Living with Legacy ERP: Upgrade or Replace?
Should you upgrade, or should you replace?
Unfortunately, there is no single easy answer to these questions.
The decision is a complex one, and may have different outcomes depending on the business environment, the age of the system being upgraded, the level of customisation and the nature of the newer version available. A structured and informed evaluation of the technical and business variables, as well as a detailed consideration of the costs and benefits of the various options, are important initial steps in making an informed decision. This should be treated as an important strategy project in itself.
Upgrade complexity can vary due to a number of factors which may contribute to making a clean slate looking much more attractive. It is not a quick decision, and warrants rigorous assessment. There may well be business drivers that need to be considered too.
