How long does it take to implement an ERP solution?
This depends on the systems you need to integrate and how customized you want the solution to be. Some hosted solutions available for SMBs can be implemented within a few hours if not much customization is required. On the other hand, open-source or other premise-based implementations might take weeks, months or years, depending on the customization and scale of the project. Even large businesses don’t usually have staff with the expertise to set up ERP, so they often bring in consultants to plan and deploy the system.
