Nick Foy on Office Hours with David Meltzer: A Conversation on Customizations and Revolutionizing the ERP Industry
Recently, Silverdale’s CEO and Founder, Nick Foy, had the opportunity to join David Meltzer on his show, Office Hours, for a deep dive into the ERP industry. The conversation touched on a variety of critical topics, from the high failure rate of ERP implementations to how Silverdale is doing things differently.
Why 75% of ERP Projects Fail
One of the central themes Nick addressed was the 75% failure rate of ERP projects in the industry. This staggering number is often tied to over-customization. Many ERP providers allow businesses to customize their systems heavily, often to the detriment of performance, scalability, and upgradeability. Nick pointed out that Silverdale takes a different approach by focusing on standard Odoo features and carefully designed apps that ensure smooth and scalable solutions. This approach avoids the pitfalls of over-customization, which has been a key factor in many failed ERP projects.
Silverdale’s Vision: Democratizing the ERP Industry
During the podcast, Nick also highlighted Silverdale’s mission to democratize the ERP industry. By providing powerful tools that work out of the box, Silverdale is making ERP systems accessible to companies that want to avoid costly and unnecessary customizations. This democratization is about giving businesses the ability to harness the power of ERP without falling into the trap of overcomplication. Silverdale’s commitment to providing scalable, repeatable, and predictable solutions is helping businesses succeed where others have struggled.
The Problem with Hourly Billing and How STAR is Changing the Game
Nick also touched on the disadvantages of hourly billing in the ERP industry. He explained how traditional billing structures can create unpredictable costs for businesses, leading to dissatisfaction and frustration. This is where Silverdale’s STAR service comes into play. STAR offers unlimited support with a fixed monthly rate, giving businesses the peace of mind that they’ll receive the help they need without worrying about the clock ticking.
