Barriers to implementation

A 2015 Deloitte report cites 10 common barriers to ERP implementation. The top five concerns were related to change management: resistance to change, inadequate sponsorship, unrealistic expectations, poor project management, and lacking a compelling case for making the change.

A good change management strategy

The following criteria will help create a good change management strategy:

  • Consider all stakeholders-both direct and indirectly affected by the change: It is important to address learning issues with the new tools and technologies and how they can derive optimal advantage
  • Leverage the custom capabilities of the solution: It is important to leverage functionalities like context-specific analytics, mobile capabilities, customization dashboards, invoice scanning, collaboration tools, etc. This will generate greater productivity benefits from your business processes.
  • Prioritize processes based on the volume of transactions rank: Select the most critical ones or the ones with a higher volume of transactions for maximum business leverage.
  • Creating the right user experience is critical: Before selecting the ERP solution, get feedback from key stakeholders. Training will be required to create comfort levels. A parallel operation of two systems may be required for a brief period before the changeover is complete.
  • After you decide to go digital don’t hum and haw: Don’t vacillate on your decision. You will miss out on the proven benefits of better ROI generation and lower cost structures. While making a business case to the management, you must highlight features/functionalities in relation to competitive benefits. Forecasts on business advantage must be accurate and not motivated,

They can see trends as they occur, react to changes in operations or market requirements in real-time even proactively make data-driven decisions and the most accurate predictions possible.

What may happen if you stick to your legacy solution

If you still would still like to stick to your on-premise system, be ready to face these challenges:

  • Much higher TCO and obsolescence issues
  • Need for specialized knowledge resources in-house or on-call that may be difficult to access as the system gets older
  • Decreasing and/or more expensive support from the software vendor as old systems approach end-of-life and becomes obsolete
  • Risk of catastrophic data loss due to hardware or software failures as all the facilities are in one location including the backup data
  • Increased costs or an inability to customize for evolving business needs, which can result in increased manual processes or multiple standalone systems that are unproductive to juggle between

You don’t have to be stuck with your on-premise ERP. You can switch to the cloud ERP in an easy and hassle-free manner.
