1. Don't let your choice be guided by appearance alone, but also by content.

As with dating, it's not enough for business software to have a pretty interface. It's what's behind the scenes that counts, and that's stability, security and usability. If a programme just looks nice but crashes on the first serious challenge, you'll soon stop using it.

2. Check whether they can listen

A good business programme should adapt to your needs, not the other way around. If the software ignores your expectations, sooner or later it will be bossing you around, not you bossing it around. Find a solution that is flexible enough to grow with your business.

3.Don't believe in magic buttons

When you are promised that you will solve all your business problems with one click, smile, turn on your heel and walk away. The reality is that a good ERP makes work easier, but without team collaboration and good organisation, there will be no miracles.

4. Be aware of hidden costs

Don't choose a business programme based on the principle of selecting the low-cost flight. It's a great deal, but when the extras start piling up for baggage, seat and even a smile from the flight attendant. When choosing an ERP business software, check what's included in the price so you're not surprised later by extra charges for basic features.

5. Test the relationship at a distance

As a cloud-based programme, accessibility at home, in the office or on the move is key. If it doesn't work smoothly across devices, it's not worth your time. Cloud ERP should be like a good friend that is always available when you need it.
