Junk Van Case - Reflection

After considering presentation from 4e consultants, I have concluded that I agree with their recommendation to upgrade our IT infrastructure through a Sage 50.  Ultimately, this solution was preferable to the alternatives because of its ability to solve our operational inefficiency with a modest investment that would be profitable from the time of and also provide more flexibility, and adequate vendor support than alternatives. Through initial research I had strong recommendation on using PaaS custom developed platform for our company but the close analysis conducted by the consultants has entirely changed my initial opinion. Upon further study, I have also reached the understanding that what was suggested in the presentation and the Sage 50(mini ERP) approach is best suitable for small and growing business like us. 

Since the non-hazardous waste collection service has become somewhat of a commodity, it is extremely important that we are able to retain our clients and keep our cost structure low.  Using a Sage 50 option would eliminate the need to rely on an inefficient emailing system that often led to outdated databases and pickup errors.  By utilizing a cloud storage service and giving our employees real time access to the database through this ERP solution, we will best be able to grow in the markets we already exist in and further expand to new ones through franchising.
