slide 1: 5 Tips to Ensure a Proper ERP Software
Implementation For Your Business
slide 2: It integrates all departments and functions
across a company in a single computer
system that is able to serve all those
different departments particular needs. An
ERP system also automates business
processes by placing them into a useful
format that is standardized and common for
the whole organization. ERP Software Why is ERP So Important:
slide 3: Introduction to ERP This post is primarily geared towards the implementation of large on-premises
software packages particularly Enterprise Resource Planning software ERP
however some principles may apply more broadly to businesses of all sizes as
well. Whether you are selecting an introductory accounting package or
purchasing a fully integrated ERP system be sure to adhere to the following
five steps:
slide 4: 1. Prioritize the Implementation ● In today’s age it is possible to automate the majority of your business processes and doing so
can result in significant time and money savings. It is those businesses that rely on antiquated
manual systems that are left behind as software is instrumental to a business’ success and
should be prioritized. ● All too often decision makers come to the conclusion that new software would greatly aid their
business yet the software search or implementation is often given a lower priority than all other
daily tasks resulting in a stalled process. Each day delayed could be a day when a new system
would be in use system that could save time in the future. Ensure full committal to finding and
installing a new system to realize the benefits in a timely manner.
slide 5: 2. Do Not Avoid Necessary Expenditure ● Everyone wants to save money. Aside from bringing in revenue it is a decision maker’s job to
reduce expenditure when appropriate. However it is also important not to sell the process short
in trying to save a couple bucks. ● Honest software vendors should always overestimate rather than underestimate
implementation costs. This will reduce surprises down the road. Unfortunately in practice this
is not always the case. Be sure you are comfortable with the estimation you have been given
less is not always better. Once the software implementation process has begun it is important
to see it through fully. Cost-cutting at this stage can lead to a poorly implemented system falling
short its full potential.
slide 6: 3. Ensure All Important Data is Migrated Cost-cutting may also occur in the data migration phase of implementation. This should be avoided in
order for the new system to proper report on historical data. In many cases the old system has a lack
of reporting capabilities and a proper ERP system can lend new insight into historical business
operations and trends.
slide 7: 4. Allow for Proper
Training ● A user-friendly system should not take a significant amount
of time to become acquainted with but there is always a
learning curve and it differs from person to person. Each
employee should be given the amount of time required for
them to become familiar with the system but training should
not stop there. Time should also be put aside for more
advanced training at a later date. ● For example 3-6 months after training it is valuable to have
a secondary training session to familiarize employees with
more advanced operations within the software. Initially
these functions may be overwhelming but once employees
have been using the system for a while they may find
significant time-savings using them.
slide 8: 5. Choose and Rely on the Right Team ● When you go about purchasing a new software system an evaluation of the vendor’s team
should have taken place. “Did they seem trustworthy Do they understand my business Will I
receive personalized service” There is something to be said about going with your gut on the
team you are most comfortable with. ● When the appropriate software/team combination has been selected you should feel
comfortable in relying on them to make suggestions for business process improvements. ● There are often significant benefits from altering business processes for efficiency as well as
for the software to accommodate current processes.
slide 9: ● Resistance to change may have to be overcome at this stage but
chances are the team you have selected is experienced in improving
business operations and therefore can be trusted to make
recommendations to greatly smooth out operations. ● Although there are bound to be some hiccups along the way
adhering to these ERP software implementation guidelines should
ensure a smooth and effective implementation.
