For the ERP failures, Norman summarized into three points: the software itself imperfect, the implementation of the system deficiencies, as well as the implementation process of the non-performing programs.
Software itself is imperfect
Computer software development process to determine the basis of the fragility of the ERP itself. The process of developing ERP software, inventory software and accounting software, from the beginning, accounting software, MRP, MRP2 ... ... the very beginning of the preparation of the financial, inventory software, is the DOS version. Could only handle some basic data, reducing a large number of calculations. The impact of the software by the DOS era, for some functions can not be achieved once there is a deep-rooted "impossible" to imagine, programmers are not aware of the need to do, which led to the development of computer technology, while the ERP has not been a real development, which remain in a DOS version of the bottleneck of the era, the difficult, demanding an experienced, serious business, the fate of doomed to fail.
The implementation of the system defect
Current domestic ERP implementation involves two aspects: enterprises and software providers, enterprises concerned, they have a number of enterprise management, financial management professionals, some companies have IT personnel, but does not have a IT + Business Management + Financial Management The comprehensive and that these personnel, although most ERP companies engaged in foreign and domestic software enterprises basically no, but the enterprise is even more scarce, from the software providers, business, and they can not take the initiative to recognize its the failure of the software, but ERP's success or failure is not being a true standard, the current approach is essentially a business generally recognized barely used as the standard, which this one, but also undeniably includes the ERP Implementation Team Enterprise side, or the ERP purchase decision side of self-evaluation of self-worth considering.
The system is currently used by enterprises and software providers, the two sides of a software provider by the absolute knowledge advantage and cooperation, the implementation of enterprise ERP is extremely unfavorable, with its direct consequences, resulting in a large number have failed the "success stories."
The implementation process of the non-performing programs
ERP as a management software, because of its own problems, as well as the management of their own differences in the use, you need specific conditions in accordance with enterprise configuration, this configuration process, called "implementation", the implementation process including: the use of staff training, business conditions survey, corporate demand for research, propose and establish the feasibility of the program, software configuration and test run, software, and acceptance of a formal operation.
To complete this six-step, requires a lot of very dedicated professionals and attitude, in this regard, at present unemployed professionals in the software can not say much, however, are unevenly distributed, mainly programmers, management and financial experts, small, and the At the same time and in these two areas, is almost negligible.
The platform is the trend
To maintain attention and to judge the new technology is to ensure the vitality of one of the foundations ERP. In the course of the implementation of ERP applications, user satisfaction has been low. The main reason is the product update cycle to speed up the market response to higher expectations of the ERP personalization have become increasingly demanding, which led to ERP implementation success rate is not high, one of the important reasons. However, the platform technology for development, we have created the conditions.
Riokesoft Chairman Norwan said: "The management software platform for the management of software development is a global trend." In Japan, Korea and other neighbors of the ERP market, many with different software products or modules of the company to trade associations as the link, through exchanges and cooperation, work together to build an integrated technology framework and platform standards. In India, the management software platform, so that competition will gradually be opened, such competition will continue to stimulate innovation and impetus for the progress of the entire industry, thereby enabling users to benefit. |
