"Maintenance cost:Maintenance and upgrade costs for an ERP tends to be missing from the ERP implementationprojects’ budgets, despite the fact that they constitute the biggest cost proportion in an ERPlife cycle, and that there is a direct causal relationship between the initial customizationsmade to an ERP and the future maintenance and upgrade costs of the system. (Jorge FloresCallejas Cihan Terzi)Ongoing cost:ERP ongoing cost means such cost that we paid the total life in ERP system usage. This costis continues change due to the change in this system like if any updating come in this systemthen we change this system and paid updating cost same as when any problem occupancy inour business like our system not do right working then we paid the maintenance cost our ERPsystem. In this cost our licence cost is come when we renew our ERP licence. In this costcome ERP training cost cost that we paid continue So if the range of mid-market ERPsoftware systems range from $250K to $1M, you are looking at annual maintenance costs ofaround $35K to $200 depending on your ERP software solution. On average the annualmaintenance cost for your ERP software is around $425K. Annual internal costs to maintainyour ERP system is the next component, and also the most expensive ongoing cost of yourERP system. Annual internal costs include your in house employees dedicated to keep yourERP running which includes minor modifications and tweaks, IT salaries, and training. Theaverage annual internal costs for mid-sized companies are around $470K. The third majorcategory of costs for your ERP system are the annual external costs paid to third parties andoutside consultants, IT vendors and contractors to modify and support your enterprise software. The average annual external costs to maintain your enterprise resource planningsystem is around $325K for mid-sized companies. Tallying up these three cost areas, thesticker shock is usually quite sobering to IT managers and corporate stewards holding thecompanies purse strings. With an average annual costs ranging from $800 to well over $1Mjust to maintain an ERP system to meet your business needs and complete in the marketplace,when sourcing the right ERP solution for your organization, its critical to look at the annualmaintenance costs and not the sticker price of the software when conducting your ROIanalysis and go into your choice with eyes wide open.
