What the Ultimate IEM solutions can offer:
- about 146% of the functionality you really need. How to know, what you need?
Get the answer.
- about 95% of the functionality you have not thought about, but that would be useful for your business at this very moment.
- and not less than 75% of the functionality your business will need in the medium and long term. Provided its successful development and exponential growth (actually, we will help you with this).
- We also have a dime a dozen of those things that your business most probably will never need.
The absent but desired things, as well as the aspects not implemented the way you envisioned them, undergo their completion in the background during the implementation process.
The tolerance for these finishing touches and customization is already included in the time/money calculations you see in the project configurator manager.
This will be all you need to know about the Ultimate IEM solutions’ functionality at this stage (see more about the project implementation stages).
Implementing an ERP-system is as different from the purchase and installation of another Windows version or an anti-virus package as a purchase of a pair of jeans at an outlet differs from a custom tailoring of a suit.
There is a difference in the process per se, as well as in the costs and the result quality (provided, of course, the tailor has all the necessary expertise).
You can’t ask the tailor to demonstrate you the suit that has not been made yet, can you?
Neither can you try the suit on before it is ready.
On the contrary, it will be the tailor who takes all your measurements, and you will see the result closer to the end of the creation process — at the final fittings.
Due to the very same reasons looking through the "functionality" of your future ERP-system is of no use at the stage of product selection. Just because first of all it is necessary to answer the Core Question: what kind of functionality your business really need, and how this functionality should be implemented.
It is only natural that when you assign your tailor with such a responsible and expensive task as making a suit, you have to trust his expertise and business reputation.
Where does this trust come from?
A possible source could be the recommendations given by people you know.
Or you might be aware (from some other reliable sources) of multiple instances when this tailor successfully crteated high-quality suits — and the facts proving the opposite are next to none.
The possibility to pay after the successful fitting of the already made suit makes the client feel even more on a safe side.
However™.
But there is still an alternative with regard to the suit custom-tailoring: you might happen to buy a ready-to-wear suit, and it won’t fit you - to a bigger or smaller degree.
Besides, the ready-to-wear suit can also be tailored/fitted (to some extent).
As to the purchase of some abstract ERP-system with a Very Wide Functionality ("it fits your needs ideally, and we have the most perfect best-practice anyway, don’t even think of changing anything, thousands of implementations all over the world"), we have an allegory taken from the once famous anecdote:
- I would like to offer my latest invention to your company. This is a shaving machine. The client inserts a few coins into the slot, then sticks his head into this hole, and two razors start shaving his face automatically.
- But each person has an individual face structure...
- Well, yes, but only before the first use of the machine.
P.S. But anyway, the functionality of Ultimate IEM solutions, described in the true British spirit of the famous car manufacturer in his heyday, would look like:
Ultimate IEM solutions.
Functionality — sufficient.
More than sufficient.
