#  ERP for SOLIDWORKS Users: Myth-Busting ERP Selection

**Learn how to replace siloed data with a digital thread from your shop floor to your balance sheet.**

Many manufacturers hesitate to upgrade their systems due to long-standing myths that portray Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) as a high-risk, "one-size-fits-all" burden.

In this on-demand webinar we compare traditional industry pain points with the DELMIAWorks "shop-floor-first" approach:

- **Myth vs. Reality:** We’ll address fears that ERP is only for global giants or too complex for lean teams.
- **Beyond Accounting:** Discover how a unified ERP/MES (Manufacturing Execution System) platform moves beyond simple financials to provide real-time production monitoring.
- **Speed & Continuity:** Learn how a single-database architecture eliminates the need for complex third-party integrations, shortening implementation times and preventing operational disruption.
- **Proven ROI:** See real-world examples where manufacturers achieved a 66% reduction in scrap and up to 98% plant efficiency.
- **Industry-Specific vs. Generic:** Understand why a purpose-built solution for discrete, repetitive, and batch processes outperforms generic "one-size-fits-all" software.

Watch now as we deconstruct 7 common reasons businesses avoid new ERP selection and demonstrate how DELMIAWorks (formerly IQMS) has simplified the transition for small to mid-market manufacturers.
