Conditions of funds
Implementation ERP need for application software, system software, hardware platform, training and implementation costs on the investment, but also a larger investment amount. So enterprise must have an adequate budget, which is a necessary condition for the
implementation of ERP systems.
Quality of personnel
A good quality of personnel is a prerequisite for enterprises to implement ERP, including leadership qualities, staff quality corporate cohesion.
Basic Data
Complete and accurate data is based ERP system, the basic conditions for effective operation, including the financial base of the data, project data, inventory data, customer and supplier data, the procurement cycle, inventory fixed data, equipment-based data.
Prototype System Selection
There are many on the market by domestic and foreign software vendors of ERP software release, the specific choice of the management software companies need to consider many factors. First of all should be clear that the software selection is a demand against the company, is to choose the company most suitable system, to be chosen is not necessarily the best, and not elected is not necessarily a bad thing. But was selected on the right company should be optimal. Therefore, the most important criteria is to look at applications and their environment in the application of company success. Therefore, in the analysis, the same trade at home and abroad advanced software selection process, must be concerned with the selection, affecting the successful implementation of application systems to study many factors. In general, software evaluation should consider the following key factors:
Analysis software correctly reflected in management thinking
An advanced management software must be comprehensive embodiment of the advanced management ideas. Is often said that the implementation of advanced management software is to buy its advanced management ideas, which is also the possibility of enterprises to implement a starting point, high-quality critical applications.
Analysis software fully functional and technical level
Software functionality and technology are two important aspects. If the software product technical level is low, the software is not viable; if function is weak, it will not meet the enterprise information needs. In function, we must understand that it can solve any problem, not solve the problem, the system functions provided by the ability to meet current and future business requirements. In software technology, should be considered include whether the function of modular, module independence, systems integration, open systems, the interface is friendly, operate convenience, fault-tolerant capabilities, applications, security and whether can allow users to customize their own reports, the second level of development tools and so on.
For foreign software, you must understand the conditions of performance
Although foreign software to reflect modern management thinking, but it is, after all, is rooted in Western culture, and different manufacturers, different versions of the software for different industries and enterprises have different performance. Software must be on the outside understand the adaptability of India's national conditions. Therefore, the software must be able to according to Indian national conditions and needs of business users some of the necessary and reasonable, the limited modification, adaptation processing and expansion capabilities, with a view to business services.
Investigate the credibility and stability of the software
Software vendors should have a long-term business strategy, through to meet the technological advances and user needs high-quality products and services, win the market. The choice of software should consider the software product life-cycle, advanced, applicability and scalability, as well as software version updates.
Evaluation software implementation of the quality of service
Software users through the investigation results of the implementation to assess the level of implementation (including the implementation of the consultant level, with an average implementation cycle length, the implementation process of the standardization and institutionalization of the extent of software documentation and complete the degree, etc.), analysis of secondary development requirements (including the secondary development of the workload size, ease of secondary development, secondary development after the original system integration, etc.), understand the suppliers of the organization of the software users (whether organizational clients often share experiences, lessons learned) and others.
ERP understanding of software prices, input-output analysis of benefits and risks of treatment of price, on the one hand to consider software performance, quality and content included in the other hand, should be done investment / benefit analysis. Including the comprehensive investment cost analysis, internal rate of return analysis, dynamic investment recovery period analysis, on this basis, further to do risk analysis.
