Most important thing when installing an ERP system in a company is the attitude{A position of the body or manner of carrying oneself} reform of the employees at all levels of that company. How managers use information systems and information technology as strategic management methods is likely to become the turning point of the change. Companies where the speed of change is fast, have a greater chance ol surviving and growing in this age of intense competition.
Among the points that should be controlled for the purpose of the ERP's success, the most important point is for company executives to have a definite timetable.Questions like, "By when and in what way do we want to do such-and-such?" or "How should such-and-such a thing be achieved?'and so on should be answered. If time schedules and deadlines are not sef and adhered to, and then it must be borne in mind that not only the ERP implementation, but anything that the company attempts to do will be in vain.
Also, there are many misunderstandings caused by wrong estimates. For example, the company does not have any previous experience in estimating the cost of such a massive project. If the implementation boths are estimated based on the figures from in-house development and implementation, then the chances are that they would be wrong because developing and implementing a solution within one's own company is normally less expensive. In the case of ERP implementation, there are substantial additional costs that are necessary, such as consultation{A conference at which advice is given or views are exchanged}, customization{To make or alter to individual or personal specifications}, training{The process or routine of one who trains} and education. |
