Breaking free from bloated add-ons that were said to be "impossible

~26/03/05 - In-depth Case Study of an ERP Changeover in a Company with Sales in the Hundreds of Billions of Yen

2026/03/05 (Thu) 16:00~

The annual increase in maintenance fees for foreign ERPs and the high cost of version upgrades at the time of renewal are forcing many companies to consider replacing their systems from a cost standpoint.
Many companies have no choice but to consider replacement from a cost standpoint, but add-ons that have built up to the scratch level over many years of operation have become a barrier to
switching.

In this seminar, we will introduce the project of a company with several hundred billion yen in sales
that got out of this situation and decided to replace their ERP with Fit to Standard, in depth and in-depth.
This is not just a success story, but a thorough and realistic account of how the business was reorganized and put into a form that can be covered by the package standard,
from actual episodes.
In addition, we will explain in detail how to proceed with the preliminary survey and its scope, and the promotion process from organizing add-ons to switching to standardization.

How did they sort out the "add-on hell" that seemed impossible to break out of, and how did they land on the policy of Fit to Standard?
We hope you will find this presentation useful as a hint for your own decision-making process and how to proceed.

Recommended for

  • Those who have been operating a foreign ERP system for many years and are having difficulty seeing the overall picture and the scope of impact due to the increase in add-ons.
  • Those who are considering replacement or renewal, but are unable to make a decision because they do not know "how much can be covered by standard functions".
  • Those who want to proceed with ERP renewal based on Fit to Standard, but are struggling with how to organize requirements.
