There are many things to consider when changing systems. The list can seem endless, so maybe it's best to focus on what to avoid.

Until fairly recently, it was a straight choice between a traditional expensive production accounting system and using spreadsheets. Companies that went down the systems route found themselves with an inflexible solution that was difficult to change and even harder to upgrade.

Like you, they felt they had little choice but to continue to ride the roundabout of hugely expensive installation and maintenance costs. To pay the prohibitive cost of upgrades. Face the disruption of the associated upgrade project. All just to get continued poor support. They thought they had to live with the inflexibility of the platform and the need for consultants, external vendors and specialist knowledge to make changes.

More than 70% of people who have moved to the EnergySys Cloud Platform did so from a traditional on-premises system. And most of these were using Tieto’s Energy Components product, so we know a lot about the migration process.

That's not to say that migrating to the cloud is effortless. But it is a lot easier and a lot less costly than you'd think.
