both planning and ongoing smanagement
A Steering Committee with senior business executives representing from the business area affected
by the implementation

how to do business process re-engineering

commitment of the company executives

strategy and direction

work flows or business process for people throughout the organization, Thus Management
Guidance helps.

10. Focusing on the Data Migration early in the
implementation process
An Attribute of successful ERP Implementations is that data migration is put into the Project plan as
early as possible.
If data migrated early then work on forms, reports, can be conducted without relying on the rest of
the Implementation
Analyzing How much historical data should be brought onto the new system
Filtering Corrupted data as even a new system wont fix corrupted data

11. Invest in training and change management
ERP Implementation don’t just affect systems and business processes; they also involve people
who may find it difficult to change roles, processes and behavior that they may have learned
over many years of work.
Neglecting this aspect of implementation or putting it of until late in the project may result in
organizational resistance to the new system, even to the point of operational risk
Managing change should be constant ongoing process that need to start from day one and
continue through out the implementation to the end user training at the close of the project

12. Technical Infrastructure and Custom Development
Network and service-level issues associated with upgrading or outsourcing of data centers
Stressed network or insufficient bandwidth, especially at remote sites, due to inadequate
volume and stress testing to the infrastructure
Ineffective technical change management process
Inadequate or unproven business continuity and disaster recovery plan
