Six Game Changers About SaaS ERP:
Plex Online Brings a New Approach to Manufacturing Software
It’s a grim statistic. Researchers recently found that manufacturers implementing legacy, on-premise Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems face a high likelihood that those implementations will be delayed, that the systems will cost more than estimated, and that the solutions will deliver unsatisfying results.* Further compounding the problem is that costs quickly escalate out of control. Manufacturers face steep and ever-increasing licensing, implementation, customization, annual maintenance, and upgrade fees. To add insult to injury, those same researchers find that today’s manufacturer has just a 50 percent chance that users— those on the shop floor or at the shipping bay— will actually use the application. In short, manufacturers are burdened with costly, cumbersome ERP software nobody wants to use.
“Plex Online changes the game by enabling real process improvements.”
Beyond Traditional ERP
Over the last decade, the innovative Software as a Service (SaaS) delivery model has evolved to let manufacturers move beyond traditional enterprise software. It’s a game-changing approach that lets the enterprise avoid costly licenses and complex hardware and software infrastructures. Leading manufacturers use the Internet to access systems that are deployed and maintained off-premise, and enjoy ease of use as well as industry-leading security and connectivity.
