Legacy ERP to Cloud ERP NZ Guide

Your old ERP costs you cash each month. Cloud ERP cuts costs and grows with you.

The Problem for NZ Firms

Your old ERP runs on dusty servers. These break down and cost heaps to fix.

Joe’s Workshop in Penrose paid $15k last year. Their server failed twice and lost sales data.

What This Means

Your team can’t work when servers crash. You lose sales and pay big repair bills.

Think of it like an old car. It breaks down and costs more each year.

Key Point: Cloud ERP saves 40% on IT costs in year one.

Why Kiwis Should Care

Auckland firms waste $50m yearly on old systems. That’s cash you could use to grow.

The NZ Govt gives tax breaks for cloud moves. You keep more money in your pocket.

The Fix

Move your ERP to cloud servers. They’re safe and you pay as you grow.

No big cash spend up front. You pay monthly like power bills.

What To Do Now

  1. List Your Apps – Write down what your ERP does each day.
  2. Pick Cloud Host – AWS NZ or Azure NZ both work great.
  3. Plan Your Move – Start with one small part first.
  4. Train Your Team – Show them the new system slowly.

Real NZ Results

Smith’s Steel in Wiri moved last March. They cut IT costs by 45% in six months.

Their team can now work from home. Sales went up 20% with better data.

Pro Tip: Start with your finance module first. It’s the safest place to test.
