One of the first things that you might want to analyzes before you start implementing ERP software is the important distinction between feasible and nice to have.
You need a ERP System in your organization; you want to automate processes, you want to optimize your data bank, you want execute methodical sale processes in order to up-sell and cross-sell; you want to gather information, you would like integrated analytics that everybody is talking about nowadays, you want analyze data and learn the results; you want to plan your production and deliveries, you want to track your sales activities and gain complete visibility of your sales cycle; you want to plan your business process accordingly; you want, you want and you want.
It is all very true. But is it necessary for you? Are you capable of integrating all this ERP features in your organization? Think again.
Each ERP system, program or solution that you will evaluate, whether if it’s online, ERP cloud or installed ERP software will offer you more than you are able to handle (at least in the short term). I am talking from experience. And it will be frustrating. Why?
Your manager expects one thing, you need something else and your workers need something else. But in the end it is a matter of compromise – feasible against Nice to have. And it is critical in order to implement the system smoothly and quickly. How will you analyze it effectively?
Make a list of all your needs. After listing these, try to prioritize them what is important and what is less important. After analyzing and prioritizing your needs see which ERP system offers the closest solution. Try the next ERp system and see how it works.
