Key Opportunities for ERP License Cost Control
- Minimized Initial Costs: We help arrange low initial costs, avoiding over-purchasing unnecessary modules or user licenses.
- Controlled Ongoing Costs: We negotiate terms to limit cost escalation for subscriptions or perpetual license maintenance, a critical area of long-term vendor revenue.
- Flexible Future Pricing: ERP needs evolve, making it difficult to predict future module and user requirements—even in the near term. So its important initial agreements include clear, favorable terms for future purchases.
- Avoiding Cost Surprises: ERP vendors often introduce unexpected costs over time. We work to expose and mitigate these potential cost adders upfront.
When executed effectively, these strategies can reduce ERP lifecycle costs by at least 50%.
