Overcoming hurdles in digital transformation
Organizations face challenges in customizing ERP solutions to their industry, multi-sourcing tools, or paying for additional reporting.

The analysis found that over three years, there was a benefit of 466,000 dollars versus costs of 178,000 dollars (Net Present Value of 288,000 dollars), with an ROI of 162 percent.
Key findings included:
- Reducing the need to hire finance and operations employees.
- Increasing productivity.
- Eliminating more than 44,000 dollars of third-party reporting.
