While the taking your business to the cloud is a popular trend these days, there are still some businesses who choose to stay on premise and keep their legacy systems in place. This may be a good decision for a company, though managers should still consider modernizing their legacy enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems.

When choosing this approach, there are certain factors to consider when selecting a legacy ERP modernization approach. Two very important factors to note are business risk and costs. While every critical business decision comes with risks, make sure your organization knows the high and low level risks you’re taking in modernizing your ERP system. Likewise, your company must also evaluate whether you can afford these business decisions.

If you just started working in IPA, some of the documentation is not straight forward and can often even be confusing at times.
The “No Incoming Connection” error is a simple fix for most nodes that do a query or write/read on a file.
Example of a No Incoming Connection error:
To resolve, select the connect tool and connect the Starting node with the end node to resolve the issue.
Done! These types of nodes should already come connected and if the developer needs to change them up that would be up to them. Good luck with the rest of the little quirks of IPA!
Since the COVID era began, a popular term in the technology and business space emerged – digital transformation. Leaders struggled with the abrupt change in consumer behavior and many new practices required business to be done remotely. Yet, even as many organizations have returned to on-site or hybrid operations, the need for leaders to define, execute, and balance how a business adapts to the faster pace of today’s digital reality has never been more critical. Benjamin Laker, a global affairs and leadership strategy expert, shares an article on Forbes highlighting the ways that data drives successful digital transformations.
Return on Investment
“CFOs will be the first to share that any business project must deliver a compelling ROI that is benchmarked against a clear and purpose-built business case. Leading companies are demonstrating excellence in their digital transformation projects. Winning enterprises consistently demonstrate how technology enables the organization to eliminate legacy systems, improve data accuracy, reduce risk, and ultimately deliver shareholder value.”
Automation
“Automation should never be the goal of any project but rather an enabler that frees staff time to pursue higher value-added activities. It’s the entry-level requirement to unlock time to improve strategy and achieve new business outcomes. Consider Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. In that case, automation and productivity are fundamental building blocks in the journey to achieving digital transformation — the ultimate capacity to maximize outcomes and deliver value across the enterprise.”
Process Maturity and Intelligence
“To deliver higher value business outcomes, digital transformation initiatives must offer new insights that lead to better decision making. The most effective and mature systems offer more dynamic and integrated levels of business processes to enable CFOs with greater capacity for decision support.”
Value Realization
“Quantifying the realized value of digital transformation projects can help both the planning of projects as well as the evaluation of their success. Value engineering teams, specialized task forces that evaluate how projects can deliver ROI, will quantify the benefits of a transformation project against comparative industry benchmarks. Highly skilled value engineers capture business requirements, measure the impact of those changes in dollar terms, and validate data through a performance maturity framework that measures progression and the financial impact of realizing project goals. The result is a value realization assessment that can be leveraged to monitor progress as a set of project milestones before, during and after the digital transformation is complete.”
