For many in Pakistan, the word ‘ERP’ conjures up an image of an extremely high priced and complicated set of applications that only a few understand and whose services only big organizations can avail. The general feeling is that the managers of SME companies are wary of ERP and ask ‘Can it be implemented for a small company like ours?’

SMEs are reluctant to invest in an ERP package as they are not too sure about the following: Implementation Time, Ease of usage by its Employees, Flexibility for Changes and of course Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

With the present economic recessionary environment around the World in general & in Pakistan in particular, Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) which have been running on very thin bottom line must look at various avenues to reduce their costs and increase the operational efficiencies. Notwithstanding the benefits an ERP may provide the IT and business executives of SMEs face the challenge of convincing the stakeholders that this is an investment towards an ability that provides better productivity which would help lead to better profitability, market share and / or customer service.

MAISON Consulting & Solutions & Microsoft Pakistan are once again coming together to address the issue of educating the SME companies with the importance of having a competent ERP & CRM System which can lead to a substantial reduction in cost.
