Companies justify moving to a standard enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution based on several compelling reasons. By supporting a single system rather than several smaller and disparate systems, they can enjoy economies of scale. Additionally, having a single application architecture with fewer user interfaces creates lower integration costs. Plus, with common task automation and easier access to more information, businesses gain efficiencies not available when employees use multiple systems.

While the case for standardizing on a single ERP system can be relatively straightforward to make, the costs and impacts are sometimes easy to overlook. Companies should take into consideration several factors to help ensure a successful implementation.

Clients who have already made the leap to the cloud (with their ERP or another enterprise workload), already know the answers to the “why cloud?” question are overwhelmingly compelling and undeniable. But for others who haven’t yet benefited from the cloud, questions remain—along with some occasional reluctance to embrace this change. After all, they ask, if the legacy model of ERP deployment (where end customers buy the software and the hardware upfront, then pay services staff to integrate it all, then pay even more to maintain and upgrade it) was good enough for the last three decades, what’s changed in the last 10 years?

Value Added Tax (VAT) is a relatively straightforward tax that is simple to comply with, is generally free from economic distortions, and is neutral to changes in trading and distribution patterns. From a government perspective, the introduction of VAT has advantages. It is inflation-neutral, a reliable generator of income, and applies to a broad base consisting of goods, services, real property, and intangibles, as well as being a proven system adopted in many countries globally. For these reasons, VAT is a good option to ensure that there is sufficient funding for public spending should oil and gas revenue fall significantly without non-oil public revenue rising to cover the shortfall.
