Uniconta South Africa CEO Keith Mullan says businesses must adapt quickly as ageing business systems (ERPs) fail to meet today’s business demands. And to survive, he says, leaders need to modernise and find more effective ways to run their businesses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The global ERP market is expected to grow at a compound annual\ngrowth rate (CAGR) of 7.45% to US$49 billion by 2023. Market Research Future\nsays this massive adoption of ERP software is largely due to increased\ntransparency and operational efficiencies expected from organisations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is also a high adoption rate for affordable cloud-based\ndeployment models, which is currently driving the growth of ERP software\nmarket. Cloud ERP software offers more flexibility to businesses and is\ndesigned to help customers streamline their business processes, accelerate their\ngrowth and connect all aspects of their business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Uniconta is a Cloud ERP system for small and medium size\nbusinesses, specifically developed to help companies work more efficiently,\nfaster and achieve their business goals easier. It is designed for businesses\nthat need fast access and security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mullan says modern Cloud ERP solutions enable management to obtain\na complete real-time view of their business anytime, anywhere. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThese systems can also be easily accessed via mobile devices like\nsmartphones and tablet,\u201d he said. \u201cThis alone provides a huge competitive edge;\nit enables efficient and smooth functioning of the business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMany companies are still running costly legacy ERP systems and they\nurgently need to review the cloud subscription-based services. Cloud ERP\nrequires minimal or no hardware and also no services associated with the\nmaintenance of these costly systems.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ERP is no longer an IT or accounting decision, it’s a business\ndecision that affects the entire organisation. All stakeholders need to be part\nof the decision-making process, especially if they want to improve revenue,\nreduce costs and mitigate risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To remain competitive, it is crucial to implement tools that\nintegrate business systems and provide visibility across the full scope of the\nbusiness. The right tools will ensure increased collaboration and enable smart,\nfast decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cloud ERP software can save businesses a huge amount of money.\nHowever, Mullan says that business leaders need to ensure the new system is a\ngood fit for all and very often these decisions are made at senior level, with end\nusers not being consulted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere is no doubt that Cloud ERP is changing the way businesses\noperate,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe only question that needs to be answered is when the right\ntime is to move to the cloud. While there are many traditional businesses that\nstill have reservations in converting to the cloud and security remains the\nbiggest concern for them, those businesses that adopt the cloud will be streaks\nahead of their competitors.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
