System Migration

No matter what business or industry you are in, at some point someone will ask, “Is it time to change our ERP, or should we continue with our current system?” This is not an easy question to answer. If you decide to keep your current system, you risk falling behind technologically and functionally. On the other hand, if you decide to change your ERP, you will be faced with making a large investment, undergo varying degrees of disruption to you organisation, and risk a failed implementation. 

Whether you are looking to improve your reporting capabilities, update your technology to gain technological advantage, improve your integration or reduce your cost of ownership, IMS experience and advice is second to none when it comes to changing from one system to another and we can help with your system and data migration activities.
