ERP Software Implementation
We advocate for your best interests, ensuring your project budget, scope, and deadlines are kept at the forefront by your implementation team.
We help organise and prepare your internal team by sharing the project vision and ensuring everyone is aware of their roles and responsibilities.
We help solve unexpected problems and can assist with your data migration, customisation designs, and integrations - the riskiest parts of any implementation.
Our Project Managers work against your deadlines and budgets using project monitoring tools, ensuring your project team cooperates closely with the implementation partner. They also forecast and provide solutions to any foreseeable risks by always being a few steps ahead.
Key Implementation Challenges
Cost Management: ERP implementations can be expensive due to software, hardware, and consulting fees, often stretching budgets and resources.
Complex Integration: Integrating ERP systems with existing processes and legacy systems can be complex and time-consuming, requiring significant customisation.
Change Management: Implementing an ERP system necessitates significant organisational changes, which can be met with resistance from employees accustomed to old processes.
Data Migration: Transferring data from old systems to the new ERP system can be challenging, ensuring data accuracy and completeness is critical.
Training and Support: Providing adequate training and ongoing support for users to effectively utilise the new ERP system is essential for successful adoption.
Building the Right Team
It is essential to put a good team together to select and implement your ERP system. The implementation partner doesn’t do all the work — your organisation will need a project lead and a team to make it happen.
Without buy-in, commitment, and cooperation from stakeholders, employees, vendors, and implementation partners, your ERP project will suffer.
It is important that the end users of the software are consulted when determining the needs and desires of your ERP system. If the actual users of the new tools are unhappy with the selection, it is likely to breed dissent and disagreements with implementing the new software.
Unfortunately, sometimes teams are burdened with individuals who are determined to see your ERP project fail. Such individuals will attempt to halt the project at any opportunity that is presented. The process of selecting an ERP system can become even more challenging than it already is when someone is working against your team. Don’t be afraid to remove personnel who are stopping the project from moving forward.
Our Role in Your Project
On Point Digital is working to assist organisations to better understand their requirements and pain points, and to source software that is uniquely suited for their requirements and needs. We call this the “digital transformation”. A part of this process is also to clearly understand any potential project risks and ensure these are mitigated as much as possible.
It is the choice of vendors and implementation partners to only show you what they want you to see. Vetting software and vendors is our job, and we do everything we can to protect our clients from an ERP disaster.
