:Elevating your company
(and ERP system) to best in class
2 © ArmaninoLLP | amllp.com/microsoft-dynamics
To become best in class, companies have to start
thinking of upgrading their ERP as a business
evaluation process that takes place every 2-3
years, asking “How can we do this better, smarter,
faster?”
True leaders realize that ERP systems need to
evolve - just as business processes do. Otherwise,
the disparity between what processes your ERP
supported 4-9 years ago vs. what process are
actually in place today becomes monumental.
This is why best-in-class midmarket organizations
are 94% more likely to be on the latest release.
BEST-IN-CLASS PRACTICES FOR SUCCESS

Best in class organizations understand that upgrading goes beyond
the latest features. They know it’s about investment in the company,
its infrastructure and ensuring processes are always being improved.
WHAT MAKES UP BEST-IN-CLASS?

Upgrading ERP gives
companies the opportunity
to take advantage of new
built-in templates to support
their current and evolving
processes.

UPGRADED USER BENEFITS
Leaders are able to dedicate
time to improve business
strategy while incrementally
updating their systems rather
than addressing the problem
too late, which often becomes
a costly and even more time
consuming undertaking.

Upgrading ensures your ERP system is evolving in the same strides
as your business, matching functionality at an even pace with the
needs of your organization.

Waiting results in a system so
cumbersome that instead of an
upgrade, finance and operations
leaders must build a business case to
“rip-and-replace”−a far more costly and
disruptive process than incremental
upgrading.
ELIMINATE WORKAROUNDS / AVOID DISRUPTION
By choosing to upgrade as part of
overall ERP maintenance, business
leaders drive their companies to
eliminate many of the workarounds that
have become part of the “norm” and
address true issues hampering growth.
