In Chinese culture, there is a saying “年廿八洗邋遢” which translates to “cleaning on the 28th of the last month” in the Lunar calendar. This practice embodies the tradition of sweeping out the old to welcome the new, a physical and symbolic preparation for the freshness and prosperity of the upcoming New Year. This very practice can also be a metaphor relevant to businesses – especially when it comes to tidying their digital records and streamlining operations. And like the beloved broom in the cleaning tradition, an ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system can be the modern tool to get this job done.
