For analysts, consultants, and computer engineers with expertise in ERP software, Charlotte, North Carolina may be a good place to search for work. And not just for positions directly involving ERP software. Charlotte firms are also looking for CIOs and potential employees with implementation experience. If you’ve worked for a company that conducted a large scale installation of ERP software, Charlotte hiring managers may want to talk to you. A quick internet search of words like ERP software, Charlotte, technology, and employment seems to yield more job results than a similar search in most other cities, partly due to several large organizations who seem poised to begin installing ERP integrated platforms in the near or immediate future.
Charlotte is North Carolina’s largest metropolitan area, and one of the fastest growing. This is an excellent place to launch a small business, since tax incentives are widely available and Charlotte’s relatively recent Small Business Opportunity Program seems to be opening up options and competition among certified small business contractors. Charlotte city administration would like to encourage the influx of new business, small business and working families, since these enterprises are the lifeblood of the downtown area, especially during the current economic downturn. But regardless of your small business status or experience with ERP software, Charlotte offers many advantages as a place to live and work.
As the seat of Mecklenburg County, Charlotte is nicknamed the Queen City and served as the backdrop to several important battles during the revolutionary war. It is the home of the birthplace of President James K. Polk and it’s presently the 18th largest city in America by population. It’s a bustling tourist destination for history enthusiasts. But it’s also the home of excellent schools and a clean and efficient public transportation system. Property taxes are reasonable here, and housing prices, while lower than they were a few years ago, are beginning to rebound in some areas.
Concerning the advance of ERP software, Charlotte businesses are primarily adopting SAP and Microsoft Dynamics GP systems. These providers are making successful efforts to increase their appeal among smaller and mid-sized businesses by customizing their products and scaling their services to fit smaller budgets. As a result, more small businesses are finding ERP implementations within their reach, and providers are finding a foothold against competitive pressures of hosting services and open source ERP solutions.
Charlotte businesses have certainly taken some hits over the last year or so, but the city remains a vital, vibrant and highly livable community with a strong economy and an active business center. No matter what your level of ERP experience, you may want to investigate the business opportunities here before making a long term commitment.
