Outsource specific core ERP functions: the Armony Apps approach to modernizing your IS

Outsource specific core ERP functions: the Armony Apps approach to modernizing your IS

In most industrial organizations, the ERP is the central foundation of the information system. It centralizes critical processes, implements management rules and guarantees the integrity of reference data. Over time, however, the ERP also becomes the focal point for specific developments essential to the business: dedicated screens, additional controls, special workflows, interfaces adapted to certain roles.

 

These specific solutions, integrated directly into the ERP core, end up generating difficulties that are well known to IT Departments: increasingly complex operation, long and risky version upgrades, high maintenance costs, increased dependence on rare skills, and a technical debt that slows down the evolution of the IS.

 

The question is no longer whether to be specific, but where and how to wear them.
