Radius of e home: Lu General Hello! The industry consensus has been reached, consultants in the ERP role of the project is important. However, how to select a qualified ERP consultant it?
Luster Foi: consultants in the role of ERP projects like "compass", pointing the way forward of the ERP. In this process, ERP consultants have to face multiple conflicts, such as: enterprise standard process and the actual process of the conflict, corporate internal control system and corporate practice, the contradictions, business conflicts between the different sectors, enterprises and providers of ERP contradiction between. Properly handle these aspects of the conflict are not ordinary people can do.
I think that could be from the following aspects to assess whether the qualified ERP consultants.
Ability of reasonable assumptions
As mentioned above, ERP consulting is a find problem, analyze issues and solve problems (given recommended) and continue to use ERP software to strengthen the process. In fact, this process is "hypothetical - Authentication - solution" process. Assume that if this problem occurs, would be affected by consequences; re-emergence of this issue verify that the likelihood of whether it will really cause the result; validation were true, then on to find solutions to problems, and ERP systems implemented.
Is still the "accounts payable" as an example: Company A supplier B payments as "payments on the 25th month after arrival." Consultant to see this after the internal control, we should be able to their own experience, if "arrival" here in the actual operation there may be problems, if this should be early in August to the goods, A Company of payment date for September 25 day, if firms by the end of July put the B to A freight forwarding company, then A company should, at the August 25 must pay a; discovered the flaw, the consultants should be made to corporate buyers, warehouse managers and finance staff communication, verification, look at the actual operation will occur in this problem; if there is a genuine problem, they have with the company's "top leader" to communicate, confirm, propose solutions.
Cheats: You can first find out the loopholes in enterprise management, targeted consultation. If the consultant can find the problem immediately, reasonable assumptions there is a problem and the likelihood of occurrence, but also put forward some effective measures to resolve, it can determine that he has a certain "reasonable assumptions of the capability." Such as: enterprises can directly ask a consultant, I am now accounts payable period for arrival after the bi-monthly payments will be no problem. If the consultant can find the problem, it shows that he has the ability in this regard; if not, it shows there is no reasonable assumption consulting capacity, or no experience in this area. This method, previously as a Recruitment Consultant in a pre-Question.
Good communication skills.
Even if the consultant has a wealth of experience, but, if not able to express the idea in mind, that is useless. Consulting enterprises should be a problem with the number one business communication, consultation; to the enterprise's characteristics and existing problems, to help enterprises selection, Johnson ERP provider communication; right to conduct an investigation and study business processes, but also on the business contacts in various departments to understand. This requires ERP consultants, with a strong expressive power.
Cheats: Conduct business process study, we can work required to complete the day, allowed to do first an oral report to see the logic of its narrative capacity, ability to express possibility; Generally speaking, consultants are all go back and make a summary report to the customer, in fact, the report is likely to consultants only out a syllabus, but allowed the Secretary of writing, this does not reflect their true level of the real.
Strong business management capabilities.
ERP itself is enterprise management software, is a management tool. This essence is required as ERP consultants have extensive experience in enterprise management, is management-type personnel, rather than a technical background, is a purely technical talent. As the ERP is a fairly new thing, the domestic talent is still relatively lacking. So, now engaged in ERP consultants are mostly just graduated from university, or a previously engaged in the development of ERP, mid-life switch to start the consultant.*#Cheats: You can investigate, consultants, who previously served as the number of projects, whether it has the industry project consulting experience; enterprise management thinking is stuck in a purely theoretical basis, or is able to propose a number of realistic measures. That there is no specific evaluation of indicators, which require the company to "top leaders" to do a back to horses, go back to phase one horse.
