Long Business Systems, Inc. (LBSi) recommends a budget amount to implement ERP software

Okay, so you know the software, maintenance and server costs, do you know the cost to get the software up and running?

LBSi has been selling, implementing and supporting ERP software solutions since 1989. Our experience has been primarily with manufacturers and wholesale distributors. A fair amount of our customers also do service work either at their facility or in the field. We have customers with as little as 1 user all the way up to 250 users and our average customer is 19 users of the ERP software.

The following information is based on our above experience and actual history. It does not include internal time a company spends in meetings, training sessions, self-training and activities such as configuring the software (forms, reports, queries). This also does not consider add-on’s like Payroll, EDI, Human Resources, WMS, bar code labeling and others.

Plan on 1-2 times the cost of the ERP Software. And not the discounted price, the list price of the software. A manufacturer is typically closer to 2-times the amount because of routings, bills of materials and production scheduling.
