ERP, CRM, PMS

The general idea is to make companies more productive and efficient. Technology has gotten us to that point but sometimes it is hard to determine if the cost outweighs the benefits. Even though these ideas are great, sometimes companies are in over their heads. There are usually a great deal of problems that they run into. I have a few of them listed below:

1. Resistance to change
2. No management support
3. Not enough money in the budget
4. Unorganized and lack appropriate people
5. Bad choice in equipment

These are just the few but there are plenty more that tend to interfere with these systems.

There are pluses to these systems
1. More centralized system
2. There is more control
3. Better security
4. Less likely to have data loss
5. In the longer it will lower costs

These are just a few of the advantages and disadvantages of having these types of systems.
