Challenges of Legacy/Traditional ERP Systems

In this modern day and age, the ERP is a one of the most important software solution for any business and organization. However, one of the biggest problem with traditional ERP solutions is their complexity, rigidity, and longer development time. In fact most of the ERP projects, almost 70% of them turn out to be not fully aligned with the technical scope, project timelines and cost. That is the reason businesses often hesitate to rebuild, replace or even upgrade/customize their ERPs. Instead businesses try to bypass or develop middleware tools, to supplement the deficiencies. However, this results in many inefficiencies and difficulties in functionalities and collection of business intelligence data.

Studies revealed that most of the ERP projects take longer time to complete, cost more than anticipated, and deliver fewer benefits than planned. Furthermore the complex integration also adds up to the cost and undermine efficiency. The high implementation cost and other technical obstacles prevent businesses to customize, upgrade or replace their ERP solutions. Eventually this results in different teams of functions having separate tools and information silos, which can greatly undermine the data-driven decision making. Despite the technical bottlenecks and high implementation cost, the ERPs also face other problems and over the time tend to lag behind.

The market trends and customer demands change rapidly, businesses have to improve their workflows, internal processes and methodologies more frequently. However, the ERP solutions are not capable of keeping up with this pace, which render them outdated, inefficient and expensive. The revolution of AI (artificial intelligence) and emergence of customized AI Agents turn out to be the ideal solution for such problems and are very capable, flexible and future proof.
