Your current technology could be nearing end-of-life for product support. This means it will no longer be supported at some point by the vendor in the near future. This fact is a primary reason companies explore transitioning to a new ERP or CRM.<\/p>\n<h4>Factor Two<\/h4>\n<p>Is your business growing at a fast pace, or are you growing through acquisition? <strong>The legacy technology you use may not be scalable or flexible enough to handle these situations when you grow rapidly.<\/strong> Your diversification into other products or service areas may also drive your need for systems modernization.<\/p>\n<h4>Factor Three<\/h4>\n<p>Legacy technologies can create compatibility situations. If you want to upgrade an application or a piece of your infrastructure, there is a possibility other parts of your system will not be compatible with that upgrade. <strong>Take a more in-depth look at your system and determine if additional upgrades and updates need to happen before you make any changes to your CRM or ERP.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4>Factor Four<\/h4>\n<p>Are you exploring migrating from a heavy infrastructure reliant system to a cloud solution? A lot of organizations get to the point where they have accrued a lot of tech debt. They end up behind on patches and updates and can&#8217;t maintain systems cost-effectively. This may be a driving factor in considering a cloud ERP or CRM solution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you deciding whether or not to upgrade your ERP or CRM system?
