Executives and mobile ERP: A close relationship!

Let us consider a device, an application or a service that we recently used, but the experience was not as expected. Certainly, this is something that most of us have experienced once at least.

Now, let us consider a busy executive and all the daily tasks, problems and pending issues this person has to handle, and then think of a solution that would be exclusively designed for the purpose of accomplishing the exact opposite results of what we described above; a truly intelligent solution with a great number of practical and useful features. Information is a vital part of an executive’s daily life. Nevertheless, many executives still require their subordinates’ help in order to collect and analyse data and make strategically important decisions. So, there are inevitable delays in the decision-making process, while there is also the risk of ending up with a distorted view of reality, which can lead to both expensive and negative business consequences.

The notion that executives do not have the necessary time to comprehend and familiarize themselves with the operation of their business’ complicated ERP system, actually diminishes their ability to evaluate data without help or delays. But, in the modern business environment, things are getting done extremely fast, and any delays in decision-making could actually prove rather catastrophic. Whether executives know it or not, direct and immediate access to ERP data can truly change the rules of the game. That is why more and more organizations realize that most of the data that will probably offer them the business intelligence they need, reside in their ERP system.

This is where the “intelligent” mobile ERP comes in the picture. With such a solution, executives can have direct access to their ERP business data, and consequently to their business, anywhere, anytime and virtually with any device. Mobile ERP users can switch devices and so, executives can use a variety of mobile devices they are accustomed to. Additionally, the increasing need for regular and in-depth access to ERP data has encouraged software developers to suggest solutions offering comprehensive access, with no restrictions whatsoever in terms of location or time.

In short, the mobile ERP technology offers the following advantages:

1. Quicker and better-informed decisions, thanks to having access to data from virtually anywhere
2. Ease-of-use and practicality, since executives can search and retrieve updated, real-time information that they can further process
3. Simple and intuitive charts that help executives choose how to present information
4. Ease-of-use, regardless of the device or platform.
