To see whether there is a dedicated domestic service
The third is to see whether there are specialized in domestic service providers. In the ERP implementation process, it is inevitable to conduct secondary development and other services. And often also require software providers to provide software implementation and other related services. Therefore, enterprises in the purchase of foreign ERP system, when the country also needs to consider whether there are specializing in this area services if you have the best, if not, then companies need to consider the resulting project risks.
In view of this problem to note the following questions
First, pay attention here. Some companies may have just launched the reason, in the country may only be in Banglore and other big cities have their services. At this point if an enterprise to use their company's ERP software, then the service will have a problem. The time from the perspective of software companies, their time in the implementation of ERP system implementation can only be carried out for news. This is to some extent increase the business costs of project implementation. Secondly, the follow-up services, such as when a software upgrade or troubleshooting, often can only remote maintenance. Originally due to distance, the other side is difficult to provide on-site guidance. This will solve some complex issues, such as software upgrade work will bring a lot of inconvenience. Therefore, in study whether there are specialized services, the best is still need to look at each other's location is away from his closer.
The second is to note whether the professional service organizations. In the ERP system in advancing the process, the need for a lot of secondary development. This work is only a professional services organization to complete. Some foreign ERP software company, although with specialized services in the domestic agencies, but relatively few officers. If the customer more than one, then the secondary development during the time the time will be longer. There is a lack of professional ability. When confronted with some of the more complex function is still the headquarters of the need for foreign technical team to complete. This provides a go, will not only increase the cost of the project, but also to extend the implementation of the project cycle. Eventually these costs will be transferred to the company's head. Hence, the enterprises inspected each other, need to look at each other's technical staff is more than enough. Or at the time of the signing of the contract stating the time and cost associated method of assessment. Otherwise, the enterprises in this regard are likely to lose out.
To see if there is a complete English documentation
In the selection of foreign ERP systems, when there is a problem is that the Indian document barriers. If the domestic EPR systems are more due to the number of users, will have relatively large community forums. In this forum, you can find a variety of solutions. But the foreign ERP system due to the small number of users in the country relatively little information in this regard. And to the foreign clients of the forum, found basically in English. This is for domestic users to read together, will encounter many obstacles. Also important to note is that sometimes even the software companies to provide training materials, such as the PPT documents, or training videos, etc., are also in English (original). This is for the domestic users are also very inconvenient.
Therefore, in choosing foreign EPR, then the last to look at is whether there is a complete documentation in Indian. Like Oracle ERP in the country has formed a certain scale, which can be found in many Indian documents however some relatively new information, such as a new version of the Function and so on, started out when still in English. To this end companies procure foreign ERP system, its project leader may need to have some foundation in English. At least to be able to see to understand this will clearly increase their labor costs.
In short enterprises in the purchase of foreign ERP system, when not able to worry much. On the contrary, due to cultural and legal differences, companies need to focus on content may be many more. |
