When it comes to the latest technology, many organizations can find themselves overwhelmed. This is particularly possible when you consider the sheer number of options on the marketplace and the hoops that need to be jumped through to justify a new investment.

A recent article from ITWeb Business features an interview with Stuart Scanlon, the sales and marketing director at New Era Solutions. He spoke about how this idea helps when it comes to enterprise resource planning (ERP).

He mentioned that with the current economic pressures, manufacturers, distributors and service-based organizations cannot run the risk of becoming complacent when it comes to managing operation costs.

On top of that, companies are no longer able to take months to react to market changes as speed has become the name of the game. This is where having real-time access to meaningful data through an ERP system becomes a major benefit for organizations, which has become a mature solution.

"IT trends do drive investment in ERP, and this is evident in mobile and ecommerce," Scanlon said. "Organizations that have not yet started to consider either of these two technologies are quickly finding themselves behind the late adopters and will need to play catch up as their competitors move forward."

The same can be said for nearly any technology solution or business management software. More organizations need to start adopting the latest innovations to improve operations and efficiency. With the help of a third party solution provider, any organization can take steps toward successfully deploying these programs.
