Aside from being
a major capital expenditure, ERP software requires the refinement of
business methods. Considerable planning needs to take place before
Enterprise software can be successfully implemented. In most
businesses, ERP implementation will take anywhere from 3-12 months.
A typical ERP
software implementation is intensive. It usually includes the
following steps:
- Project
planning
- Choosing
an Enterprise software selection/review team
-
Select which products and providers to review (this is where we
can help)
- Business
and operational analysis
-
Identification of best practices
- ERP
software evaluation, including:
- RFP
creation (in some cases)
-
Demo-testing
- Selection
of a software vendor
- Joint
creation of a detailed implementation plan
-
Installation and configuration
- Mapping
of business requirements and best practices to software
(customization)
- Module
configuration
- Data
conversion from legacy systems
-
Documentation
-
Management training
- End-user
training
-
Production
-
Post-implementation support and auditing
