ERP selection 4th July 2024 Electorate (UK) PLC have been somewhat wrong-footed on learning that Blue ERP have announced end-of-life support with just six weeks’ notice. Whilst they have been less than happy Blue ERP users since 2010 they are now faced with a very tight deadline to decide whether to renew their current contract with the promise of long-awaited upgrades and improved service levels or look at the alternatives. Many still remember the harrowing times when they were previously using Red ERP which was not without its issues and eventually began to fail them. This led to the decision to implement Blue ERP in 2010. This though, initially, did not have all the functionality required and needed an interface to a supplementary Orange ERP system until there was a Blue ERP upgrade in 2015. Further fixes applied to Blue ERP in 2017 and 2019, combined with several changes of product manager, have not delivered the improved operational performance that had been expected. It is a dilemma with many competing and conflicting demands which is compounded by the simple truth that no one really knows what they want. This plays into the hands of the various ERP parties who are happy to promise everything and anything in order to ensure they win the selection decision. Many users feel, quite understandably, that the mainstream ERP parties, dominated by Blue ERP and Red ERP, have failed their users for far too long. This gives some hope to Orange ERP and other minor parties such as Green ERP, National ERP, and other niche players such as Reform ERP. Some other users, realising that a completely different approach is worth a try, are advocating a more radical strategy by considering Flatpack ERP which provides a far more accountable and independent way of working. #independent #flatpack
