The introduction of an ERP system has far-reaching effects on the entire company. Such a project is not only a considerable investment, but the entire business model can be called into question. In addition to the fundamental processes, an ERP project also has an influence on the process organization and the situation at the workstations themselves.
It is therefore very important and decisive for the entire project whether a company is really ready for an ERP project. To this end, enterDATA supports you in assessing how “project-ready” your company is.
ERP consultation
“What is ERP?” This question is often asked by employees in companies that do not yet use an ERP system, and especially in small companies that still rely on tried-and-tested office solutions. It is not uncommon to encounter skepticism and defensiveness here. If you start a project on this basis, it will probably fail when it comes to selecting the system.
ERP-Readiness Check
What does an ERP project require, what do you need to think about and how long does it take? These are good questions, but it goes much further and that is exactly where our “readiness check” comes in. We will answer questions with you on topics such as:
- Are the strategic guardrails in place and does your company know what it wants?
- What does the corporate structure look like and are adjustments planned there?
- Will the product portfolio change, which will affect the processes and the business model?
- What goals are we pursuing with the project?
- What systems should we work with in the future and are we talking about a digital transformation
- What does the roadmap for this look like?
- Who are the stakeholders?
- What is the capacity and competence situation?
In addition to answering these questions, we help you identify and actively address the critical factors in your company.
ERP audit: Make sure that processes and systems work together and not against each other
ERP systems are in use for an average of 10-15 years. A long time in which a lot changes, not only in the global world. Processes and framework conditions within your company are also constantly changing due to the increasingly dynamic environment. It is not always about setting up new business areas, adapting the product portfolio or integrating a new company. Small changes are also made in day-to-day business over time. But are these changes also reflected in your ERP system?
But points such as ergonomics, performance, data and process integration and ad hoc evaluation options are also crucial parameters that also influence user acceptance and thus the efficient use of the system.
Contents of the ERP audit
Our experts examine your framework conditions in detail in order to identify differences between the current and desired situation and to systematically identify potential. The analysis relates to the following areas:
Management processes: corporate planning and control
Value-creating processes: development, engineering, sales, supply chain, service
Support processes: finance and accounting, human resources, quality management, information technology.
We also take the opportunity to ask your employees about possible improvements in order to identify further potential. The data obtained can then be analyzed individually and in a targeted manner.
In addition to evaluating the up-to-dateness of the software and its suitability for your processes, they also provide opportunities to improve the organization of your company. Based on the results, an implementation plan is drawn up together in order to implement the topics in a solution-oriented, targeted and cost-efficient manner.
ERP process modeling
Especially in medium-sized companies, there is no room for excessive bureaucracy and unnecessary work steps. Flexibility and efficiency in a stable environment are required. Unfortunately, the most important processes in day-to-day business are changing to the extent that this can no longer be guaranteed.
With our advice, you can ensure that your processes are viewed independently and objectively in order to meet the requirements of your business. On this basis, the new processes can be implemented effectively and permanently at all levels.
