6 steps to choose the best ERP solution
A good ERP software must adjust to the needs of the company, covering not only its current needs, but also its future ones. In addition, it must allow the optimization of processes, the improvement of efficiency and the reduction of costs. But, what are the steps that we must follow so that our choice is the most accurate?
Step 1: Define reasons and objectives for the implementation of an ERP
Make the decision in collaboration with all departments, managers and IT support. As a team, identify the weak points of your organization and the opportunities to optimize. Ask yourself: what do we want to achieve with the implementation of an ERP solution?
Step 2: Analyze the internal processes of each department
Take another look at your company strategy, including the strategic goals of the various departments. Write down in your specifications all the requirements of the ERP solution.
Step 3: Detect the weak points or improvement points for each area
Evaluate pain points and factor them into your selection process, especially if different ERP systems are nearly identical in cost and functionality.
Step 4: Determine the functionality required for your new ERP
Determine to what extent your company needs a specific functionality or if you can deploy a more flexible generic software. Once again, your company’s strategy must take this into account.
Step 5: Evaluate the different ERPs on the market
All ERP systems have advantages and disadvantages. For this reason, you must evaluate each of the business management software that is currently on the market. The objective? Check which of all of them is best suited to the internal business processes of your company.
Step 6: Examine economic viability
Analyze the profitability of the planned software deployment. You must assess the cost of current processes “as is”, the future cost of “future” processes, as well as all investment costs. That is, you must know if the expected return is going to be greater than the required investment.
