An ERP implementation is a multi-phase project that includes redesigning businesses processes to take advantage of the new system’s capabilities, configuring the software, migrating the organization’s data and training users. The process typically takes a few months and can take up to a year at large organizations. It’s usually managed by a project team that includes stakeholders from all functional groups in the company.

4. Project Management
ERP implementations entail multiple phases:
Discovery and planning, design, development, data
migration, testing, deployment
Each phase brings critical tasks, and all elements need
to stay on track, which requires meticulous project
management.

5. Project Planning
One of the most common causes of budget overruns is
scope creep—when a business adds capabilities or
features to the system that weren’t part of the original
plan—and another is underestimating staffing needs.
A realistic project plan that acknowledges possible
speed bumps and minor cost overruns and addresses
them in advance will simplify that decision-making
process and keep the project on track.

6. Data Integration
One of the key advantages of ERP is that it provides a
single, accurate source of data for the whole
organization.
A key step in ERP implementation is data migration,
which typically involves moving data from multiple older
systems into the ERP database.

7. Data Quality
Multiple departments interact with the same customers,
products and orders, organizations often have
duplicate of the same information in their systems.
The information may be stored in different formats;
there may be inconsistencies,addresses or name
spellings; some information may be inaccurate
Ensuring data quality can become a sizable project on
its own, involving validating the data, cleaning out
duplicates and adding missing values before migrating
data to the ERP system

8. Change Management
An ERP implementation involves more than just switching to a new software system. It
typically means overhauling business processes to take advantage of the efficiency
and productivity improvements possible with the new solution.
Communicate the features and advantages of the new ERP to all stakeholders
throughout the implementation process, especially end users on the front lines.
And make sure all users receive comprehensive training and support to help smooth
their paths to adoption of the system.

9. Cost
Overruns
Many organizations underestimate the amount of work
required to move to a new business system, and that
results in spending more money than expected.
When internal resources run low, businesses frequently
use a software vendor’s services team or third-party
consultants more than planned.
Training costs are one other expense to consider—ERP
vendors often offer free basic training to customers, but
you may need to pay for additional training hours or
classes during or after the implementation.

10. Continuous
Improvement
An ERP implementation is not a one-off
effort that ends when the new system goes
live.
The solution must continue to evolve to
support new business demands and
technology.
Project team needs to continue to manage
the project after deployment, fixing issues
and supporting new requirements as they
come up.
