A conversation we keep having
More and more manufacturers are telling us the same thing. Support for their current MRP system is coming to an end, and they are not sure what to do next.
It is tempting to keep running the old system for as long as it works. The risk is that the decision gets made for you, at the worst possible time.
Why it matters more than it used to
Unsupported software stops receiving fixes and security updates. At the same time, customers are asking more questions about Cyber Essentials and supply chain security.
If your system cannot keep up, you could find yourself shut out of defence work and tier-one contracts, regardless of how good your engineering is.
What to check now
- Confirm the date support ends, and what your vendor will and won't fix until then.
- Find out how you can get your data out, and in what format.
- Ask your key customers what they now require on cyber security.
- Start looking early, so you can plan the switch around a quieter period.
Switching doesn't have to take months
Tricorn MRP was built for small and medium-sized manufacturers, so it doesn't assume you have an IT department. Most customers are up and running in weeks.
The modular approach helps. You start with the modules you need most and add more when you are ready.
