An ERP system integrates many functions across the business, such as financial management, human resources, sales and manufacturing, to deliver benefits such as increased productivity and efficiency.

1. 6 Key Phases of an
ERP Implementation
Plan

2. Introduction
What Is an ERP
Implementation?
• An ERP system integrates many
functions across the business, such as
financial management, human
resources, sales and manufacturing, to
deliver benefits such as increased
productivity and efficiency.
• ERP implementation describes the
process of planning, configuring and
deploying an ERP.
• The process typically continues for a
few months—and it’s complex, because
an ERP system supports and automates

3. What are the Phases of an
ERP Implementation Plan?
• Discovery and Planning
• Design
• Development
• Testing
• Deployment
• Support

4. 1. Discovery & Planning
• ERP includes researching and selecting
a system, setting up a project team and
defining detailed system requirements
• The ERP project team typically includes
an executive sponsor, a project
manager and representatives from the
departments that will use the system.
• The team may select and acquire an
ERP system during this phase, as the
organization develops a clear idea of its
requirements.
• One major decision is whether to use
an ERP system that runs on-premises
or in the cloud.

5. 2. Design
• The design phase works from detailed requirements
and an understanding of current workflows to develop
a detailed design for the new ERP system.
• This includes designing new, more efficient workflows
and other business processes that take advantage of
the system.
• It’s important to involve users in the design phase,
since they have the most intimate understanding of
current business processes.
• Involving them in the design also helps to ensure that
they’ll welcome the new system and take full
advantage of it.

6. 3. Development
• Armed with clear design requirements, the development
phase can begin.
• This involves configuring and, where necessary,
customizing the software to support the redesigned
processes.
• It may also include developing integration with any of the
organization’s other existing business applications that
won’t be replaced by the ERP system.
• If you’re using an on-premises ERP system, the
organization will need to install the necessary hardware
and software.

7. 4. Testing
• The project team should be readily
available to answer questions, help users
understand the system and attempt to fix
any issues.
• Your implementation partner should be
able to help with troubleshooting if
necessary.
• It may take time for users to adapt to the
system and achieve the anticipated
productivity gains.
• Some data can be migrated ahead of
deployment, while other information—such
as current transactions—should be migrated
immediately before going live.

8. 5. Deployment
This is what you’ve been
striving toward: the day the
system goes live. Be prepared
for potential issues, since
there may be a lot of moving
parts and possibly some
befuddled employees, despite
your best efforts to prepare
them for the change.
Some organizations aim to
deploy all the modules of the
ERP system concurrently,
while others focus first on
specific high-priority modules
or processes and add others
later in stages.

9. 6. Support
& Updates
• Nurturing your ERP implementation after
deployment helps to keep users happy and
ensure the business achieves the desired
benefits.
• The project team may still be responsible for the
ERP system during this phase, but its focus will
shift to listening for user feedback and adjusting
the system accordingly.
• Some additional development and configuration
may be needed as new features are added to
the system.
• New staff will also need to be trained on the
system.
