Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/4c8e31/optimising_erp_val)
has announced the addition of the "Optimising ERP Value & Spending:
Large Nordic companies 2008-2009" report to their offering.
The initial investment in an ERP system is only one part of the overall
investment made during the life-time of the ERP system. Much of the
total life-time costs of an ERP system is made later in the life-cycle,
such as upgrades, customisations and user training. It is therefore of
vital importance to consider how to optimise this ongoing spending and
keep improving the value derived from it.
Maximising benefits and minimising costs:
The main purpose of this report is to map out major value and cost
aspects relating to ERP systems in large Nordic companies. This entails
looking at such areas as how much is spent on ERP in relation to total
IT costs, satisfaction with costs and strategies for improving the
benefits derived from the ERP system.
Optimising ERP Value & Spending is designed to:
- Provide information on current and projected costs ratios for ERP
systems in Nordic companies, taking into consideration the scope of the
ERP implementation.
- Present the allocation of total ERP spending on IT resources such as
software and staff.
- Report on what ERP areas Nordic companies perceives to have the
biggest potential for cost-savings as well as how large this savings
potential is.
- Present the priorities of Nordic companies by showing what their ERP
objectives are and how they rank the importance of different ERP
attributes such as user friendliness and ability to integrate with
third-party systems.
- Show the companies’ satisfaction as a whole
with their ERP systems and with various aspects such as total costs and
contribution to company revenue
- Provide information on Nordic companies’
satisfaction with various cost factors regarding their ERP system such
as implementation, integration and support costs.
- Show the focus of the ERP investments by looking at the allocation of
ERP spending on various investment objectives such as increasing
business revenue.
- Provide information on what Nordic companies regard as the main
challenges to ERP success as well as the steps that they have taken
recently and will take in the near future to improve how their ERP
systems meet company needs.
