Almost every ERP project starts with a list.
A list of reports.
Interfaces.
Custom developments.
Additional fields.
Workflows.
And often, the first request is:
“This has to work exactly the same way in the new system.”
It’s understandable, really.
After all, much of it was built up over the years. The more interesting question, however, is: Do we really still need this today?
Many extensions weren’t created because they provided a competitive advantage. Rather, it was because there was no better option at the time.
A new ERP system therefore offers a rare opportunity.
Not just to modernize processes, but also to get rid of dead weight.
From our perspective, every extension should therefore be able to answer a simple question:
What specific added value does it still provide today?
If the answer is clear, then of course it belongs in the future.
If not, perhaps it’s the right time to consciously let it go.
And that’s exactly what makes ERP projects so exciting.
It’s not about taking as much as possible with you.
It’s about making the right decisions for the coming years.
Which extension would you probably no longer develop today
