matter when implementing ERP, and of course the support costs associated in maintaning it, other alternatives? perhaps open-source erp? is this possible? freelancers nowadays are quite hard to find since most or some of them are gone going abroad (hehehe..) support, awareness, education for businesses in laymen terms are needed if business are to prosper using erp.. (i hope got it right..)

the cost of the implementation (software itself) is usually the reason by local companies put off ERP. The bigger more mature companies will attempt to make of use it but honestly I’ve yet to see a true ERP implementation in Davao (meaning all modules working in synergy and satisfying most of the business processes). This is where local software developers and implementors fit in…provide the necessary expertise to bind everything together or provide the missing links (software-wise) to make sure the ERP modules adapt specific company processes . I don’t think it would kill the freelancer’s market btw…well not in the near future. Nice blog btw
