ERP is one of the most popular workforce management systems out there. It combines business functions and data in one system shared throughout a company. It has modules to cover everything from supply chain to customer relationship management. The systems are designed to increase the efficiency of business by improving processes and decreasing cost. Although ERP is quickly becoming the backbone of business intelligence, there are several challenges companies must consider before deciding to implement it. Most of these considerations are organizational and people related – things like resistance to change, incompatible current business processes, and the culture of the organization. One of the primary challenges faced, is determining the type of ERP system that would be most benefit your organization. You want to choose the one that will best serve your competitive edge. This helps to ensure that the gains will be worth the cost, both monetarily and in effort. Once an ERP system is selected, you should take the time to thoroughly plan the implementation and costs. This includes everything from resource analysis; system design and customization, to implementation and training. Will it be rolled out to the entire organization or only sections? Could you use some assistance with training your staff? The more detailed the plan the better the execution and the more successful the implementation. Do you have a clear understanding of the desired gains and a well understood definition of success? Without a clear destination in mind the goal becomes a moving target which increases cost and makes success less likely.
