There is some free ERP software available in Hong Kong. In many small software niches, open source ERP options are available for free. Most free versions, however, only allow for a limited number of users and have caps on available storage space. Because ERP software requires extensive, complex processes and technical support to run effectively, companies soon realize that there are no free lunches when it comes to choosing an ERP system.

Since free solutions tend to be simply and less powerful than those with a cost, complex operations may require that you purchase an application. This is why the expression ‘there’s no such thing as a free lunch’ was coined. Therefore, it is more important to launch the ERP project in a way that will help your team maximize its benefits while minimizing unnecessary costs.

A new ERP system will have a huge impact on your business, and the most important factor when evaluating systems is knowing how much it will cost. When companies evaluate ERP products, they must overcome several challenges in comparing costs. The cost of an ERP system varies greatly, depending on such factors as the size of your organization and what features are required.

Before buying an ERP system, analyze its features and capabilities to check that they meet your needs. Successful ERP systems are those that match companies’ needs, helping employees work efficiently. The more complicated your requirements are, the higher the cost of development will be. Estimating the cost of an ERP system is complex and can only be done accurately if you know your business requirements. It is especially important that a business’s ERP software be compatible with any other programs used by the company — such as HR or CRM (customer relationship management) systems.

Don’t let this difficult task hold you back. An ERP system can provide significant, long-term cost savings and increased efficiency for your organization.
