How Fast Can We Execute an ERP Project?



Transforming the old legacy system to modern software solution is not a quick project. It involves a thorough review of the existing system, the evaluation of multiple ERP vendors, and an ERP implementation project that will consume a major part of the key people’s time. Having said this, it is very important to consider time to benefit with this initiative. The ERP selection project is an important part of taking the most direct route to the goal line. If this step is done right, customers can shorten the implementation process. Therefore do not short change this part of the ERP project or it will extend the overall timeline.
Most mid-market companies do not have much experience in using the modern ERP software. A few of the team members have probably used a more modern system than the company currently have, but it is unlikely that they have gone through an ERP selection in the previous year. Technology is changing so fast that it is impossible for the team to quickly understand all the factors in such a short period of time.
 Successful ERP Selection Project Requires ERP Education
Here are the main steps that needs to be conducted prior to selecting a new ERP system:
·         A thorough review of the current processes
·         Getting educated on ERP “best practices” for the specific industry
·         Defining what the future state of business processes will be

Once these steps are completed, the company is ready to begin evaluating ERP vendors.
