Many ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system installations end up failing or not living up to their expectations because there is a gap between the needs and wants of the company and the capabilities of the software, as well as the way it is configured. Almost every ERP system comes with it’s own business flow and process and even though adjustments can be made, it also means that the company will have to make some changes to accommodate the software. This can be alleviated by having a functional ERP consultant on your team who is able to effectively communicate with the users and decision makers of your business as well as the technical consultants or employees working on the system. This person should understand project management, business process design and organizational change management among other things, to ensure that the right software is chosen and the installation is a success. This will give you the system you need to run your business and make the important decisions for your future.
