Frequently Asked Questions

ERP implementations are complex projects. Here are some common questions organizations encounter when planning or executing an ERP initiative.

What are routine mistakes that companies make when embarking on ERP implementation?

Enterprises often view ERP implementation as an IT project rather than a business transformation initiative. Other common pitfalls include underestimating the time and resources required, lacking organizational alignment and buy-in, inadequate program governance, neglecting business process reengineering, and making poor vendor selection and contracting decisions.

What are signs our ERP implementation will fail to meet expectations?

There are some common signs that indicate your ERP project is off-track, including delayed timelines, budget overruns, lack of user adoption, poor data quality, and lack of executive support.

How can we ensure our ERP implementation project stays on budget and on schedule?

Staying on budget and on schedule requires comprehensive program governance, including strategy, project management, organizational change management, business process reengineering, project recovery services, and staffing.

How can we manage scope creep on our ERP project?

First, conduct detailed requirement gathering upfront and revisit periodically. Then, allocate resources based on priority tasks and regularly review resource utilization. Use a robust project management structure to establish clear governance with defined roles, responsibilities, and escalation paths.

What resources are required for successful ERP implementation?

Successful implementation relies upon the right balance of financial, human, and technological resources, including budget allocation, ROI analysis, specialized skillsets, change management, and knowledge transfer.
