The expectations are higher today than when the first dotcom bubble came about (and exploded). Today, IT tools are different, more advanced, easier to access and to adapt to explosive business growth. When it's time to scale up or when the big exit sign nears, "cloud-powered" small enterprises have everything in place to keep running the business in the new context. Or … maybe not?
As of 2015 we still see small businesses buy cheap, buy twice when it comes to the decisions about IT and software tools that help run business operations. At Cambridge Online we are and have been an active player for over 20 years in the ERP and CRM world. We see it is still common to see companies adopt consumer-grade software and then have to replace everything when it's time to go Enterprise. This is a wasteful practice that we think should not be commonplace when companies are born to grow fast and work through fast product development cycles, product launches, acquisitions, IPOs, etc.
What if there's another way?
A fully fledged ERP system can feel like overkill for many small companies. However, in the first years of high growth companies, many do buy or get SaaS accounting software, then add a basic CRM, then add a customer service suite, then a project accounting/management tool, then a reporting app, … the list goes on and the costs add up.
Our proposition is to go Enterprise early. Set up the Finance and reporting core and do it in a cost effective way: Group Buy with others in the same stage of the Start-up/Scale-up journey and enjoy the savings.
We build our ERP solutions on Dynamics NAV, Microsoft's leading ERP for midmarket companies worldwide. The Finance Management core is fully integrated with Project Management, with Warehouse operations, Order processing, Contact management and Human resources. These areas can be implemented separately and at your pace. Suited for companies from one to more than concurrent 1500 users, Dynamics NAV is the software you'll be relying on now and in 20 years' time.
It's time to go Enterprise. Read more, see prices *here* and register your interest today.
