{c} / {t} questions answeredExcel is enough for nowYour files still carry most of your work. If there are areas where you answered "Yes", sort them out now anyway; as the number of files and the team grow, these problems multiply fast.Time to plan the moveIn several areas your files no longer cope, and you're paying for it in time, mistakes and lost information. Don't change everything at once; consider moving to a system step by step, starting with the areas below.Waiting is costing you moneyThe problems aren't in one area; they're spread across the whole business. Every month you wait comes back as double entry, missing materials, profit you can't see and management time spent chasing updates.
How is the score calculated?
Each question scores 2 for "Yes", 1 for "Partly" and 0 for "No". 0–6 points means your files still carry the business, 7–14 means they fall short in several areas, and 15 or more means the problems have spread across the whole business. The areas where you answered "Yes" are listed as the ones to look at first.
An ERP or business management system brings all these areas into one set of records: information is entered once, everyone sees the same up-to-date numbers and reports come out on their own. But you don't have to switch everything at once. More on this in the Excel to ERP article.
Frequently asked questions
My score came out high. Should I buy an ERP right away?
No. First look at which areas the problems cluster in. In most companies one or two areas hurt the most; starting the move there lowers both the risk and the cost.
We're a small company. Is this for us?
Headcount matters less than how many places the same information is kept and how much the work depends on particular people. A 10-person company runs into exactly the same problems.
Are my answers saved?
