True Cost of an ERP
The licence price is a small part of what a system costs. Enter two offers and we work out what you’ll actually pay over three or five years, and when the one that costs more up front becomes the cheaper.
Cost in detail
What we count
- Once
What you pay once
Implementation and setup, data migration, training and customisation, plus the time your team spends on the project. We add a margin, because these are the items that usually overrun.
- Yearly
What recurs every year
The per-user subscription or the maintenance on a perpetual licence, plus support, hosting and add-on apps, with user and price growth if you enter them.
- Break-even
When the cheaper option changes
The system that is cheaper at the start can become the more expensive over the years. We add up the cost year by year and tell you in which year the cheaper option changes.
