Nobody Likes Change
Implementation of an enterprise solution significantly changes the culture of any company. The ideal scenario is always the goal, but every project will encounter problems. These problems have to be resolved during the project, stretching the resources assigned to the project. "Project creep", those items that have to be added to make the new system act like the one that is being replaced, will also increase implementation time.
Strategic Objectives
We will Increase profitability through reallocation of capital towards opportunities offering higher returns.
-Stimulate future organizational growth.
-Enhance long-term activities through gradual expansion on a more global scale.
- Build partnerships with key customers, both in business-to-business and business-to-customers areas.
-Drive productivity through the installation of the latest technological know-how and improving the working conditions, which would lead to an increase in the marginal productivity of labor.
Successful implementations are the result of careful planning.
It is common to see ads describing enterprise solution installations that claim to take three to six months. One vendor even guarantees installation in only a few short months. These vendors usually don't mention how many areas are included in these installations.
However, they usually only cover a few business Dimensions -- certainly not an enterprise-wide implementation. Even when they cover only selected Dimensions , these time estimates are always the best case scenario with no complications and an error-free implementation, coupled with both supplier and buyer devoting their best resources to the project.
Focus on Education
This point can’t be stressed enough. An ERP implementation is only be as good as an end-user’s ability to operate it.
The team must design workshops and instruction to teach all business users how to utilize the system to its full potential.
Our implementation experts often suggest short, targeted training sessions. This allows users the time to try what they have learned and to develop ideas for process modifications and system optimization.
