ERP Implementation Methodology For Successful ERP Implementation
by Nix Polkinghorne Nix PolkinghorneOver the years, technology has moved leaps and bounds and has seen vast growth
from every angle. This is the reason why newer developments are happening all
the time and it is easier to implement them. People have started accepting the
use of technology in the field of business and have ensured that it will enhance
their potential and increase business. This has lead to better methodology of
implementation and in the process has lead to the success of the business. Every
factor which governs the growth of business has been integrated into the
software so that the potential of the business can be realized to the fullest.
ERP or Enterprise Resource Planning systems have emerged as one of the
most important aspects of any business. This is the reason why most of the
businesses now trust this software for the effective management of their
business. Implementation of ERP in any business would move it only in one
direction and that is the forward one. Though each ERP solution would be unique
for each company, there are many common grounds wherein this technology is used
by most of the companies without any major change. But some factors need to be
customized in order to ensure that the entire functioning is done in the proper
manner. It takes a while to understand the difference, but once it is done, the
functioning of the company enhances greatly.
There are mainly two
different types of methodology for the implementation of ERP to ensure that the
success of the software of for the betterment of the company. Before a
particular methodology is implemented, one has to understand the usage, the need
for implementation and the pros and cons of the software to ensure that there is
no problem in the long run. Each methodology will work fine in the given
circumstances and choosing the right one for you is the decision which one has
to make before the installation.
Every vendor of the software would
easily provide you with the methodology which best suits your requirements. The
traditional methodology is the one which has been in use since the inception of
this particular software. Here the phases of implementation are such that
starting from the planning to the inception, the entire process involves the
customer and there is two way communications all the time. This methodology
believes in educating the staff on the design, configuration and implementation
of the project. The most important part of this methodology is the interaction
which takes place between the vendor and the client.
The second
methodology is the one in which the vendor has the upper hand. Though all the
processes are the same, the difference lies in the fact that that the vendor
consultant plays a major role in the entire process. The client is involved only
when there is some input necessary in the designing process. The complete
involvement of the client comes only when the prototype needs to be reviewed.
Only then the training of the entire team begins. The independence of the vendor
is the key point here.
