Is multifunctionality in business tools a blessing or a curse? 🤔 I explored this in my latest article, inspired by the trusty Swiss Army knife. We all love the idea of a tool that does everything, but like the Swiss Army knife, multifunctional business tools often don't excel in any one area. I remember my first encounter with a multifunctional pram-stroller-car seat combo in the mid-nineties—it did everything but none of it well! This got me thinking about the ongoing ERP vs. "best of breed" debate. Comprehensive ERP systems promise to be the all-in-one solution, but sometimes specialised tools that excel in specific tasks are what we really need. Today, modern hybrid approaches offer the potential for combining the best of both worlds and finding the right balance can be crucial for efficiency and growth. #BusinessStrategy #ERP #BestofBreed #Retail
