Right time to implement ERP software

ERP Software Implementation

Recently, due to the economic slowdown, there was little concern whether investment in the ERP by companies may decrease and the number of implementation will drastically come down. But it has been proved that these are speculations without any ground and during the last year growth of ERP software implementation have gone up tremendously and companies have realized that their decision to go with ERP has brought them a good return on investment (ROI).

Though reasons to implement ERP system might vary depend on companies, there are some common reasons for many companies to implement an ERP system at this time.

The primary reason is a slower economy that affords companies the opportunity to use their resources and implement the ERP system software successfully.

The second reason is that many ERP software vendors are aggressively pricing their solutions in response to a slowing economy situation; clients are now able to procure an ERP solution at a lower cost than in years past.

And the third reason is that some clients are continuing to grow despite, or as a result of, the current economy, and these companies are investing in enterprise software that can help them scale for growth.

Whatever the reason may be, what we would like to emphasis is that implementation of an ERP system will definitely will improve business performance. Companies also must take initiative to replace an old ERP or legacy system to increase efficiency and to standardize global business operations.

Choosing the right software is not the only criteria while implementing an ERP solution. You also must make it sure that ERP enables measurable improvements to your business. In choosing an ERP software package and planning for the overall project, executives need to make decisions based on objective, unbiased information rather than gut feel.

Companies must be well prepared before going for an ERP software implementation and must embark on a thorough ERP vendor assessment and selection process.

Companies must also know before making a decision to implement an ERP system that what the company want to accomplish by taking on this challenge. ERP implementation should be carried out only after a study of impact of pros and cons that could bring to the company in its business process and return on investment.

Success of an ERP modules will also depend on how it has been used. Proper training to the staff is very important when it comes success of an ERP system. In addition to training to employees to use the ERP system efficiently, executives should use the process of defining ERP business requirements as an opportunity to improve current operations, efficiency and effectiveness. The last thing a company should do is implement software to automate the same flawed business processes.

Many companies implement ERP to automate their business process and this is where they fall flat. As mentioned above companies must study the scope of the ERP system they implement well before implementation and must make use of all its operational methods and utilization properly to achieve a positive result along with automated operational methods.
