How to cut through the ERP project prioritisation queue

How much does it frustrate you when long prioritisation cycles hinder even simple requests like displaying new data points, which already exist inside your ERP? 

You're not alone in that frustration, because lots of companies seem to be experiencing an ERP project overload.

ERP systems are often the backbone of business operations, but the projects related to use the inherent data, updating or integrating them, tend to get stuck in long prioritisation queues. ERP projects and large projects often take up so many resources that other data projects are pushed back even though they make a lot of immediate sense for the business. If you already have the data and just need to display it, you really shouldn’t have to wait months or sometimes even years to get it done.

Asked to queue?

The prioritisation queue backlog delays critical digital transformations. But what if there’s actually a way to move forward without waiting?

Recently, we spoke to someone who wanted to display new data points to customers. They already had the data, but their prioritisation cycles gave them an 18 month wait AND they were asked to take the project through a major business case first. Because, let’s face it, large (risky) business cases, security, and compliance cases tend to win IT prioritisation over small solid business cases.

So, what to do?

Months turned to days

Our middle layer ingests raw data from multiple sources, including (legacy) ERPs, and provide it in a structured, highly available, performant, and flexible format that can be used across your digital platforms and particularly for your customer experiences. This means that while your ERP team works on big projects, you can continue to innovate and deliver superior user experiences right now – without sending loads of requests to the ERP system.

And for the aforementioned company, that meant they could display their data in just a few days, with minimal effort on internal resources.

Enterspeed’s middle layer delivers infrastructure, high availability and excellent performance out of the box, enabling the enterprise to identify data sources and push these to Enterspeed, and then the rest is handled with a few lines of code: safely, compliantly, and efficiently.
