    Different companies may install the same ERP software in totally different processes. The same company may implement different ERP software in the same approach. There are three commonly used methodologies for implementing ERP systems.The Big BangCompanies layout a grand plan for their ERP implementation. The installation of ERP systems of all modules happens across the entire organization at once. The big bang approach promised to reduce the integration cost in the condition of thorough and careful execution. This method dominated early ERP implementations, it partially contributed the higher rate of failure in ERP implementation. Today, not many companies dare to attempt it anymore. The premise of this implementation method is treating ERP implementation as the implementation of a large-scale information system, which typically follows SDLC (Systems Development Life Cycle). But an ERP system is much more than a traditional information system in the fact that the implementation of ERP continuously calls for the realignment of business processes. Many parties involved in ERP software systems are not IT professionals. ERP more than automates existing business processes. ERP transforms the business processes.Modular ImplementationThe method of modular implementation goes after one ERP module at a time. This limits the scope of implementation usually to one functional department. This approach suits companies that do not share many common processes across departments or business units. Independent modules of ERP systems are installed in each unit, while integration of ERP modules is taken place at the later stage of the project. This has been the most commonly used methodology of ERP implementation. Each business unit may have their own "instances" of ERP and databases. Modular implementation reduces the risk of installation, customization and operation of ERP systems by reducing the scope of the…

    6 Key Decision Drivers Erp

    This white paper discusses the 6 Key Decision Drivers that you should consider as you evaluate ERP software products. These 6 criteria are: • Functionality • Technology • Software Vendor • Implementation Vendor • Support & Maintenance • Total Cost of Ownership If you ask the right questions of software vendors you will collect the right information to make an informed decision when selecting an ERP solution. The software should provide you with more than a basic functional fit, it should provide a strategic advantage to drive efficiency and expand your business. You are buying a tool that you can use to support the business functions of your company and give you a competitive advantage. Because the technology business environment is constantly changing, evaluation of the software vendor is as crucial as the evaluation of the functionality. The right implementation partner brings experience, industry knowledge, best practices, and technical capabilities to the table. You should regard your ERP software as a key component of your organization that requires care, maintenance, and upgrading. By focusing on what you need and understanding the total cost of ownership of your software options, you make sure you pay the right amount for your software. When all six decision drivers are used, you gather the information you need to give you confidence that you have made the right decision.…

    What is Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)? “Enterprise Resource Planning” is a term originally coined in 1990 by The Gartner Group to describe the next generation of MRP II software. The purpose was to integrate all facets of the business enterprise under one suite of software applications. The definition of ERP would be broadened to include almost any type of large integrated software package.[1] Webopedia provides a generalized definition of ERP as “a business management system that integrates all facets of the business, including planning, manufacturing, sales, and marketing.”[2][i] Some of the more well-known ERP software developers include SAP, Oracle, and PeopleSoft.…
