But in my experience, this transition period is often when businesses are at their most vulnerable. The complexities of running your old and new systems in parallel create gaps where errors and risks can easily slip through the cracks.
And that’s exactly why delaying your decision to partner with Oversight might be the biggest risk of all.
When you’re in the middle of an ERP transition, you’re not just implementing a new system—you’re balancing two systems at once. Your legacy system is still processing payments, while your new ERP is trying to come online and do the same. The potential for duplicate payments or errors is huge.
Take invoices, for example. What happens if an invoice gets entered and paid in both your old and new system? I’ve seen it happen, and I can tell you that it’s a nightmare to untangle after the fact. No ERP system—whether it’s the old one or the new one—is designed to prevent that kind of issue. That’s where Oversight steps in.
Mitigating Risk When You Need It Most
At Oversight, we see ERP transitions as an opportunity to strengthen—not weaken—your financial controls. Our AI-driven platform monitors all transactions across your systems in real time. So even when you’re juggling two ERPs during the transition, Oversight is there, catching duplicate payments, flagging vendor inconsistencies, and alerting you to potential fraud before it becomes a costly mistake.
While ERP systems excel in managing daily operations, they don't have the capacity to detect every error that occurs during a transition. That’s what makes Oversight such a valuable addition to your tech stack right now. You need a safety net during this period of uncertainty, and Oversight provides just that.
The Perfect Time to Clean Up Your Vendor Master
One of the biggest advantages of implementing a new ERP is the opportunity to clean up your Vendor Master. Now is the time to clean and sanitize that data before it migrates to your new system. Many organizations don’t realize how much outdated, duplicate, or even fraudulent data exists in their Vendor Master until they make the switch to a new ERP.
With Oversight, you can automatically detect these issues and clean up your vendor data before the new system goes live. This is an opportunity to start fresh, and Oversight helps you make sure your new ERP is operating with clean, reliable data from day one.
Why Waiting Isn’t Worth the Risk
It’s tempting to think that adding another layer of protection during an ERP implementation might slow things down or complicate the process. But the truth is, the risks of not acting are far greater. Oversight integrates smoothly with your ERP and provides the proactive protection you need to ensure your transition goes off without a hitch.
ERP transitions are complex, and they carry a lot of risk. Delaying your decision to bring in a solution like Oversight doesn’t just postpone that risk—it amplifies it. Errors, duplicate payments, and fraud can all add up to significant losses if you’re not paying attention.
Partnering with Oversight during your ERP transition isn’t just a smart move—it’s the safest one. Let us help you manage risk, ensure data integrity, and set your new ERP up for long-term success.
