Manhattan Active® WM - Is Your Business Considering an Upgrade?
When deciding whether or not to upgrade your current on-premise Manhattan Associates Warehouse Management System (WMS) to Manhattan’s latest WMS known as Active® WM, some key things to assess are:
Business needs: Determine whether your current Manhattan WMS meets the business needs or if any new conditions require upgrading to Manhattan’s new Active WM application.
Compatibility: Check if your current Manhattan WMS is compatible with any new software mandates your company must deploy to confirm their enterprise and security standards. Is your Manhattan WMS compatible with required Operating Systems (OS) software, Database (DB) Software, any new Virtualization Software, new hardware requirements, etc., that may no longer be compatible with your version of Manhattan WMS?
Security: Evaluate the security of your current Manhattan WMS and determine if an upgrade is necessary to maintain data security and protect against potential security threats.
Cost: Consider the cost of upgrading to Manhattan’s new Active® WM application versus the cost of maintaining your current WMS system. Determine if the upgrade will provide a return on investment or if it is strictly a technology necessity to upgrade.
Support: Assess the level of support available for your current Manhattan WMS and determine if an upgrade to Manhattan Active® WM will provide better support, reduced costs, and additional savings or if the existing WMS is sufficient.
User feedback: Gather feedback from users of your current Manhattan WMS to identify any pain points or areas of improvement. Use this information to determine if an upgrade to Manhattan’s new Active® WM is necessary to improve the user experience.
