From scheduling production and monitoring real-time performance to reviewing costs and margins – these are just some of the everyday challenges facing meat manufacturers. Technology solutions like food ERP software are vital to operational success, but just as consumer demands change, so does technology.
Implementing Microsoft Dynamics 365 (D365) can revolutionise and provide immeasurable benefits to any business. However, it also takes a lot of time, planning and resource to be successful. Therefore, once it’s up and running, it’s important to make sure you’re getting the most out of it and maximising your investment. So, what needs to be done and how can you do it?
Dynamics 365 continues to evolve rapidly. Columbus’s digital advisors are here to give you a helping hand. Traditionally, apart from some regular maintenance and standard checks, a company’s ERP solution was left alone. It would then run reliably for years. It was also considered very risky and costly to implement major changes, so lots of companies postponed them for as long as possible.
Many companies can save a fortune on Dynamics 365 licences! What steps can you take? Most organisations work purposefully to eliminate unnecessary costs, and this can be a simple exercise. For example, you can quickly see if the number of meeting rooms corresponds to your needs, or if there are more company cars than managers. But it is harder to gain an overview of certain other costs.
Why you still need to take responsibility for parts of your Dynamics 365 solution. When infrastructure and business systems moved into the cloud, many people expected cloud computing would change how we work with IT systems. Many also hoped that operation, maintenance and administration would become significantly easier.
