Many companies still think holding off on supply chain improvements when planning enterprise resource management (ERP) changes or upgrades is best practice. But today, that is no longer required. Advances in metadata management, data integration and cloud-based applications mean all important supply chain operations upgrades can be undertaken either prior to or concurrent with an ERP upgrade.

Highly reliable cloud computing offerings combined with dramatic improvements in data integration and mapping mean upgrading your supply chain operations solution first, before your ERP platform, is realistic—even preferred. This is particularly true when integrating multiple ERPs into a single solution.

This eBook outlines how cloud-based supply chain operations solutions give businesses the power to harness the benefits of an improved supply chain while simultaneously upgrading, integrating, and/or replacing aging ERP installs.
