Start-Up

An ERP system will drive the exponential growth of start-ups

"It's often more difficult for start-ups to find the right ERP solution and then implement it due to such company's having a strong growth mindset."
- Dr. Harald Dreher.

State of the industry

Start-Ups have different needs and problems than more established companies.

Start-Ups have different requirements and needs when looking for an ERP solution compared to long-standing, more established companies.

The implementation time for a new ERP solution can often be shorter for Start-Ups, however greater emphasis should be placed to ensure the right solution can scale with the anticipated growth and development of the company.   Additionally, supporting programmes are often more diverse and used as individual solutions rather than as part of a larger IT landscape.
