How To Calculate The ROI Of Your ERP Implementation
Shiv Kaushik is Chairman & CEO of ICCG, a global business provider of Infor CloudSuite ERP M3 & Acumatica Cloud ERP. In my experience, enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems are among the most substantial investments a company can make. They're also among the most misunderstood. CFOs and CIOs routinely approve multimillion-dollar ERP implementations with the expectation of transformative outcomes, greater efficiency, sharper forecasting and streamlined operations. But if you ask, 'What's the ROI?' six to nine months after going live, the answers are often unclear or fragmented. I believe the issue isn't just the calculation; we're asking the wrong question far too late in the process. ERP systems promise a great deal, but without a strategic ROI framework in place, their value can be difficult to quantify. And in the absence of clear metrics, I've found that many leaders fall back on anecdotal wins or basic cost savings as justification. But ERP shouldn't just capture data; it should drive purposeful business outcomes. If we fail to attain a direct correlation between investment and performance, we have not captured the value of the implementation. Calculating ERP ROI should not be a one-time task post-deployment but rather an ongoing strategic initiative encompassing financial, operational and organizational results. The value of your ERP will span the lifetime of the system, so it's important to examine every facet of your ERP ROI, including: • Cost savings through automation, reduced redundancies and improved inventory control • Productivity gains from streamlined workflows and reduced manual input • Long-term benefits, including scalability, compliance, agility and improved decision making. So, how do you move from conceptual value to a clear, defensible ROI? Here's a strategic framework I use that can turn complexity into clarity: 1. Start where it hurts. Before technical requirements or vendor demos, make sure your team is aligned on the business problems the ERP is meant to solve. 2. Cost is more than a line item. Consider all costs: software, implementation, process redesign, internal effort and lost productivity during transition. Don't forget ongoing support, training and upgrades. 3. Let the metrics tell the story. Look at cycle times, order accuracy, financial close duration, customer complaints and forecast variances. These aren't just KPIs—they're proof points of business value creation. 4. Productivity is the overlooked multiplier. ERP systems should free teams from repetitive tasks and empower higher-value work. Track metrics like hours saved, transactions processed per FTE or reduction in manual workflows. Productivity isn't a side benefit—it's a multiplier. 5. Don't dismiss the intangibles. Faster decision making. Organizational agility. Improved governance. These are often the most powerful ROI drivers. Model them using scenarios or proxy values. In my experience, perspective matters more than precision. 6. Customize the insights. I find it's best to focus on segmenting ROI via business unit, time horizon or strategic outcome. 7. Make it a moving target. ROI is not static. Revisit it quarterly, annually and/or post-upgrade. Use it to guide future investments and measure long-term outcomes. Let the ROI conversation evolve with your business. ERP's true value isn't just in how much money it saves; it's in how well it enables your business to adapt, grow and compete. The ability to articulate that value in clear, confident business terms begins not with asking, 'What did we spend?' but with asking, 'What have we gained, and where can we go next?' Too often, the ERP story ends at go-live. But in truth, that's where the real story begins. Forbes Business Council is the foremost growth and networking organization for business owners and leaders.

Acumatica Summit 2025 Earns Third Consecutive ‘Visionary' Rating for Sustainable Event Leadership
BELLEVUE, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Acumatica, a leading cloud ERP provider, has once again demonstrated its sustainability excellence by earning its third consecutive 'Visionary' rating from MeetGreen for its Summit 2025 event. The 'Visionary' designation—the highest tier awarded by MeetGreen, a sustainable event management agency—celebrates organizations that lead their industry in sustainable practices and consistently raise the bar for corporate environmental responsibility. 'Earning the 'Visionary' rating from MeetGreen three years running is a powerful validation of the tangible steps Acumatica has taken to drive sustainability at our annual Summit event,' said Todd Wells, CMO at Acumatica. 'We work tirelessly before, during and after the event to identify ways to minimize the environmental impact. For Acumatica, operational excellence includes environmental responsibility, and we're proud to lead by example in showing that large-scale events can be both impactful and sustainable.' MeetGreen defines a 'Visionary' organization as prioritizing environmental measurement, developing innovative sustainability initiatives and using its purchasing power to drive positive change with vendors and venues. This rating reflects the accomplishments of a single event, as well as a strategic and sustained commitment to sustainability. Since 2021, Acumatica has prevented over 15,470 kilograms of waste from entering landfills by using reusables at core meals, equivalent to the weight of a metro bus. Similarly, the company has eliminated 88,596 plastic water bottles. Laid end to end, that's enough plastic water bottles to stretch more than 10 miles. 'Acumatica continues to make great strides on its event sustainability efforts, and MeetGreen is pleased to recognize Summit 2025 with the highest tier of our MeetGreen Calculator,' said Carmen Douglass, managing director at MeetGreen. 'Their team has consistently worked to integrate environmental considerations into the planning and execution of their events.' Acumatica's efforts to reduce Summit 2025's environmental footprint led to measurable and impactful outcomes, including: Reduced Emissions: Emissions per person per day dropped by 16% year-over-year, thanks to reduced beef consumption, continued booth and asset reuse and a significant cut in non-recyclable signage. Smarter Booths: 100% of booth materials were stored for future use, preventing emissions from disposal and remanufacturing. Furniture Reuse: Over 4,000 kilograms of assets were rented or reused to minimize waste. Digital-First Experience: On-demand badge printing and 56 digital screens replaced printed programs and reduced waste. Reusables at Meals: Reusable serviceware prevented over 2,880 kilograms of waste and 55.8 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent. Plastic-Free Hydration: By avoiding plastic water bottles, the team prevented the production of approximately 20,000 bottles, saving about 7,400 kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalent. Acumatica's commitment to sustainability goes beyond events. The company is also proud to maintain its Climate Label certification. This recognition is awarded to organizations that actively measure and reduce greenhouse gas emissions across their operations and events. Looking ahead to Summit 2026 at the Seattle Convention Center, Acumatica is excited to build on its sustainability success by bringing its environmental tracking and community impact initiatives to a new venue. The company is poised to deliver another community-driven, environmentally responsible event that sets a high bar for sustainable business gatherings by continuing tried-and-true practices such as asset reuse, local sourcing and freight reduction. 'Sustainability isn't a means to an end – it's a way of life and a way of doing business,' added Wells. 'Through every Summit, we're redefining what's possible for environmentally conscious events and proving that business innovation and climate leadership can go hand in hand.' To learn more about Acumatica's commitment to sustainability, visit Acumatica Cloud ERP is a comprehensive business management solution that was born in the cloud and built for more connected, collaborative ways of working.
