As a business owner or manager, choosing the right enterprise resource planning (ERP) system for your organization can be overwhelming. With countless options available in the market, it can be challenging to determine which one will best meet your business needs. This is where choosing an ERP selection firm comes in.
ERP change management is often overlooked. A great deal of work has gone into sourcing the right ERP solution for your business, getting stakeholder buy-in for the ultimate decision, and selecting the right ERP software vendor.
Business process improvement (BPI) is an approach used to identify inefficiencies, and analyze, redesign and improve existing business processes to optimize performance, enhance workflows, conform to best practices and improve the user experience.
Enterprise resource planning software links most of today’s business management systems, and thus ERP software implementation is a necessary part of today’s digital transformation for manufacturing and distribution companies. To remain competitive and relevant in a fast-paced, globally competitive economy, senior executives know that an ERP system implementation with new technologies is unavoidable.
To be managed effectively, achieve client goals and deliver value, ERP projects require structure. On every Ultra project this framework is provided by our methodology, which organizes the transformation process into four phases – business process improvement (BPI), enterprise technology selection, solution implementation management and business value realization.
We asked Ultra’s Shannon Harrop and QAD’s Maureen Hunt about these practices, and in this six-minute video from our recent webinar, “Benefit or Blunder, Fast-Tracking ERP Sofware Selection,” they offer their insight – and the pros and cons.
